That's rediculous. Men rarely can control their penises whether it can go stiff or not. If some prude gets bitchy just because your dick is hard that's her problem.

Well...go ahead, be proud, show it off! Just be ready to explain to the police how you're proud of it!

ANd remember, if some gay or bi man sees it, and wants to take a lick or more, you can't get pissed, cause he's just reacting to what he see's as YOUR attraction to him!

At home, in the privacy of your own house....do what you want. Thats what i do....i'm naked all the time at home...and even at my age (42) i get a hardon 5 or 6 times a day....it's my house..so i can do what i want.

In public, i have a sense of common courtesy and that is to keep most bodily functions a private matter.

But there is a different between getting a random boner and then walking around with a cheesy grin on your face.
I don't see a boner as a perversion. I know that it's natural and you can't always help it.
But when you're going to walk around proudly displaying with with some stupid expression on your face, then it will be taken differently. In certain cases that *can* be taken as a form of sexual harassment and unwanted sexual advances.

True however how do we know it's one of those random boners or if it's really because someone got a little hot?

They are gonna happen no matter what guys, you know this so just enjoy them when you can because the older ya get the lower the elevator stops!

There is another possibility here... the negative results in attracting attention. It's all well and good not to be ashamed of an erection... but what happens when the wrong person gets the wrong idea? You might just find yourself fighting off advances from Bertha the Bodybuilder.

Because to some, it can mean a sexual advance they don't want.
If you're not my guy, I don't care to see you walking towards me with a big bulge in your pants with a big cheesy grin on my face. That's gonna make me think you're some kind of a pervert and I'm going to quickly walk in the other direction.

I think it is because we are trained to hide them when we are growing up. Would you like to see your brother or father walking around with a huge boner? What about your co-worker or boss?

Also, a visible erection might suggest that you were trying to mastrubate, and that's not something most people want to think about unless they are your SO.

Though if I am alone with my gf, of course, I am pleased to let her see and feel the big lump in my pants!

Do what I do, blame everything on the media

When I was like 12 I saw a movie where a guy had a microphone in his pants (don't ask why) and he met a girl in a bus-stop, he looked at her and smiled, and she looked down and the bulge in his pants, screamed, and ran.

I think this told me that somehow having a boner in public, and while not engaging in any sexual activity was perveted. And yes, now that I think of it, it was ridiculous.

Gotta love random boners though

But just the same if every guy showed off their boners it would become just another natural thing like walking or talking. Just because a guy gets a rod doesn't mean he's interested in sex, just one of those things ya know...
