Hormones race during puberty, which can lead to spontaneous erections. It is normal for a boy to get an erection without having sexual thoughts. These unwanted erections can be embarrassing, and boys usually try to hide their erection by sitting down, untucking their shirt or holding a textbook in front of their crotch area. Ignoring a spontaneous erection by thinking nonsexual thoughts, singing a song or employing some other tactic for distraction can also make it disappear.
