A member asked:

Is it normal for a 13yr old boy to get an erection without thinking about sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The parts are designed to respond in that fashion & can actually form an erection in infants. The emergence of increasing testosterone production & the sex oriented daydreams that may begin to appear may bring out some embarrassing moments. Each kid is likely to face this & learn to deal with its unpredictable occurance.
