Since this is a guys' section..

Guys I just HATE it when I get that random out of nowhere huge erection in the middle of the day, first thing in the morning, or just sitting on the bus.

It also sucks when it happens on a date you're really hot for after some light touching, but you know she will not take it further that night.

Do you ever experience this? What about the phenomonen called "blue balls" in that she has you all worked up on a date but on your way home (alone) you feel that stinging pain down there?

What do you guys do in this situations to cope?
Are there better alternatives to masturbation?

I may have come off a bit strong in earlier forum posts but maybe I was asking the wrong gender. After all only a fellow male experiences exactly the same feelings and therefore understands me, right?
