Default Physical attraction- Guys only

I know this may sound kind of weird, but are there times when you guys see someone you're attracted by, think aroused thoughts, but don't experience a physical erection? I've been on a beach vacation, and while I've seen and felt attracted to quite a few guys, I haven't really had an erection.

Yes, this happens all of the time. Same with girls though for me.

It's fairly rare for physical attraction to automatically = an erection after the first flush of puberty.

I would be walking around with an erection all day if this was the case.

I used to worry about that too cause when I was young I'd get an erection from looking at a guy, then when that stoped I started questioning my sexuality even more...but I learned that as I got older it usually required some kind of touch in addition to attraction to get me up. =P

Yes, it is very possible to find someone attractive and appreciate how beautiful they are without getting an erection. If I got an erection every time I saw someone attractive, I'd never leave my house.

I'm 42. It happens more often than not these days. But I still recognize the internal signs. I just figure by now, my dick can tell if something's going to result from seeing this hot guy. I liken it to a dog who originally jumps off the couch and runs to the door every time the front door opens. Butas it gets older, it sort of says "Enh, I'll get up if there's a pizza involved."

If I got an erection from every time I saw someone attractive (both M&F), I'd pass out from a loss of blood.

This^

But no, attraction doesn't always have to be sexual, even if all that's going on is good looks.
