How to get rid of an erection?

Here are some practical ways regarding how to get rid of an unwanted erection:

1. Distract yourself by thinking about something else, like a challenging math problem or a tedious task you need to do. Avoid thinking about anything arousing.
2. Shift your position to remove any stimulation from clothing or movement. If possible, place a hand in your pocket and gently reposition the erection to help conceal it.
3. Practice meditation and breathing exercises. Breathe slowly and focus on your breath to relax your mind and body. Repeat a calming word in your head if your mind wanders.
4. Take a cold shower or bath. The cold temperature can help decrease blood flow to the penis and make the erection go away. However, this may not be practical in many situations.
5. Flex a muscle for about 30 seconds. This redirects blood flow to the muscles and can help end the erection.
6. Go for a short walk or do some light exercise. Moving around helps divert blood flow to other parts of the body.
7. Wait it out calmly. Most erections will go away on their own within a few minutes if you avoid stimulation and don’t stress about it.

Remember, erections are a normal bodily function and are not something to be ashamed of. If an erection lasts longer than 4 hours or is painful, seek medical attention immediately as it could be a sign of a condition called priapism.
