Q: Erection Problem - Too Many Erections
asked by: IWannaBeAnon on July 26th, 2007

So I'm 18 now, and I thought all the hormones and puberty stuff which gives occasional unwanted erections would be behind me. However, its much worse now, to the point where sitting down for breakfast and being stuck in my seat for 10 minutes (waiting for an oppurtunity to stand up without embarassment) is a common occurance. I can't accept that this is a normal frequency of erections cos even the slightest thing will set it off (say a car going over roadbumps or something).

Also, ejaculating doesn't seem to have any effect on getting rid of an erection. After ejaculating, its almost as if nothing has changed and I have to wait for it to go away as if i hadn't done anything - it often seems to stay erect enough as though it could go again (although i've never done so out of fear of causing damage).

Is this just me still being hormonal, or is it possible to be a condition or something, such as high blood pressure in that region.

Thanks.

Masturbating more than once in a row will not cause harm.

Thanks for the reply. However, thats not what concerns me, its the amount of erections that i get that is becoming just ridiculous, I can't have any contact with my gf (just sitting and holding hands will trigger it, normally just looking at her triggers it - and no she doesn't dress slutty) without ending up with an erection for most of the evening. Embarassed She's really cool and understanding about it (which is awesome Very Happy ) but it still gets in the way and ruins a lot of evenings cos I have to spend a lot of time sat down to hide it from everyone else.

Is there a problem with me / is there some way to fix it?

I've tried masturbating a LOT but that doesn't even reduce the frequency of erections. Sad

I have the same problem... I'm around my girlfriend and I keep getting errections and we haven't had sex yet or anything like that. Its even harder to hold down the errection when shes sitting on my lap. Shocked

Hmmm... I'm sure that it's not really a problem, even if it is emberassing. I'm sure there could be much more eberassing things that you could do in mixed company. Like ejaculating yourself and having a stain on your paints. Sad Anyway, maybe you should just go to your doctor or look for a solution on the internet (at a different place)

There are several things this could be.

All things considered, you could have one or several of many causes.

Yes you could still just have an above average (probably a good thing) hormone level and ability to have an erection on and off command.

Another could be that you're masterbating too much. I had a similar problem when I was 20 I thought that if I masturbated when I got an errection, it'd stop. I later found out that it was the opposite. If I masterbated it was worse, but sex didn't affect it. So, when I realized that masterbation was an issue with my having too many errections, it slowed down from 5-10 a day to about 2.

Another issue could be that your mind is in the gutter. A big help for me was to train myself to not fantasize about people I see everyday. This would make it worse. IE: A girl at work that I thought was smoking hot I would j/o to. When I saw her at work, bingo psychology shows that this is a branded pattern when you teach your body to do something when you have a reaction it will learn to do it without thinking.

And finally there is the unlikely, but possible chance of enlarged prostate! Do you have urination issues? Most older men with this issue have ED which is the opposite of what you have, but in some cases, an enlarged prostate could give you an errection when: You have to void (urinate), make a bowl movement (number 2), in some cases how you sit. And all of the things above that would lead towards an errection!

Hope this helps. The best thing you can do is ask your doctor, if your doctor doesn't know, get a referrel or make an appointment to see a Urologist. Don't be affraid to ask your physician these questions. Your paying for their mercedez so they are their for you. And there are always the HIPAA laws in the US if your worried that your doc will tell others about your member!
