Life As a Boy - Erections

When you're a boy, erections are both welcomed and feared simultaneously. By the time a boy gets to be a legal adult, this physical phenomenon isn't too mysterious, but for a young, impressionable and hormone-flooded youngster, it seems like the penis can have a life of its own, and that life seems to be determined to humiliate the lad as much as possible.

Are Testicles Necessary?

Boy

Testicles do not descend outwardly until a boy is entering puberty, so there is a tasteless misconception that the youngster is incapable of getting an erection until then. Although testicles are considerable for the yield of sperm, they are not considerable for an erection, which is caused by sudden blood flow to the penis.

Life As a Boy - Erections

Studies have shown that, even while still in the womb, a boy erection is a regular event. Even after birth, baby boys often startle diaper-changers with their erections. This is perfectly general and doesn't mean the baby is sexually precocious. As any man will grudgingly tell you, you don't have to be sexually aroused in order to get an erection.

Peer Pressure

While growing up, children generally like to be determined as a general kid. Anything that makes them look strange is regularly ridiculed by other kids. Also, because the boy is young and not used to dealing with communal embarrassment, being teased can be a very intense time. A boy erection in gym class or in communal is a more often occurring event than an individual boy may think and regularly happens to any man.

Anything that causes a sudden rush of blood to fill up the vessels in the penis will cause an erection. physical practice or even taking a shower can trigger the process. Unlike girls, which are regularly shielded from being naked in front of other girls, boys often have to take communal showers and, through the use of the communal urinal, have to expose themselves to some extent. This makes a boy more open to ridicule for a physical reason.

What's Normal?

Because of many communal taboos on talking about boy erections in public, young boys can often feel as if they are somehow cured or abnormal for getting an erection at an inopportune moment. There does tend to be a big fear that somehow they are sick, diseased or somehow abnormal. Well, it is perfectly general to think you or your genitalia are abnormal.

There doesn't seem to be a general number of times that a boy should get an erection in a usual day or night. What's general for you is not necessarily going to be general for any person else. The only times a boy needs to consult a physician are when the erections are somehow very painful or if he discovers a lump on his genitals.
