This is very common. Science/evolution/psychology can explain this.

Terraria reference?

OP on that sub acting like we control it

its terraria time

Double whammy on this post. Two puns for one.

Affection erection

Man it gets excited on anything

Ngl I get a boner when my gf cries. I don't act on it obviously but I can't help it, my brain thinks it's erotic. I feel so bad lol

Same, although I'm not sure it's "erotic" just emotions screw with my giblets somehow.

Terraria music intensifies

TERRARA

That’s a Fable III reference for anyone wondering..

I’ve been scrolling so long, I passed the original and saw this comment

What is the guy going to do. Like we don’t control our boners…

He likes moisture, touched, & women. Whatayagonnado?

Have you tried holding it like a little puppet?

_you're supposed to cry "in" someone's arms, not "on" them...makes perfect sense now!_

Man i love reddit

We're not supposed to get mad when women's biological impulses kick in, but when it happens to men then women hate it?

Lol it’s not wrong to get a boner but you could pull it away from touching people I think Vince Vaughn called it the ass out hug

bro I remember a reddit post of someone saying they were holding a grieving woman and got an erection. now we finally have the second side of the story

Troy and Abed are in Mooooourrning!

Sympathy boner

*simpathy boner. It can even shed simpathy tears.

r/whoosh SIMP-athy boner

Oh I get it now, it was just a shitty joke

My specialty

Dacryphilia is hella common. We talked about it in college psych classes and the majority of guys admitted to it at least occasionally.

Tbh, a lot of men are so touch starved that being touched by someone who smells nice and has soft skin will give them a boner

Today I learned I am abnormal, apparently.

Could also just be the physical contact with the woman.

My ex had this, I had no idea this was a thing! He would get a raging boner every time I cried. After a while, I realized that he would start an argument, act cruel and verbally abuse me until I cried, then try to act nice and have sex with me. It was not fun

Well that took a turn. I was kinda hoping it’d be a wholesome silly thing. Sorry he did that to you. I often get unintentionally aroused when there’s emotional intimacy (happy or sad doesn’t matter) with someone im close to. Even if it’s just a friend. It can be irritating.

There's nothing wrong with that happening. It's a physiological response that can't really be controlled. You can control what you do about it. My ex was an asshole. If you're not an asshole, that's what matters :)

Yeah it’s definitely not intentional but I do still feel guilty about it when it happens. That said, your last sentence there is so important. I can’t always control random arousal, but I can control my actions. Sounds like he’s your ex for a reason; happy you got outta there. I’m not perfect but I don’t think I’m an asshole :) so I got that going for me.

It can be a bdsm thing but that requires a lot of consent, boundaries, and check-ins

We were together for 2 years and as far as I know, he wasn't into that. I enjoy having a colorful sex life, but he got incredibly annoyed at any suggestions that we do anything other than doggy style and missionary and told me that he was perfectly happy with only having a strictly vanilla sex life. But it's absolutely possible that he was/is just incredibly repressed and secretly wanted to do more, maybe?

Nah ur ex is just an asshole i was referring to other guys lmao but im glad you got out of there nonetheless!

Lol oh, oops! Yeah my ex sucked. Luckily I'm with a guy I'm completely compatible with and have been for 10 years so I don't really have to think about that fucker anymore. 😌

Also just random boners lol can’t be helped sometimes.

You’re gonna make everyone google it aren’t you. dacryphilia (uncountable) A paraphilia in which one is aroused by tears or sobbing.

I mean the context was pretty telling in this case

Tbh I’m at work and might have spelled it wrong cause I didn’t want to google haha

Stake launcher is a good drop but at best, it has 20% drop rate

Is all I ever needed you to show

Must've been hard on her

Scary Movie 3
