I have been going to swimming lessons with ds for 8 weeks. We have one man in the group who stands at the end of the line and I stand next to him (being quite tall I like to stand in the deeper water) We say hello and do small talk
Three weeks ago I notice on getting out he has an erection I get a bit flustered and give him a smile and I am sure he saw me looking at it
Yesterday he had an erection as well
AIBU to be a little spooked out by this?
DH says sometimes they have a mind of their own and being in a pool with 7 women might just bring it to life

So what if he has an errection? So what if he has one because he fancies one of the women? Sometimes women see people they fancy in a swimming pool. Luckily for women, they are not caught out by this because they can put the errect nipples down to the temperature. What if there is a woman in the pool who sexually desires another person? Until we can read minds this is discrimination as even if he does have an errection for sexual reasons, it could be something as innocent as thinking someone is sexy.

'Three weeks ago I notice on getting out he has an erection I get a bit flustered and give him a smile and I am sure he saw me looking at it'

Not read the whole thread, but why oh why did you stare at his dick then look up at him and smile?

I am thinking of some kind of inflatable codpiece invention to prevent embarassment by unexpected boners in swimming lessons.
Perhaps a small reproduction of a Victorian bathing machine. Pull a rip cord cunningly secreted inside your speedos and WHOOSH out it pops, covering those pesky genitals.

Perhaps he´s desperate for a pee, then?

I thought though the "involuntary" hard ons were the domain of the teenager?

'Stubbornhubby- and be honest now - would it be the teensiest bit possible that you might be turned on by a load of women in a swimming pool?

And would you find yourself incapable of preventing yourself from charging through the verucca pool into the womens changing room and ravishing the in the showers?'

from what I've seen of stubbornhubby on here, frankly, nothing would surprise me [prim]

I need more education about erections. Am woefully ignorant about the ins and outs

well I'm a man and I would certainly be spooked by a dad with erection at parents and children swimming lesson - especially if it happens twice.

Yes, you have all given ingenious examples of how it's possible to have a hard-on without being turned on (and I have read them with curiosity, as I have never heard of most of them!)

So, while I do accept it's possible to have an erection without being turned on (eg early morning is most common), I have to report that 'being turned on' is, cough, the reason for 99% of daytime erections I have ever experienced.

Not quite the same but my little ds (5) has been known to run up to me and say (all too loudly)

"Mummy, I need a wee, look my willy has gone all hard"

That's true, Blu, maybe he's got a crush on one of the (male) lifeguards.

Seriously though - my DH only gets a stiffy on when he's up for it - unless he's just woken up and needs a wee.

Having said that though, he's always up for it whenever I'm around, naturally Grin

OP, just make sure your goggles are clear if you do diving for those Zoggs Seal Sticks.

YOU might end up being the one reported as a pervert!

Absolutely, thinNigella. These men going around with their penises in their underpants and with no shame whatsoever. Everyone knows that men only ever get erections when they're sexually excited so, of course, it has to be that he was leering at everyone there and that turned him on. There is no other possible explanation. He was probably having a sneaky wank when no-one was looking, too. Any man who ever gets an erection outside of the marital bed and with the full cooperation of his wife should be locked up for public indecency and flogged. Although the pervert would probably enjoy that, too. String 'em up, it's the only language these sickos understand! Hmm

For fuck's sake. Sometimes I despair, I really do.

Eww! Well don't look, don't 'get flustered' and don't smile at him!

"For goodness sake, enlarged blood vessels in the penis do not signify that a man is either a pervert, a rapist, or a paedophile."

Come on, they obviously most definitely do. You need to start living in the real world.
