Uncontrollable hard on

    Ok I'm 15 and there's hormones and stuff going on but it only really happens when I'm around my girlfriend. I suppose my question is for the women here. If you noticed your boyfriend had a hard on when you were 16 would you be freaked out/care?

    Thanks.

    Congrats, you're male.

    Most females would find it as a compliment.


  • Administrators, Business & Finance Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 16,957 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Toots


    I agree! :)

    Just don't go pointing it in her face or anything! (Unless she asks :P)
    Nah, most girls I know would have taken that as a sign that you found her attractive and would be flattered.

    Ok. Thanks. I was a bit worried about it. Like when I'm kissing her I'm like 'oh god please not now.'

    Animan: dont get into that thinking, you are going to store up an issue there for later..when it *may* be important.

    Its a natural reaction always remember that. That is what is meant to happen when you find someone sexually attractive.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,930 ✭✭✭✭challengemaster


    Just enjoy it.. It means you're perfectally normal. Don't think about anything else.. just go with it.. :)

    If she notices.. well, I'm sure you'll see what way that goes when it happens ;)

    Not anytime soon with this girl. I was her first kiss. I really like her though as you can probably tell from my 'problem.'

    that situation is no matter what at that age...although now (I'm 23) we can joke about that whole topic naturally...good to have that now

    Did he give you "the talk" whilst driving? ideal way to talk without the shameful eye-contact ;-)

    Enjoy it all!

    He actually gave me the box and said 'I know you're probably having sex and I'm not happy about it but at least use these and don't get anyone pregnant.'
    And that was my 'talk'

    i remember years ago when i was 12 or 13 i asked my mother what condoms were... i genuinely didnt know (v innocent!) i knew they had *something* to do with sex, but thats all i knew. and tbh my grasp of what sex was was pretty basic also...

    anyway, i'll always remember the answer i got from my (prudish, catholic)) mother-
    "condoms are something the daddy wears when he and the mammy are trying to make a baby so that the baby cant be made" :confused:

    clear as mud!!

    op- you ahve nothing to worry about. your body is doing what it is supposed to do. enjoy it! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    Have sex with her, that will get rid of it pretty sharpish!


    Also if she realises you have a hardon it might prompt her to take the initiative.

    Trust me that's not going to happen soon. Like I said I was her first kiss and she's 16.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    ...So? Have you even tried asking her nicely or did she make it clear from the start that nothing but kissing was going to happen?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,986 ✭✭✭✭mikemac


    Waiting until she is 17?
    Age of consent and all that?

    Whoa there - there's one thing being physically ready but being emotionally ready is completely different...

    I'm sure he'll do it when he and his girlfriend is ready.

    Tbh no I haven't asked her that. But I do know that she isn't "broken in"

    So basicaly having a hard on around your gf is normal and she wont be freaked out.

    Ok next problem. My hands are always cold and that could cause some problems.

    as i say to my GF 'I'd be worried if it didn't happen' (coz shes HOT!)

    Never store condoms in your wallet or glove compartment. Heat can damage condoms. Carrying a condom in a hip-style wallet for long periods shortens the shelf life.


    if you keep a shoulder bag/backpack. its a Much better place.

    Ok so sex is off the cards for now. Now do you want to hide the hardon or do you mind her knowing? If she's a bit shy about sex she might be a little weirded out by it, so if she notices just assure her it's because you find her attractive.

    I don't think she's shy about it like I can joke about it and all it's just I wouldn't think she's ready but who knows I might be pleasantly surprised. Well I don't mind her knowing it's just I'm worried about her being wierded out as you said.

    she probable has noticed by now. Just relax, and Things will happen in good time. dont let it bother you too much. if she hasnt said anything, i wouldnt worry too much about it. if you had an erection 24/7. i'd go to see a doctor if i were you. but for you to have an erection, in mid-puberty, when kissing your girlfriend, its normal. serriously.

