A member asked:

I've been getting random 30-40% erections during school lately. never full ones in school though. why is this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The same reason...: The reason a high school student (and even before high school) has spontaneous partial or full erections at various times of day is because he is a normal male in puberty. It is the same reason that he gets more muscular, a lower voice, and more body hair.
