His, Yours, Or...

 

Good morning.

"I took my son to the gym with me over the weekend for two reasons: To get him to establish regular exercise, and to make him understand he doesn't need to be ashamed of his dick like I've heard so many are now. The gang showers he got quite the education. What's the deal with guys getting chubs and hard-ons in the showers?"

First, let me congratulate you on making sure he gets exercise. Too many do nothing but play on their electronics. Second, Bravo! for helping him be comfortable in his own skin. It's what we are born with and we shouldn't be ashamed. 

Now, on to the chubs and boners. I'm sure you've been in the gym showers before. Apparently, you didn't pay much attention. Not that I would expect you to. But seeing a man's cock start to get hard when he's washing it shouldn't be that difficult to understand. Soapy, slick hands sliding over and around can cause unintended arousal. It's a physiological response.

If you've given him the proper information and education, he'll know it's normal and something he should shrug off and take in stride.

Whether it's his, yours, or someone else's.

Gym Encounter

 

Good morning.

"I'm a middle-aged straight guy who's been reading your blog for a while. I appreciate your insights into male health and sexuality, but I never thought I'd be asking you a question. I go to a gym that is not hardcore and has a friendly mix of people. There is a men-only sauna and Jacuzzi off the men's locker room, and while there doesn't seem to be an official dress code, everyone I have ever seen in the sauna or Jacuzzi has been wearing swim trunks or gym shorts. The men here appear to be discreet when it comes to nudity. There is also a restroom around a corner off the locker room. I was in the restroom recently using the urinal, and when I turned around, there was a nude guy walking around with a hardon. He seemed as surprised to see me as I was to see him, but he didn't turn away. I was shocked and frankly felt it was creepy. I washed my hands and left. My theory is that he was jerking off in a toilet stall and didn't hear me enter the restroom, so when he left the stall he thought no one was there (but that was taking a big risk). Or maybe he was an exhibitionist who wanted to see my reaction? What's your take on this, and has this happened to any of your other readers?"

I find it odd that everyone would have trunks or suits on in a jacuzzi or sauna / steam room that is male-only. But, it seems to be a growing situation with the younger generation.

The last gym I belonged to --- before the Muscular Dystrophy hit --- I was taking water aerobics classes. After class one day, I was in the showers along with a couple other men. Adjacent to the showers were the sinks. Opposite those was a bench. A young guy came marching in, naked with a full erection. He jumped up onto the bench and did poses, watching himself in the mirror above the sinks. No one batted an eye. I thought, "Good for him, he's not embarrassed at all." Could have been an exhibitionist, looking for reactions. If that was the case, he left mighty disappointed. LOL.

It may have been the same situation in your case. If he seemed surprised but not embarrassed, it could've been an exercise erection --- which can and does happen with some men. It could be he's one of those guys who like to get hard and look at themselves - maybe snap a dick-pic.

Though, from what I understand, it's not unusual for men to jack off in stalls, showers, or even the spas and steam rooms.

Readers, have you ever encountered or witnessed guys with erections at a gym?
