Are you having some questions about a boner and need someone to clear the doubts? Read this article and get to know more about a boner. 

A boner is also referred to as an erection. It is an enlarged and stiff penis brought upon due to sexual excitement. According to Bryant (2004), boners occur involuntarily. Ladies and gentlemen are different in matters regarding sexual arousal. Chen et al. (2013) explained that anyone has to go through four main stages before engaging in sex, i.e., excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution, to climax. Read this article and find out more about a boner.

When a Man Gets Aroused 

 A guy in the excitement stage experiences an increased penis size due to the start of an erection.  In some rare cases, the nipples also get erect in this stage. The guy has a full erection with a rigid penis in the plateau stage. In the orgasm stage, fluid starts collecting at the penis' bub. According to Rowland & Gutierrez (2017), this is the peak of sexual excitement. When a guy cums, the penis contracts as he ejaculates. In the resolution phase, the penis resumes its flaccid state. After this phase, men cannot have consecutive ejaculation until they wait for some time to pass. The time taken to wait for a second erection depends on a man's health condition and fitness level. 

The Science of Boners 

According to Scruton (2006), a man is guided by his sexual desires. Having a boner starts with someone’s brain. The penis will only move after mental stimulation takes place. The brain then sends a chemical message to the penis and allows the blood vessels to relax. This causes the flow of oxygenated blood into the penis at high pressure, thus erecting it. Apart from the penis getting bigger after erection, it also needs to get harder. The process of a penis getting hard involves the hydraulic process brought by the testosterone hormone. For a man to get an erection, several body processes take place.  A complication with any of the body processes makes erection tough. 

Ways of Turning on a Guy

You can play a crucial role in turning a guy on and making him have a boner. You have to make sure the following 10 tips are followed carefully:

  • Send him a flirty text and let him of what you would do to him when you meet. 
  • Let him know what you love about him
  • Nibble on his ears and neck using your tongue and lips. These are sensitive erogenous zones of any gender.
  • You can wear clothes that reveal most of your body parts. For instance, you can wear a transparent night dress, sexy lingerie, or lace bodystocking with an open crotch. 
  • When on a date, tell him that you do not have underwear, and that will make his imaginations run wild.
  • Let him shop for your lingerie. Some men get a boner by seeing or touching ladies’ lingerie.
  • Masturbate in front of him using a sex toy if possible. Show him what you have, and that will turn him on.
  • Touch him on his sensitive spots such as the penis or testicles
  • Give him a slow, gentle massage. Use scented lubes with vagina scent and let it end happily.
  • Talk dirty, tell him what you expect from him to you. 

Things That Will Hinder a Man from Getting a Boner 

Men always experience difficulties in erection under some circumstances. For instance: 

Alcohol

Drinking too much alcohol leads to saturation of the blood. Blood is one of the factors that must work perfectly for an erection to happen. Since the blood is filled with alcohol, it means that blood with high pressure cannot enter the penis. Although the flow of blood to the penis will be initiated, the erection won’t be vigorous.  The degree of alcohol consumption is what affects erection. For example, moderate alcohol makes the body and mind relax; hence, a man can have a better erection. 

Nervous System

This is also one of the main body systems that affect the rate of erection. Fear, stress, and anxiety hinder erections. The emotions hold back the brain signals that are needed to let the blood vessels relax. It is a difficult cycle, and it can't be broken easily. Lack of an erection causes more stress making the cycle continue. 

The Bottom Line

Having a boner starts with someone's brain. The penis will only move after mental stimulation takes place. The brain then sends a chemical message to the penis and allows the blood vessels to relax. That causes oxygenated blood to flow into the penis at high pressure, leading to an erection. Apart from the penis getting bigger after erection, it also needs to get harder. The process of a penis getting hard involves the hydraulic process brought by the testosterone hormone. For a man to get an erection, several body processes take place. The processes involve the brain as the main masterpiece, blood vessels, hormones, nervous system, muscles, and emotions. A complication with any of the body processes involving the mentioned aspects makes erection tough.
