    She told you right, though. Have had a lot of medical personnel in my family, have heard the stories. It’s a biological thing that happens for reasons even the person with a boner can’t always explain. So long as you’re not being a problem with it, it’s just a part of the job, especially if they’re doing anything that involves interacting with sensitive areas.

    Especially sports-related. They have to deal with awkward teens getting physicals.

      For sure!

      I was a nurse’s assistant, giving baths to people. I had more than my share of erections happen, and I’m a big, hairy dude. Not exactly the typical fantasy figure even for guys that are into guys lol.

      Hell, I had a couple younger patients that I had to say the same thing to because they were really upset that it happened with a male caregiver.

      It’s still awkward as hell lol.
