I have opposite problem as erectile dysfunction.
Almost every time I am naked in from of people I get an erection. This is very unpleasant, specially in saunas.
My ex GF said is beacuse I am not used to be naked in front of other people.
Any suggestion how to go normally in saunas?
Thanks
I’m the same. Don’t worry.
It is perfectly normal and will perhaps subside as time goes on and as you get more used to naked activities. But if it’s troubling you then it’s worth talking to your doctor about, even if only for reassurance.
You don’t mention your age but if you’re still young then it’ll definitely change as you get older. At the end of the day, naked people are fun to look at, but you become desensitised to it with time, and you’ll end up wishing your penis was more responsive rather than less!
If you’re particularly worried about the sauna then try masturbating before you go. It might make you less likely to become aroused. But to be honest, most people in a naked sauna setting are not going to be grossly offended by an erection, as long as you’re not waving it around or doing anything inappropriate. Just keep a towel to hand in case you need to cover up.
Thanks ... I am not that your.
34.
But unfortunately I did not had many partners.
Like three quarters were one night stand, and only one was a partner (more friend with benefit).
Even with her, I had an erection at any time.
Even doing nothing, just watching tv in bed.
I would try not to worry too much about it and enjoy the fact that you have a healthy reactive penis. There are only a few settings where you’re likely to be naked anyway - if you’re in bed then nobody else is going to see it (other than a willing partner). You might just need to find some creative ways of hiding it when it happens (depending on how big and obvious it is)! Don’t ever feel ashamed of it though - it’s a normal response from your own body and not something you can be expected to have control over. You’re unlikely to be naked in many settings where it would be deemed grossly inappropriate. It’s not uncommon at nude beaches, saunas etc. I’ve certainly had erections in those places before.
My first thought is stay away from the sauna if it is an issue there. Saunas are one of the luxuries which are nice but hardly necessary. Go get a cup of coffee instead. As to being around girlfriends, I suspect few of them would be put off by a persistent state of arousal. Make a good joke if it.. hey, I'm always ready when you are.
Of all of life problems, I'm thinking I could live with this one. And as you get older it will become less of a problem. That is just the nature of things.
I am the same way. A good breeze blows through and I'm standing there with a hard on. Don't even have to be thinking of sex it's just has a mind of its own
I’m the same.
Enjoy it while you’re able to mate. I was exactly the same until I was 49 and got a prostatectomy because of prostrate cancer. I would really welcome a half decent erection now days. There is a saying that goes never waste an erection. I wish I had took more notice of it now.
I don’t know how you react to over the counter Benadryl, but the antihistamine response is known to suppress erections so doctors even prescribe it to patients who’ve just undergone vasectomies or circumcisions to reduce the chances of complications. They *can* make some people drowsy (but can make other people amped up, like me) so you would want to test that out before driving or lifting weights while on them.)
Bob I think something might be wrong with your messages bc you don’t seem to be getting mine unfortunately
No problem
I was really stressed about going to the urologist for the first time, because the same thing happens to me, if I’m naked in front of others, I get a hard on. Then I get there and it shrunk away to nearly nothing. Maybe equally embarrassing 😳. But I’ve never been to a sauna, because I’m worried I’ll get a hard on, always wanted to try it and have been invited with mates, but never been brave enough to go.
Hidden take a towel with you. You can cover up if you want. Saunas are so relaxing and can be very sociable too. It’s great putting the world to right stark bollock naked.
True, but if it happens will still be obvious
xsevenx See it sounds great when you say it like that
It happens to me every time. I don’t worry about it anymore.
Me too...it's cool sometimes but most of the time it would be nice to avoid boners to not look like a creep!
It’s been interesting reading this thread to distract me from something new that’s surfaced in my new sex life. From the beginning question raised to Hidden’s last response. Aircraft, you simply sound like you’re very shy and I think for most descent guys and gals that’s an endearing trait. It seems most agree that you should learn to appreciate that your body (penis) works as it should and is to be envied by this of us with ED or castration. As for what’s creepy, it’s in the mindset of the beholder. Be it your’s or the external observer, having a hard dick in any setting is only just what it is, just a hard dick. Don’t obsess over it and you’ll find it dissipates on it’s own and anyone brazen enough to comment on it can either receive a witty response by you or not but still not something to apologies for. It seems my mate has come in so I’ll pose my question another time.
I am an older gay man and I have a diagnosis of IBS. Am I alone ?
