In many cases, it is just an adrenaline rush. Even people who are indeed a fan of horror movies will enjoy the adrenaline rush that feels like you are trying to escape something scary.
When your blood rush to counter the flight situation you are viewing on your screen, the adrenaline and cortisol levels spike.
Blood is forced to the small capillaries heading to the eyes, heart and penis, per an article titled “Why Do Horror Movies Make You Horny? You May Be Sexy Scared.”
As your heart rate speeds up and sweating increases, it may trigger an arousal and erection, per Refinery29 website publication.
But what if instead of getting goosebumps and chicken skin… you get an erection instead? Yeah, some men have confessed that they had an erection out of the blue in the middle of watching a horror movie.
Some of them, thankfully, were watching alone. All the erection did was surprise them but nothing more. But some men said that it happened during a gathering with friends so it felt really awkward and was so difficult to hide.
- Unexpected erection during a family gathering
One guy shared an unnerving story about how he suddenly got an unexpected erection during a family trip. Well, what was super awkward about it was that he was in the car with the rest of the family members.
He was seated in the back seat and as the car was moving through the beautiful scenery of nature, the guy opened the car window to enjoy the spring breeze.
Little did he know the beauty and pleasant feeling he got from the countryside environment would get him an erection out of the blue. He was confounded and didn’t know how to hide his erection.
It was especially embarrassing because he was wearing loose-fitting underpants, so as expected, the other family members seated at the back could see what was going on with his little brother.
Needless to say, the guy felt super embarrassed and didn’t know how to explain himself.
- Erection that made people think I could be gay—I’m not
Another guy shared a really funny story that would haunt him for the rest of his life.
He works at a certain company and one day his chief of the department made a very motivating speech in front of all members of the department.
Naturally, when your boss delivers a motivational speech, you would feel… motivated, right? You would feel inspired and moved by the speech coming from a powerful person.
And yes, this man did feel that, and so did the rest of his co-workers who listened to that amazing speech. But strangely, this man’s body was behaving differently: he suddenly got a massive erection.
This all happened as he was feeling super motivated by the speech from his chief. It was super awkward and some co-workers saw him. After that, they thought he was gay and had felt something towards the chief.

What would you feel immediately upon entering a fine dining restaurant? Probably awe at the décor? Probably expecting to savour really quality dishes? Of course, all of that could be quite enthralling in itself.
But would you actually get an erection upon entering a fine dining restaurant? Well, maybe the adrenaline rush has something to do with it.
But one man really shared a story where he suddenly got an erection when he was at an Italian fine dining restaurant. It was totally out of the blue and he didn’t know what to do with himself.
There are many reasons to this sudden erection. The aura notwithstanding, the place may have prepared delicious aphrodisiac meals and the smell tweaked the customer’s feel-god hormones.
A Healthline article titled “Increase Your Libido with These 10 Natural Tips,” mentions various foods. They include wines, shrimps, chocolates, and fruit salads.
Fine dining restaurants serve these meals in an inviting environment, which may have triggered the man’s sensual senses in the right way.
Luckily, he was quickly seated and so he managed to avoid all eyes that would have been on his crotch.
He immediately ordered some wine to calm his nerves and managed to have a pleasant evening with his girlfriend. Needless to say, he was really letting himself go that night.
- Getting hard in the middle of a fight

Hmm… that has got to be rather awkward. And yes, one man has shared his absolutely awkward experience with getting an erection out of the blue whilst arguing with his girlfriend.
He is not sure what caused it but maybe the adrenaline rush, maybe it was the pressure, maybe all of that contributed to a surge of blood flow to his nether.
So, in the middle of facing his girlfriend and arguing with her, he suddenly showed a huge erection down there and they were both astounded by that.
Needless to say, it was awkward as could be and the fight kind of ended there because of the sheer awkwardness. They still didn’t speak to each other that night, though.
