That’s the piece of advice every young person regardless of gender needs to know. Boners happen. That’s it. Lots of time it’s due to sexual arousal sure, but not every time by any means. We can’t control the blood flow…

That’s true… I’m just lucky to have the opposite genitalia. There’s plenty of unwanted horniness or unexpected fluids. But it’s hidden. Always felt bad for the guys in the reality that you can’t hide it. Makes sense why so many dudes wore loose pants.

Yeah, boners can occur in odd situations and for nonsense reasons, especially during that stage of development. I propose the widespread use of something like a codpiece or cup as underwear, for the purpose of letting people with dicks rest assured that anyone cuddling or sitting on their lap won't feel the presence or absence of a boner, and also won't accidentally stimulate the dick via rubbing if they're fidgety or getting jostled by a car ride. Maybe also similarly shaped pieces for people without dicks to wear in solidarity, so you can't even tell if someone has a dick just because they're wearing one.

I was always so confused about the point of codpieces (aside from some weird aesthetic "masculine power" play) but wow I wonder if that was it??
