I just turned 13 and I keep geting erections for long periods of time,
some last 1 minute and some last 3 hours (I think I never really checked how long) I get them a lot! and it sucks! im not sure if its just puberty, or im just not eating right or somthing. what should I do

I herd once that if you have an erection for longer than 4 hours you should go to the ER. what happens if you have an erection longer than 4 hours?

well if you have an erection for longer than for hours and your on medicine you need to seek help but...if you have an erection for about four hours and your not on medicine then thats called gifted my friend hahaha it could possably be puberty it was the same way for my boyfriend and my brother so it might not be anything bad ...also it might be happening when your relaxed or happy ..think about it those are some reasons and ways you could get one ... if you really want to know just go to your doctor and he will tell you whats going on

Ther are chemicals in our body called hormones and they often cause us to start to get erections. Are you looking at dirty pictures? Is that a part of what starts the erections.

How far along into puberty are you. Imean do you just have a litle are no hair or are you fully developed? If you know what that means.

Do you get erections in the w morning when you wake up?

When you pee do they go away?

Do you et them in the after noon? are these the ones you are spealking about.

WHta do you think about when you get these erections?

DO you think of sex? Or what?

ARe you a conservative perosn who thinks having erectio s is not polite?

HAs this happened fro a long time ( these long held erections) or just reciently.
Are you heavy or thin or regular>

Do you have much of a guy down there we mean is he a 13 year olds guy or a 17 year old's guy?

Do you understand what happens to make you et an erection mechanically down there?
If you want us to explain it aks us

The penins is filled with a special type of flesh that is able to have blood in and around it in a large amount or not have that blood there. There is always a littel blood there. It is always coming in and going out. But when certaint hings happen either in your mind or your body signals get sent to the blood vessels coming out of the body and they are clsed either tightly or some what tightly and then a whole set of things go on with chemicals being released into your blood and things go on in your mind and your body.

Few Guys have any idea what is going on. they jjst know if they think about girls or what ever is sexy to them they can get it to start to grow or if the get touched there in certain ways it can make it grow.
Why does it get smaller after a while?

DO you understand what a wet dream is?
Have you had any yet?

The thing about four hours is that well young men and most men after they finish using their pen*s for what it gets hard so they can do with it what it is for, then thingshappen to let it get smaller again. Many guys wish it woudl stay hard longer. They like to have it that way.
and when some guys get older their guy wont get hard any more and some are unhappy about it so they get durgs to make it get hard. '

When it is hard it is filled wioth blood. IN most cases it gets harder at first and then gets a littel less hard and blood is flowing through it regularly and tha blood is circulating as it should in their whole body.

MAny older guys who are having trouble with it are having trouble becasue theey have circulatino troubles in their body other places besides down there.
If a guy is using a drug for that and it gets hard and stays that way for more thaan four hours that is a sign that something is wrong with their circulation. ANd then they need to get medical attention .

YOu are 13. Unless you have heart toruble or circulatino troubles then if you get a b*ner andit stays that way for a while that does not necessarily mean there is anything wroing with your health. It may be that your body is just starting to figure out how to handle these signals that get sent by hormones for things like this to happen.
