A couple of questions for straight guys

Just one.

My bro and I used to play badminton and after/during showering this same guy allus strolled through the shower room with the most ginormous hard on you ever saw.

Show off bastard

That’s the thing that confuses me most though, I did hear of it, at a very young age (5th grade or so) from teachers in sex ed.

And this was repeated in sex ed in 6th grade and 7th grade and 8th. I used to look around the room and wonder which of these weird bastards was partaking in group masturbation. Because it sure as hell wasn’t anyone I knew (or if it was, they didn’t want to invite me, thank god).

As a gay guy, of course none of that counts. But I live in a straight world and yeah, I’ve seen a couple hard-ons. My brother’s unfortunately. God, I wish I could brain-wipe that. We were living together one summer during college, he was in his room with his girl friend and we had this terrific thunderstorm. There was a tornado siren right outside our building, and it went off. Very alarming. My brother came running into the living room stark naked and sporting a woodie. “Run, run, get to the basement!”

“Uh, I just saw your hard-on. I think I’ll just stay here and die.”

You can sunbathe nude in Germany. Englisher Gartens in Munich is a well-known one. I was walking through there one day and this guy was laying there with a big ol’ woodie. I thought, “that’s kinda rude. Nude is one thing, but aren’t you being rather exhibitionist.”

Having been the Army, I’m sure I must have seen a hard-on at some point, though don’t recall any specific incidences.

The very first job I had was at a restaurant. I didn’t see it, but everyone talked about the time the chef and the manager - who were really competitive with each other - went in the back and compared their erect dicks to settle the question once and for all.

What? so being gay means you will never as an adult hang out in a locker room? the socialization I referred to is learning how to behave in a locker room. Not all that different really from peeing next to strangers - eyes up, conversations appropriate if any at all. Just more so.

I am sure people can get it under your circumstance, but others might feel awkward and avoid the situation and that would be too bad IMHO.

What is with you? Who needs to be taught that you don’t stare at another man’s junk in the locker room? Only someone who has an absolute lack of social awareness would think it’s OK to leer at strangers in a locker room, whether they be straight, gay or whatever.

Or am I the weirdo because “locker room socialization” came naturally to me after spending a few minutes in a locker room before and after gym class?

Regarding locker room showoffs, it’s possible that they were stuck in the embarrassment/erection vicious circle some guys get.

Yeah, I guess I’ve seen a few.

When I was in my twenties, I ended up in an inordinate amount of MMF threesomes. (By “inordinate” I mean “four,” two of which lasted a couple months.)

I saw a couple in circle during my Wiccan phase. (Also early twenties, and a great way to meet wimmins.)

There was the creepy guy jerking off under the bridge when I was 12, and the other creepy guy at the Aquatic Center shower a couple years later.

Oh yeah, and that guy receiving head in the lounge at that mad mad party in 1999.

Eight! Eight others’ erections!

I was about to reply to her, but this pretty much says it.

Some of my PE teachers did run us rather ragged. And some activities could get pretty heated, like basketball.

I signed up for one special type of PE class one semester in high school called Noncompetitive Tennis, so I could get out of regular PE class. It was tennis for people who just wanted to bop the ball around and not get serious about playing on the school team. The coach didn’t take it seriously at all; he used the time to squirrel himself away in his office and take care of paperwork. There were only four of us taking the course, so what we did was divide up into teams and, instead of play tennis like we were supposed to, have raging tennis-ball wars. We’d stalk each other everywhere and smack the balls hard with the rackets. Similar to modern-day paintball wars. One guy in particular was bad news to be on the other team, because he could really smack you. We got pretty sweaty running around like that.

I hurt my foot my freshman year of college right before I took PE and wound up pogo-sticking while everybody else played real sports. I shit you not.

So, am I to understand from this thread that “we guys” think it’s just peachy that we’re generally unfamiliar with social hard cock?

I appreciate, honor and salute all of you, we are each entitled to our own world view. But maybe, just maybe, life has some richness in store for us if we set aside our fears and predilections. Straight men really don’t need any additional erotic fuel, but the more the better I say. The New York Times Sunday magazine recently ran an article describing the ability of women to respond to a wide range of erotic stimulus, while men seemed to have a much more restricted menu. So I take it as a given, no harm no foul.

But guys, let me clue you into something. The next time you’re in a mixed group of naked, sexually adventurous adults, if you push past your conditioning just enough to take another man’s erect phallus into your grip, the women who see what you’re doing will be all over your shit within a very short time. For that effect alone, it is worth getting over your dick-aversion.

Enjoy life.

Now, if I had said that, I’d be accused of trying to recruit.

Erm. I don’t know. The thought of man on man is kind of hot in the abstract, but I’m not sure I’d be that turned on by seeing a guy do that. There’s other stuff to light my fire way more.

FS, your opinion is certainly just as good as anyone else’s, but you think oral sex is icky, for goodness sake. How can we interpret your experience through a lens like that?

Wow, people pay attention to what I post!

But, um, I never said I thought oral sex is “icky.” I perform it, and I don’t have a problem with other people doing it. I’m personally just not wired to enjoy that kind of sensation. I’m not sure what that has to with this topic, though…

ETA: Okay, I apparently did say icky. But I don’t mean the concept of it is. In theory, I’m fine with it. I just don’t like the way it feels on me, but I’m willing to do it. I just really hate receiving it.

I’ve seen 'em, I never thought to count them. :slight_smile:

I used to socialize with a number of people who were… let’s say… sexually casual. I’d knock on their front door, hear someone say, “Come in!”, and walk in to see two (or more) people having sex. I’d be visiting and come out of the bathroom and people I’d been talking to a couple of minutes earlier would be naked and sweating. I once was playing Techmo Bowl football with a friend and turned to tell him that he wasn’t on his game that day and saw why… I guess a blowjob would have distracted me too.

What she said. I’m not that into folks’ mouths. Figuratively & literally. Don’t like the sensation. Total turn-off.

I don’t see why it would be impossible for a straight guy to find dicks interesting or even aesthetically pleasing. It’s part of the male form, and when you think of all the famous painters and sculptors and photographers who have worked with the male form, they couldn’t all have been gay. Doctors who specialize in that part of the male anatomy are surely interested in it, without being turned on by it.

The way I heard the joke was,

Q: What do you call a doctor who flunks his proctology residency?

A: A urologist.

You don’t get involved in mmf threesomes without seeing an erect penis or two. The trick is to not end up with it in your face.
