> [@Neidhart](#): > > I didn’t know that. The one time I tried, only a few drops came out and I got a heck of an ache down there, as if I were making my equipment do something it wasn’t designed for. Don’t you have to do it every morning? Am I the only one who has to do the “flying superman” and pee out of an erection every morning? ---

Nope, many a morn I too have also had to “fly” to get the damn angle right 😉 Its a bit harder (no pun intended!) to pee with an erection but certainly possible. ---

> [@Thylacinewas taken](#): > > I really don’t think it is. It’s not an area that’s seen as often as legs and armpits. I think shaving it is creepy because I’ve heard that a man that likes a shaved vaginal area is interested in its… “youthfulness”. Speaking as a man who likes 'em shaved, it’s not the “youthfulness” it’s the NAKEDNESS. And the smoothness. Hair just gets in the way. ---

Ah yes I meant to address that as well. Shaved is good because it feels smooth and sexy, also you don’t suffer from hair-on-tongue. Personally totally shaved is not really a turn-on, just trimmed in front and shaved underneath. ---

Personally totally shaved is not really a turn-on, just trimmed in front and shaved underneath. _winces_… Sorry. I’m not exactly a klutz, but a sharp little razor THAT CLOSE to my holiest of holies kinda gives me the shivers, ya know? Sounds like a medieval torture method. _goes off to walk funny for a while…_ ---

“Flying Superman!” LOL!!! That is the best descriptor I have ever heard for the phenomenon. Of course, you can always do what I do when that happens…walk back into the bedroom and ask my SO to “help me with my problem.” The withering look is usually enough to cause things to droop. She really doesn’t _need_ to flick it with her fingernail… 😃 ---

“Flying Superman”? Getting your SO to cool you off? Did it not occour to you guys to simply decrease the distance required? Or are your bathroom floors to disgusting to contemplate kneeling on them? ---

The problem that _I_ have is the angle. Mine points about 45 degrees up and can’t be pointed anywhere near the right direction without the possibility of breaking it :eek:. ---

Not to hijack this old dog any further, but what about the final scene in _Boogie Nights_. I have seen many a member on cable but was shocked to see one in a movie my mom could rent at Blockbuster! :eek: ---

I suspect that because it wasn’t a real penis it was less contraversial to put it in the movie. ---

Ken Park has 4 erect penises (as well as others), women grabbing the penises, men grabbing the penises, a full masturbation scene to ejaculation (which you see), and tounge on vagina action. It is the most graphic non-porn film i’ve seen [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/no-erections-on-tv/221144.md?page=3)
