Are men ever embarrassed

Every man, at least 95%, think they are macho. Have you ever had an embarrassing moment with a woman? Elderly men get easily embarrassed, but young chaps can handle it showing of there erection. It's understandable peeking upskirt, or seeing an unexpected pussy flash that creates embarrassing situations. I am curious what men think about it. ANGIE

the only time i was remotely embarrassed...I had an erection when I was in school...my female teacher took me aside and told me that was normal for my age...I didn't run around hanging my boner out..I just felt better. I'm sure if that were today...i'd be kicked out of school and forced into sensitivity and other brainwashing classes

Who are you calling "macho"?



How do you quantify that? On what data do you base your claim that "95% of men think they are "macho"? That's 95 out of 100 or 9.5 out of ten who allegedly think they are "macho". I think most men, even men that others might characterize as "macho", would not characterize themselves as such and kind of look upon the characterization as a bit of an insult. But, then, maybe I AM atypical?

This is especially true in today's political and social climate in which prideful masculinity is viewed as undesirable (or at least portrayed that way in the media).

Of course the old world definition of "macho" (as derived from the Spanish "machismo") would be something akin to:

"...a man with stereotypically male characteristics such as virility, strength and toughness, particularly with regard to sexual attractiveness." Fair enough!

In modern society, the term has become to mean something more like:

"....A male person that acts like he is the king of the world.
Generally shows a degrading attitude towards women and sensitive men."

and, "male who cannot "lose face" in front of his mates or women. most macho men have the emotional range of a teaspoon and have enough empathy to fill the ink tube in a pen.

macho men find any contact with other males to be of "homosexual" nature, with the exception of the "manly handshake". " (Urban Dictionary)

Fair enough as well...but I would think that if this forum shows us anything it's that such doesn't characterize 95% of men (or at least, and thankfully, 95% of the men in this place).

All of that said....LOL

I think we've all had those moments when we've had an inappropriate, or at the very least inconveniently timed, reaction to sexual stimulation or thoughts. I've certainly gotten a "chubby" in my Speedo or gym shorts, or a "tilt in me kilt", at the sght of someone I find attractive when engaged in activities that wouldn't be considered sexual in nature. As the saying goes, "My thoughts betrayed me."

Admittedly, and though I might make a cursory effort at concealing my arousal, I can't say that I've been particularly embarrassed when the subject of desire that caused the reaction is a member of the opposite sex. I had a long term girlfriend who was a sword dancer for a bagpipe band I was in and her short kilt, long legs and tight ass often led to a tilt in my kit. Rather than worry about, we'd just find someplace to alleviate the condition (which was convenient when both are wearing kilts).

However, and why should it have to be this way, I find myself more embarrassed, and concerned about "who might notice", when my arousal has been caused by someone of my own sex.

I've been bisexual for as long as I've been sexually active, with proclivities leaning more one way or the other at various times in my life, which has sometimes led to having a little more "lead in the pencil" than might be appropriate in certain situations....like in the showers and locker room at the gym, law enforcement academies, or even at the office. I think the fact that the contact between the gay lover of my youth and I often occurred in a pool house or shower made such thoughts and reactions more likely.

Hardly macho, but I suppose that when you "swing both ways" the chances of putting on an embarrassing display are double (at least).
