I have been trying to stop masturbating recently and one issue I kept facing was random daytime erections. Morning erections do not bother me much because they usually go away on their own. The daytime ones are different and usually happen because of accidental touch random thoughts or seeing something triggering.
What actually helped me was using a hand gripper. Whenever I feel an erection starting I squeeze the hand gripper hard for about 40 to 50 reps. Almost every time the erection fades pretty quickly.
My thinking is that erections stay because blood is temporarily held in the penis. When you suddenly do intense physical effort your body switches into fight or flight mode. That reduces arousal shifts focus and causes the erection to go down.
This is not medical advice just something that worked for me so I thought I would share.

I always held those grip trainers the other way around, I find holding it that way around means my pinky doesn’t have a good grip
I think it’s just because you’re keeping your hand busy while you’re otherwise aroused.
Masturbating is healthy. Jesus man.

This is peak r/lostredditors but apparently squeezing your thighs together as tight as you can will do the trick 🤷♂️
You’re describing the side effects of hormonal development or just good cardiovascular health. It’s not a deviant condition to be suppressed, it’s normal physiology.
Ps flexing your quads does the same thing and much quicker.
