  Depends on age. Most men , as they get older, aren’t able to get an erection as easily or have it last as long as they could in their early 20s. And certainly not at the same level of 16.

  I’m a woman. But this is what I’ve heard and also what I know about biology of reproductive system.

  It’s totally normal to change. It’s part of the body’s maturation. Nothing for men to worry about or think there is something wrong with them. There isn’t. Women’s bodys change too.

  Also I’m sure most men are grateful it doesn’t work like a 16 year olds their whole life.

  Imagine having to carry around a book or backpack all the time to hide an unwanted erection.

  Guys have told me these incidents were mortifying to them as teenagers.

  But if it’s any consolation, I actually didn’t know why boys were carrying their math textbooks in front of them when they went to the chalkboard until years later and I don’t recall any specific incidents.

  So don’t worry. Your female classmates were probably as oblivious as I was.

    Unintentional boners are the bane of being a teenage boy. There was one dude who did this elaborate “will you go to prom with me” in the middle of the lunch room and when she said “yes” he got a little too excited. We laughed but it’s more sympathetic laughter because it happens to everyone.

      If it’s any consolation, as a teenage girl, I was largely unaware of this phenomenon occurring.

      I thought when guys brought their math book with them to the chalkboard they brought it to use if needed.

      Or forgot they were carrying it.

      Idk. I never thought about it much.

      I can’t even remember one incident of seeing a teen boy with a pitched tent in school. I’m sure there was. But nothing stands out.

      I don’t think most girls that age (or at least my generation) understood what an erection really was or how it worked. Most of us were oblivious to the teen boy struggle.

      We were dealing with periods and soaked underwater. The latter of which was never explained in health class.

      Us gals worried that a dark spot or wet spot was visible on the back of our pants.

      They really don’t educate kids very well about these things.

      God, puberty was the worst wasn’t it?

        Everyone knew at our school, hell people had sex in the hallways, it’s always interesting to meet someone who actually got to be a teenager

        Horny and stupid. We could fix the stupid but that would require effort and education.

        And for some reason people seem against that…
