Gainsdalf the Whey Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 "what should I do if I get an erection while bench-pressing?"I didn't want to hijack Spezzy's Men's guild discussions with this, so please, discuss. I for one think you just rock it it and set a PR.

bigm141414 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Hmm never really had a problem with this, since most of my blood flow is directed to other areas. I would expect it to be difficult to maintain in light of a heavy lifting session. Quote "Pull the bar like you're ripping the head off a god-damned lion" - Donny Shankle Link to comment
Guest Snake McClain Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 did this seriously just happen? LOLI'm inclined to agree with bigm on this one. but if you can rock it do so. Quote Link to comment

gerbilOFdoom Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Happened to me the first time I went to a popular gym... so much hothothot in one place. It's why I work out at home or in PED (H.S. class) - few girls take PED, thus the hothothot-per-square-meter level is reduced to a manageable level. Quote Link to comment

bgvanbur Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 When I was younger I would get them during cardio, but never weight lifting (harder to check out the girls when focusing on a lift). Quote Level 26, Primal Ultra Trail Scout, Non-Binary Robot Link to comment
katscratch Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 i can totally see how younger guys especially are affected by seeing people they're attracted to, but is that typically the reason vs just being pumped up in general? I've been super curious about this, and how often it happens, since the lifting and libido thread, because i'm telling you if i had a penis it would be a serious problem every time i lift. I'm guessing that for me it's something about engaging my whole body and focusing on the physical alone, and my breathing.... thank goodness there have not been guys lifting heavy in my gym, that badassness would just add to my problem.... if i belonged to a box i'd probably be the resident whore of crossfit....

I started lifting seriously when I was 27 so slightly over that age. Also, it is a very difficult topic to google for research papers Quote "Pull the bar like you're ripping the head off a god-damned lion" - Donny Shankle Link to comment
This is Seth Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I've had to deal with gas and lifting but never an erection. Honestly, as long I wasn't dead lifting, I'd be okay with it.. just stay out of the way of my "other lifts", yeah? Quote You ever see those guys who look like they totally used to be in shape? I'm working to get back to that... Link to comment
ETFnerd Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 it's not a hormonal younger guy thing... i (as an old dude) pop a few viagras before heading to the gym... you know... to get some good blood flow going to the muscles... besides, i've got a thick layer of colorful spandex to hide behind... everybody's staring at my outfit anyway... ;-) Quote i don't care what u think of me. unless u think i'm awesome. in which case u're right.

katscratch Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 um, so searching for an old post of mine i realize i've brought this subject up enough here and there to sound like a total freak LOL.For the record, I'm too introverted to be a whore anywhere Quote Link to comment
AustralMoonBear Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Never had it as a problem with lifting but it was deffinatley an issue for a while when I did Taekwondo. Gi pants are not flattering or boner hidering.Then again anything that distracts an opponent in sparring is good, right? Right? Quote Fitocracy || Twitter Link to comment
sumdawgtwigg Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Never had this problem before, but am curious to find out what the reason behind it would be. @etf I literally lol'd.

161803398874989 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 If you're getting an erection while exercising, you're not exercising hard enough.

Rosen Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 When I was a teen It was common to get a boner in the buss with all the vibration and etc..
