Hey,
I am going to be a sophomore in 2 weeks.. and in the spring I am going to join the swim team.. I don't know for sure.. but I THINK that we have to take showers, now I think I am bi.. and I dont want to get a boner in the showers!!! What should I do!? Also, I am uncut..
do you think anyone will care?

What should you do? Why, nothing of course.
I can assure you, in the beginning of the year there will be others that get erections also. It happens bro. Despite what you may think, the other boys will think nothing of it, and move on with showering.

And I'm assuming that 'Do you think anyone will care' question was directed at the 'Also, I'm uncut' statement.
And my answer is no, I don't think anyone will care. If you're in a primarily cut area, people may look as it's foreign to them, but no one should care.

You should join! Even if you have to take showers, it shouldnt matter. All of the people on the team are all teens and there should understand if anyone gets spontaneous boners. I bet that if you get a boner, then they will too, so there is nothing to worry about. (btw, my school has private showers for the people who play sports, so your school might also have private showers).

Anyways, you should join! There are so many fun things that sports teams do together! There are so many fun times I have had while on different high school sport teams! Either way, you should join the sport because you enjoy it! Don't be worried about what others might think, just go out there and have fun! Yea, you may have some embarassing moments, but you will have so much fun that you will forget! Swimming also gives you the exercise you need every day to stay healthy.

Go out and join the team, and always remember to have fun!

i agree with boylheadhere .. join otherwise u'll be missing out on what you enjoy

I mean all boys int he team will know that its normal to get boners and im sure they where in the same position as u when they started off.

If you get a boner just think of something else

You do what you want to do. And about the showers just don't look around and ignore an erection you get.

[Noobzilla]

People will probably just wear their bathing suits when they shower, you might not have to worry at all :D

Hey!

There's really nothing you can do to avoid erections in places like this. It's normal to get them especially when you're with other naked guys with you may found arousing but they will probably not think anything of it and since it is a personal environment, I highly doubt they'll start teasing you.

If you go in there thinking "man I'm gonna get a boner here," you probably will. Just be casual and enjoy yourself and you have nothing to worry about.

Have fun swimming :D

Most everyone get's a boner from time to time in the shower, so it shouldn't be a problem. If it is, then just try to think of something completely unrelated to sex. Cold showers seem to help with that too. Also, people in the U.S have a tendency to pick on people who are uncut, but after a week or so, they should get used to it. If you are really that worried about someone making fun of your foreskin, then just train it to stay back and no one will look closely enough to tell the difference.

The fear of a spontaneous erection really shouldn't stop you from doing something you want to do. That being said, it is a pretty understandable fear. There are some things you can do to prevent yourself from getting one, though.

1.) If you feel like you are about to get one, stop thinking about it immediately.

2.)That may be hard, so you could try to set up a hard algebraic problem in your head and solve it. That takes a lot of focus, and will remove focus from your penis, which will stop any erections.

3.)If math isn't your thing, try to recite the alphabet in your head backwards.

There is really nothing to be scared of. Sure, there might be a kid who makes fun of you for it, but the majority will be understanding, and a few , at times, will even get erections themselves.

if you are afraid of get an erection while your taking showers with boys just try to think of something else besides boys and getting an erection.Hope this helps
