I'm a 14-year-old girl. As I was leaving school the other day, I was walking with a casual male friend. As we were talking, he developed a
very large, very obvious erection. I was so embarrassed for him! I pretended not to notice, and didn't say anything, but he seemed
mortified, and left in a hurry. What should I have done?
hitler_the_goat answered Wednesday August 5 2009, 11:57 am: you shoulda started hitting on him or talking dirty. that woulda made it hilarious! but seriously, unless you want to see it, don't talk to a dude about the wood he's sporting.

LOL_x0x answered Wednesday August 5 2009, 11:05 am: You were right to not acknowledge it. You would have made him 100 times more embarrassed if you would have said something to him about it.
Alin75 answered Wednesday August 5 2009, 6:42 am: You did the right thing. There really is nothing you could have said that would have made matters better.
Though I must admit that would have been perfect timing for a "is that a flashlight in your pocket..." type of comment :) Just kidding at his age it might just have scarred him for life.
annon answered Wednesday August 5 2009, 2:44 am: iv got to say you dont type like a 14 year old due to vocabulary and such but oh well.
If you pretended not to notice im sure that would have been ok, in that situation you cant really do anything these things happen and the come and go its just a part of growing up.. think of it as his body taking it out for a test drive haha [ annon's advice column | Ask annon A Question ]
lostsoul_forever answered Thursday March 17 2005, 7:57 pm: Well, you couldn't have done anything. I mean, staring at something is like freaking normal! If he was mortified then like let him be, but like I guess you may say sorry for looking or whatever. [ lostsoul_forever's advice column | Ask lostsoul_forever A Question ]

punkrockprincess answered Thursday March 17 2005, 5:10 pm: You couldn't really have done anything. But I don't think you should bring it up in a conversation until a few more years to where he can laugh about it. If you don't, then you might make him feel emabrrassed and shy around you!
karenR answered Thursday March 17 2005, 4:40 pm: Nothing. I think you did the right thing by not mentioning it.It is a perfectly normal thing for boys that age and can be embarrassing for them.Just go on next time you see him as if nothing happened.
shake answered Thursday March 17 2005, 4:38 pm: exactly what you did. Or go HEY NICE BONER and totally dug it. His face would turn red and you could laugh as he ran his ass off trying to get away from you cuz hes really embarassed. [ shake's advice column | Ask shake A Question ]
EJ47 answered Thursday March 17 2005, 3:52 pm: Its perfectly natural! If he seems to kind of seem mores hy now around you, just explain to him that you know that it happens so freakishly at random times ( I'd know <_< ) and that there's nothing wrong with it! If he tihnk you'll blahblah about it, assure him that you won't do that either. That would be mean. ;3 But yes, just talk to him if he seems kind of quiet now. ^^ <3 EJ [ EJ47's advice column | Ask EJ47 A Question ]
HeLpFuLhUnNiE916 answered Thursday March 17 2005, 3:37 pm: I think you did everything right! You made him not feel embarassed at all, and that's really good! Next time you see him, just ask him why he ran off in such a hurry, that way he'll think you didn't notice, and everyone is happy in the end! LOL! I hope I helped!

rainbowcherrie answered Thursday March 17 2005, 3:33 pm: It's perfectly natural for him to have acted that way, it was an embarassing situation for him. You acted in exactly the right way, you didn't make a fuss or make fun of him, just pretended not to notice and that was good. If it happens again, act the same way and hopefully he wont get so embarassed. [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]
luv2swim109 answered Thursday March 17 2005, 3:12 pm: you should probobly just keep it kool and ask him why he ran off(pretend) so he'll think you didnt notice
charmed-cherry21 answered Thursday March 17 2005, 2:59 pm: The best thing to do would have been to whisper in his ear and say something about it but then don't make a big deal about it. But maybe you did do the right thing who knows. Whats done is done. I really do wish there was a 'delete' key in life and a 'rewind' button.
