Fighting off an erection while working out.

This happens periodically when I happen to be horny when working out. I might be doing some cardio on the eliptical. There is a beautiful girl in front of me dressed just right in her workout clothes and moving it all just right. Seeing her move it combined with my shorts rubbing up against a certain area sort of gets things stirring a bit if you know what I mean. It can be quite frustrating and involves much mental determination to prevent an embarrassing situation. What should I do to prevent this in the future. :)

    Try hanging around more women, or even dating. Might help you from being so damn hyper! lol, just breaking your balls.

    Work harder so your body doesn't have blood flow to waste?

    In all seriousness, this has never happened to me, but I wear compression shorts any time I work out so I'm not sure it's possible...

    I get the same thing. When this guy spots me on my squats, all the time. What do I do? Its really annoying. I'm not sure I feel comfortable of telling him to take care of that before we start our set.

    I have the same issue, I typically take that as an opportunity to go pee... that always 'calms things down'

    Take care of business as you are running on the treadmill... the added balance would be a great core workout im sure.

    Or join a men-only gym

    This has literally never happened to me, ever. I will get random stiffies any time of day or night EXCEPT when my blood is flowing through the rest of my body. Exercise is the only way to get RID of mine sometimes.

    Take care of business before the gym

    or

    Go to a male only gym (I actually know someone who does this because he "gets distracted by the girls")

    You still wear pants/shorts to the gym?

    I stopped doing that months ago.
