A member asked:

My penis is erected sometimes without any reason . is it a problem? and is it bad to keep the underwear and the clothes (pressing on testicles) then ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It happens: The system is wired to erect and it will do so occasionally awake or asleep on its own timetable. It can happen in early childhood, but is more of a predictable event in late adolescence. Learn to live with it. It has nothing to do with how or what you wear for underclothes.
