Arousal question

[Arrow2891]

I just now thought of asking this. Seeing if I'm the only male. It's only happened a few times in my life, and it's always by something very unexpected. Has any other guy here, been really turned on by something, but didn't get a boner? Only thing you got was an awesome feeling in your stomach, maybe even chest? I've gotten boners before, from very unexpected things lots of times, I'm just pointing out that the few times this stomach/chest thing has happened, it's only been from very surprising, unexpected things.

reason why ?

if you are on cholesterol and/or blood pressure drugs it might happen.

I'm not a dude but I believe what you describe is not unusual at all for many dudes.

Horniness and erections, for me at least, are highly correlated but not co-dependent. Sometimes I get an erection and don't feel the need/desire to use it, other times I feel horny but am not erect.

I think I know what you are talking about.
I remember my ex giving me back rubs where I felt I was a moment away from cumming but was not horny or sexually stimulated at all. Even though it felt almost orgasmic it radiated from my head to my toes.
I have had other experiences similar to what you are talking about too.

I get the same thing, some ill just feel it in my gut....the need, but erection doesnt always flow, and consequently i some times have an errection for 10+ and not even know why, not horny in the least. I find that my erections, generaly, are direct responses to stimulie, wether physical or mental or visual or what ever, but some times im just horny and i know it but not stimulated to erection.

Its completely normal to not get an erection and be horny. Lots of guys need to be directly stimulated in order to get an erection, other guys don't. For some it depends on the level of arousal. You're horny and getting laid sure would be nice, but that doesn't mean you get a boner. But if you're naked in bed with the wife or lover, things are hot and you can't get hard, that's a different story.

As for getting an erection when you're not horny, that can happen too. A lot of guys get hard when they're angry or upset. Adrenalin can do it to you, so can other things. Arousal does not have to be sexual in order to achieve erection.
