I've always wondered this. I just read the thread on how it feels like for a man to have an erection...and it brought up this question.

I know most men have a few through the evening hours and wake up with them. But how much does it take? Of course it will vary greatly...but I'm just curious.

It's kind of a turn on that I may have caused one or two in my life without trying. Or am I being presumptuous?

You probably have. And the men and penises attached to them would not always have had to agree. As far as I know (but I'm not a man) men also have fairly random erections. They can get turned on by very minor things (and be surprised - or shocked even! - themselves) and at other times sex stares them in the face and nothing happens!

It's all in his mind, sometimes subconsiously. So yeah... you probably have been responsible for a few ones here and there... :rolleyes:

The easiest way to explain this would be to say that we simply have no control over it, it has a mind of it's own.
You're a grown woman, how can you not know this by now?

I wake up almost every morning with a semi hard to full blown erection. Sometimes I get random erections during the day thinking about sex situations I have been in or fanatsize about being in. I am sure you caused few yourself without even trying.
 
I probably get an erection, on average, at least every couple hours over the course of the day. Most commonly they are brought on by an attractive woman or thinking about sex. I probably have 10-15 erections a day....and that's not counting actually being with someone sexually or masturbating. I'm in my 50's so I guess I don't need any Viagra just yet.
 
Hmm. I always knew for most men have them occasionally throughout the day. But I judging from this it must me much more often than I had previously believed.

And Retrieval: Of course I'm a grown woman, but I don't live in random mens pants keeping track of all activities. I never asked, no ones ever shared.
 
I think one fallacy women have is associating men's horniness with boners. Many times during the day I'll see a woman in the office or walking along the street and think, wow, she's gorgeous. Or I'll catch a glimpse of her cleavage or a whiff of her perfume ... or that graceful bend in her neck that's always a turn on.

Does it give me a stiffy right then and there, however? No. But does it get me thinking about sex? Definitely. You've likely caused many a man to stop whatever they're doing and think about grabbing a quickie.
 
So what' s the difference between a hard on and just being turned on by a girl, like you just mentioned? Why do you get hard in some situations but not in the situation you just discribed?

I think everyone has certain things that make them more attracted to someone. It could be a persons hair/haircut, clothes, body shape, age, etc. You name it and everybody has preferences of what they like and find more attractive to them.

Yeah but wouldn't attraction bring on a hard on?

No. Think of it this way: You might fancy Brad Pit, but that doesn't mean you get wet whenever you think about him. Now if your feeling horny and then think about him there’s more of a chance that you will, but there's no guarantee.

Not always or right away.

First it's just dumfounded staring and ogling. lmao
 
I must be hornier than most, because I immediately get a stirring in my pants if around someone that I find attractive or appealing in some way. If I stay in her presence for any length of time it becomes a full erection. If I am just passing by...like at the grocery store my dick will start to get hard, but not fully erect if just passing by. I have a hard time with a girl I work with because my cock is at least half hard everytime I go near her. I've caught her checking out my crotch so I think she has noticed. She continues to chat and flirt with me so it must not bother her. I would think it a compliment to a woman.
 
I, like alain88, am a 50 year old male. I would have to go along with him that I get erections many times a day for all kinds of reasons. The only thing I'd like to add is that as I mature I apreciate them more and more!! (I'm either a 'horny old man' or my wife is one lucky lady) :D
 
I don't think I've ever got one just by looking at someone. When I see someone really hot it seems to hit me in the head and chest more than the loins.
 
In reference to having erections while sleeping, my ex girlfriend with a BSN Degree told me that a normally healthy male will have on average 7 erections during a single night of sleep.
 
When I was younger, hard-ons happened more frequently, and often for no reason. I would often have an erection at a time and/or place that was not the most convenient. It was like my dick wanted to see what was happening in the world.

As you grow older they are not as frequent, but I don’t think a guy can ever truly control his erections. We have no control over the ones we have in the middle of night and in the morning. Then there are the stirring in your loin caused by the sight of a lovely woman or a nice erotic thought that enters your mind.

You can pretty much be assured that you have caused a few erections in your life, and that someone has masturbated thinking of you.
 
Jasmine,

I'm curious to know what you were doing or wearing when you thought you may have inadvertantly given someone a hard on?


All other women,


Do you get pleasure out of knowing you have done something (probably out in public) that has given someone a hard on?


I would think it would be fun to be a cock tease and just walk away, knowing someone will be thinking of you later that night.
 
I often find it funny to think of an erection and the analogy to a divining rod looking for water. When I see and attractive woman my cock is like a divining rod wanting to get in her pussy. It almost seems unfair at times because we have no control at all over our dicks. I've been on date with a girl I'm absolutely in love with, see another girl with nice big tits or a nice ass....there it goes...divining rod...looking for pussy. LOL. Can't help myself. Luckily, I think most men get used to it early on and find it a normal part of everyday life...frustrating at times though.
 
I have about on average 20ish erections a day, i do remeber one day i did have a hard-on for 3 fuckin hours, i was at work that day and the girl on the next checkout was dressed very provokitivly; tight pencil skirt and such, that was such a turn on, it was the fact she said she was wearing no underwear as all her cotton underwear would cause static rubbing against her nylon blouse. I had to fuckin sit down and conceal my excitement!!!

Ive got a couple of things i think about to start a erection, but surprisingly they arnt sexually orientated in the way youd expect, one is to see a attractive woman well turned out fashion wise, thats always a turn on for me!!!
 
erections

I get an erection whenever I read Shakespeare...of course I'm always at Hooters when I'm reading it...but still...

P.S. go read my stuff...that'll give you an erection even if you're NOT a man
 
Most healthy, sexually active men get several full erections in a normal 24-hour period. According to one study by the Brady Urological Institute (Johnny Hopkinson University) these are average full erection rates by age per day:

18-25: 42
25-39: 38
40-59: 21
60-80: 12

These are averages and can vary tremendously by individual, of course.

Nevertheless that's a whole lotta blood being redirected 'southward' within the male frame.
