Got circumcised today/ How do I deal with unwanted erections?

[mnt1997]

I’m really afraid of having an erection while I sleep! Do you have any advice?

I guess I’m not going to have one while I’m awake anytime soon as pain will prevent it (?).

Just wait for them to go away. Distract yourself, dont think about women. It hurts but only when you wake up. When it goes away you can go to sleep. Its not as painful as you think but its not pleasure anyway.

I actually got one at night but when I woke up it didn’t hurt, just a little bit I guess hahaha. Got to sleep right after!

Don't drink past 6 PM. Many erections are caused as a result of your bladder being full and erections hold it "back". Drink plenty of water during the day but stop after 6 PM so you don't get those.

When sleeping on the back, sleep with your knees up (legs bent upwards) and when sleeping on the side, try to sleep in the fetal position.

Think of a very unsexy situation to get your erections down quickly. For me it was sticking my penis into a pile of ice, helped a lot.

Other than that it is pretty much out of your control. Good luck with the healing.

Nice! I’ll make sure to apply these things, thank you man!

If your doctor had told you to keep your penis looking up, don’t sleep on your back and sleep on your side(doesn’t matter which way).