    Well that sounds positive...but just ask yourself - whatever about her being ready or not, would you be ready? It's okay not to be... and there are ALOT of fun things up to sex that you can explore with your gf to look forward to! One bit of advice...talk to her about this stuff...and respect her if you guys are exploring

    Tbh yeah I think I would be ready. And I'm willing to go only as far as she wants.

    Also I'd be more worried about getting caught in my zip if I was in that situation.

    :eek::(:(:eek:

    That's where boxers are your friend :) Honestly, I think that might only happen if you're trying to zip up with a boner, but I'm open to correction on this. TBH, if you start worrying about all the things that can go wrong you'll just get really nervous. If the situation arises (no pun intended) just relax, and enjoy! In all likelihood she'll be as nervous as you, so if there are any little mishaps, don't dwell on it, just move on :)

    Judging by how nervous she was about kissing she will be more nervous than me. As long as I don't get anyone pregnant I'll be happy.

    Hard on,used to get them just as I was getting on or off the bus....Oh the memories....

    Ode to be young again....Take your time OP and enjoy it...

    I was in Lidl one night with my kids (11,8) at the time spotted condoms on the shelf....My son said "Hey dad (really loudly) whats COMBOMS" exit stage left...

    Haha......

    Oh btw,remember parents can just be as embarressed when talking to kids about the birds&bees......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,945 ✭✭✭cuckoo


    OP, if your girlf is nervous about kissing it's actually quite likely that she hasn't noticed that you have an erection - she's probable focused on her own feelings, the 'am i doing this right?' thoughts, etc.

    Seriously, unless you are lying on top of her she probably hasn't noticed.

    Relax, have fun spending time together - and don't feel you should be rushing into anything further. Have fun, be considerate of each others feelings and keep the lines of communication open. Tbh, if you don't feel comfortable yet asking her if she has noticed your erection, then sex is something you probably shouldn't be considering with each other just yet.

    But, you don't need to let those condoms your Dad gave you go to waste - a bit of solo practice in opening the packs and getting used to putting them on and off is a good idea.

    I'm willing to go at her pace as she's the first girl I've really liked. And as for the solo practice I'll give it a try. Might be a bit embarrasing if I couldn't get one open/on.

    One step at a time!! Condoms are your friend! If you start putting one on and make a mistake (put it on inside out etc), or if it comes off at any point during the proceedings, throw it out and put a new one on. If you're going to see her and you feel sex is a possibility, bring a couple of condoms just in case. They can be tricky at first. Cuckoo had a good suggestion of practicing putting one on yourself. Have a read of the instruction leaflet. You might feel a bit silly doing it but that's what it's there for!! TBH, I still have trouble opening the damn things! If you can't get one open, try another one. Don't use your teeth, cos you can damage the condom.

    Also if you're touching yourself, don't touch her down there without washing your hands (even if you don't cum, pre cum can contain enough sperm to do the job). And vice versa, if she touches you, don't let her touch herself without washing her hands. It might seem unlikely/very unlucky, but a penis isn't the only thing that can put semen/sperm into a girl's vagina.

    Dude, it still happens me and I'm a bit past 16. Can't say any girl has ever been any more weirded out than maybe going slightly red.

    And consider yourself lucky if it only really happens to you around her. I spent most of my last 3 years in secondary school walking around with my jacket / bag held in front of me!! :rolleyes: :D

    Are you for fcuking real...............What kind of advice is that knowing that the girl is maybe 15-16. what a stupid, moronic fcuking thing to say.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28 JOL


    The solution lies in your own hands my good man.

    When the evil one eye starts to look up, grab him by the neck with one of your cold hands, the coldness will shrink him back down to size pretty quickly.

    This hand will warm up and you can use to pet your girlfriend.

    rotate hands with mr one eye to keep him cool and your hands warm. Ditto. ;)

    Ensure one eye is clean at all times.

    BTW: You are a normal teenage boy/man, enjoy every minute, and don't feel pressurised to have sex, the stuff that happens before the intercourse can be as much fun as the doing the business.
