Getting rid of those damn hard-ons
 

Now i've seen a lot of things that adults like to read and chuckle about, and im guessing this is one of those, and im probably going to sound like a fool, but im genuinely curious. This is my first real post and please also bear in mind im only a teenager. I apologize if this is a longwinded post, feel free to scroll down to the bottom and answer if you want.

As i'm sure you're all familliar with, teenage boys have a huge problem of hiding unwanted hard-ons or whatever your prefered term is, and i and my friends are no exception. We all have our ways of getting rid of them whether it be the tuck, or just sit and ride through it, etc. One quick way we've all done at one time or another, and we came to this separately and just recently spoke about it, is imagining something so gross that there is just no way that you as an individual could possibly be turned on by it. In my case it's usually old naked men, and quite descriptive imaginations.

Here's my question, does thinking about something you personally find sexually disgusting while being sexually aroused as a means to get rid of boners haev a long term psychological effect on me? Not that it would be bad if it did, i'm just really curious, does anyone know what really happens in the brain, can you actually convince yourself by repeated acts that you are turned on by old naked men?

Ok... hopefully that made some sense, i appreciate any answer you guys can give, if it helps , my friends came to the conclusion that it has no long term psychological side effects, but im not so sure. Basically, am I turning myself off of women by doing what im doing?

edit: I just read that over, and that made little to no sense at times, but i appreciate anyone sticking through it and answering if you can :)

I used to just imagine I was playing a computer game, running through the levels and shooting the enemies. I'd imagine I was playing it and get so absorbed in it that my erection would disappear soon enough. But I wouldn't always think of that, I'd change it around. I wouldn't think of anything sexual, or disgusting, but usually just fun, or mundane things that would change my thoughts totally.

I don't think you're doing much harm in thinking about this old man. If it works, it works. If you find yourself thinking about him, and your erection getting harder, then maybe it's time to change to a different thought ;)

Thanks, funny the idea of thinking of something fun or interesting had never even occured to me, i'll give that a shot, thanks for the input!

The only question I have for you is: if you are concerned with what effect imagining old men has on your long-term sexual health, why do you continue to use that mental image? Think of Bea Arthur or Margaret Thatcher or something ... get George Burns out of there.

i usually just yell "fuckin quit it!!" to it, and then anyone who might have seen it is drawn to look, and then I can say, "damn thing goes off whenever it feels like it" lol makes for funny conversation.

Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day...

or this could work... (open the link only if you're an idiot)

mmm.. makes me soft just thinking of it...

I never really think of anything to make myself soft again. For the most part, i just try to conceal it. The only big problems i have is if i need to take a piss and if it just stands up forever. Going to the toilet with an erection is almost impossible! :p

Although i am yet to find anything disgusting to make myself go soft.

DAD GUM FELLA'S---ENJUOY IT.WHEN YOU HIT 51 AND THE JOB PRESSURE AND STRESS KEEP INCREASING, YOU WILL WONDER WHAT HAPPENED TO IT.

Great idea analog! Probably works every time too, doesn't it? :D

I know a place you could conceal it as long as youd like heheheheheheeheh.

Gee i never minded seeing a guy nice and hard in his pants.

vveronica, you may not mind, but i can almost guarantee others may not share the same sentiments...

i almost always try to focus my thoughts elsewhere, but it only works if i'm under pressure. allow me to elucidate:

if it's the middle of a class period, and the hottie three seats up bends over to grab her book from the floor and exposes a cute green thong, i'm pretty much done for. i'll try to concentrate on the lecture, on ugly chicks, on videogames, on upcoming tests... you name it, and i've tried to send my thoughts that way. but it never works. in fact, i would swear it has an opposite effect; the mere act of trying to concentrate on something else only makes the problem worse. i'll sport a throbber for a good half-hour before i'll finally get frustrated and tuck it into the waistband of my boxer-briefs. the uncomfortable placement will generally do what my wandering thoughts could not...

however, if there're two minutes left to class, and Reuben decides he's gonna stand at attention, my mind will amplify the possibility of embarrassment to monolithic proportions, and the purple-helmeted warrior will deflate like a popped balloon.

so, Kazron, i'd say enjoy the mild annoyance of a stiffy if there's no reason to worry. when things get stressful, that'll generally take care of what mental images featuring old men cannot.

good luck! :thumbsup:

*edit* yay for uncompleted sentences!

