How to never have er*ction again without other harm

Posted by confusingthings @confusingthings, Jun 18, 2023

A few things first:
1. Don't say that this is how things are meant to be, I hate it
2. This isn't to be dissuaded
3. Don't say to 'solve it' each time with a method that I won't mention, that's disgusting.

So I'm a young guy, asexual, but currently struggling because very frequently, and at random times of day or night I get unwanted er*ctions that I can't get rid of, not fuelled by any thoughts or anything I've seen. They're uncomfortable and sometimes painful, extremely awkward even when alone, and make it very difficult for my family and friends to believe I'm ace when this happens.

What kind of drugs, or medical procedures, are out there that I could take or have done to *never* have one of these again, without disrupting the apparently necessary other hormones that are supplied by the testes and such? Like to essentially deliberately get ED?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Men's Health Support Group.

Hi @confusingthings, Great choice of member name. Your "a few things first..." kind of sets the tone for my response and I hope you are not offended. There are a lot of things in life that are confusing and sometimes it takes a little time and patience to learn how to deal with them. It is absolutely great that you are reaching out to learn what can help. Your question is well thought out and hopefully there are some young men close to your age searching for answers similar to you that can share their experience. I can share a couple of things I found that may or may not answer your question but hopefully provide more information and generate more thoughts or questions.

"Teenagers and young adults are more likely to get random erections, though they can occur in adult men too. Random erections that occur only in the morning are normal in many men, regardless of age. Occasionally having trouble getting or keeping an erection is not cause for concern either. However, if you notice a lot of changes in erection frequency or ability, it could be a sign of erectile dysfunction (ED) or another underlying medical issue."

Have you thought about discussing your concern with a doctor?

1. I'm not confused, I know about these things
2. I've seen all the methods online for getting rid of an existing one, that's not what I'm looking for. The point is for one never to start. Ever.
3. I don't care how normal it is, I still want it gone.

None of what you said answered the question.

@confusingthings I just wanted to jump in here. I was a nurse and i worked with a great urologist. He dealt with problems like this so I would suggest finding a good urologist at a major medical center. I hope this helps
