Ok, im the person who asked whats the difference between cum, masturbation, and ...ejactulation, but what is an erection? is it pretty much the same thing???
Thanks alot, for all the answers i've recieved, and will revcieve!
An erection is when a boy or man's penis fills with blood and becomes hard so they can have sex or when aroused. I hope that helped and no, you shouldn't feel dumb or scared to consult us about this stuff. better you get solid and safe, correct info here than not.
Incidentally, I'm not sure how old you are and whether you're a young teen or pre-teen. At either rate it would be in your best interest to purchase and read Lynda Madaras's books what's Happening To My Body? For Girls and What's Happening To My Body?For Guy. It's a wealth of info on puberty, sex, sexuality and will answer all your questions. Be sure to buy both and read both as they're very different and you need to know stuff about both sexes.
I think you should get those and then talk with your parents about anything confusing or concerning you about sex also use them as a guide to asking questions in sex education classes too. There's a lot you seem to need to know about that you haven't been told or haven't been able to ask. This should take care of that for you.
Let me know if this helps you and what you thought of the books and if that answered your concerns. You can always pop me a note to my inbox if you need more help or a list of books designed for teens on this subject. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]

Basically, an erect penis is a hard penis. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