It happens - why worry about it?

/with apologies to James Brown

I treat it like an annoying puppy, ignore and hope it goes away.

grab it and put it between the elastic in your boxers/briefs and make sure your shirt is pulled down, coats work even better. makes it WAY less noticable and slows the blood circulation so it goes away quickly. It what I've always done when it happens at the worst times...

Aw, just sport the guy proudly... as long as you're not wearing athletic shorts or spandex. A boner in regular pants makes you look like a regular guy; a boner in spandex makes you look like a sick fuck.

A girl hasn't had a problem with my attitude towards this yet so the plan works for me. Although, if 'you' have a dinky wang which is in full throttle, you may look a little funny.

My 3 best ways:

1) 31Friction's suggestion... hide it in the spandex... with khakis or jeans this works great, no one will notice. Just make sure to keep your shirt untucked or it'll still be noticable being that it'll point the belt-buckle up (giant LOOK HERE sign)
2) Think about whatever is non-sexual. What I mean is think of things that are as far away from sexual as you can get... hell think of grandma if thats what it takes.
3) Take a piss.... yeah you'll be doing the Superman against the wall trying to push it down, but its (almost) physically impossible to hold the erection post-urination being that it switches tracks chemically from erection-to-waste disposal.

and no, you wont get any wierd symptoms like you'll need to see a pic of a naked old man to get an erection after a number of years... dont worry

I came up with my own little way...
Image some sort of flood gate at the base of your penis. Image that flood gate being closed when you have an erection. Then focus on it being opend. Don't think about anything else. Put all thought into that flood gate being and staying open.
Works for me.

lol yes, yes it does.

i can't understand why it'd have any long term psychological effects, but probably overkill. no-one wants to see naked old men in their heads... thats just freaky.

what i do (and still do) is have something incredibly off-moment go through my head, the best one that i ever found that worked was 'how do i anti-differentiate a logarithmic function?'

nerdy as all hell, and fucked if i know how to do it, but the tent in my pants falls down mighty fast everytime.

It happens - why worry about it?

you are so right yournamehere

I am hard most of the day, and does show often, that is why i wear bady pants. if a woman saw me hard, and started staring, I just smile at here and tell here " it is alwyas in saluting, sorry" but it tend to get some lady friends excited. a man with actual large hard cock.

be proud of your self. only time I had to worry about hardons is when I lived in the nudist colony, it is an insult toothersif you had a hardon.

Erections
 

g puppy disappear

I will sometime start counting a sequence in my head like 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 etc... Once I get to the higher numbers, Im concentrating more on it than whatever my pants are.

If you don't mind it, walk around with a hard-on say " you're just jealous you don't have what I got " and flip it at them for fun ( the little elvis hip gig)

lol, a friend once recommended to me to imagine that you're looking through the whole goatse 40 picture series zip file

It's really disgusting but it kills your wood pretty fast. lol.

A method I remember using is making sure that absolutely nothing (no pants, boxers, etc.) is touching the dick, and while avoiding looking at anything but a blank wall quickly naming whatever comes to mind, not actually pausing to think about anything (example: SNL, speakers, watch, water bottle, white out, kleenex, diet vanilla coke, stapler, notorious BIG).

I always just lop it off with pruning shears.

No one will notice if you don't wear such tight pants. Just adjust it so that it stands straight behind your zipper; there's a natural bulge there. Works with boxers, briefs, or when going commando.
