I am a 33 year old man writing out of sheer frustration because I suffer badly from this problem. It's all very well when you're 17 but it's mortifying and frustrating at this age. I worry about it all the time - I had my appendix out at 31 and even after the op, when they were examining the scar, I had a visible erection (nobody commented but I was embarrassed). It does happen to men our age, but there is nobody to talk to about it and I am getting so down - truly upset and frustrated about it. I still suffer with persistent unwanted erections on a pretty much daily basis-yes, thinking about sex / being around attractive women etc doesn't help, but I often get them for no reason at all. I get nervous in the summer about it and always worry about it on beaches etc. I have taken to wearing tight briefs under my work trousers to hide it which can be uncomfortable and irritating. Ex-girlfriends have been very mixed in how understanding they've been about this issue. Currently Im single again and this can and does accentuate it. I get very down about it and have thought about seeing a doctor many times-it's just the embarrassment of it all. It's just, at 33, I truly thought that this would no longer be such a problem. Some days are fine, most days are problematic but some days are just unbearable with hourly erections that are just a total pain. I just wanted to ask am I alone here, and has anybody ever managed to find a solution or 'magic pill' to stop it. Advise needed and please, no jokers. Thank you.
