Icepack/cold shower: The fastest way to acheive detumesecence is to apply ice or cold waterto the genitals. Otherwise temporarily leave the stimulating situation, i.e. Go to the bathroom.

Focus : Trying to consciously focus on what one is doing rather than thinking about it can help. I've heard in some cultures men tie a string around the genitalia & thread it into their pockets. When unwanted arises, the string is pulled & its suppose to get rid of it! do not recommend this, but this illustration helps place this perpetual problem into perspective. Cooling & tensing the muscles can help.
