Today, I realised that my boyfriend gets a boner every time I cry. FML

Hollzbananza tells us more.

To answer some of the questions... Firstly, it's not like I cry every day.. we have been together for almost 4 years so he's seen me cry quite a bit over time. It's easy to notice when he's sitting in front of me or hugging me to console me. And if we're all being honest, sometimes it's just obvious that someone has a boner. My initial reaction was to be shocked and angrily ask if he likes to see me in pain but it's kind of hilarious when I'm not actually upset and crying. I agree that I don't think it's because he's trying to take advantage of me. Boners can have a mind of their own, and it could be an intimacy thing I guess since he's caring and always comforts me when I cry. Who knows... Thanks for the laughs, I enjoyed reading the comments :)

how much did you have to cry to figure that out?

That happened with me and my ex. I never really asked him about it. Except for once when I asked "Do you get a boner when all girls cry?" to which he said "Only when you cry" and then we had sex [I was upset and crying about something unrelated to his boner]

That is the weirdest thing I've ever heard of, leave him immediately that's not normal at all

holding hands will do the job for me we all got our fetishes

That's exceptionally creepy as studies show most men's testosterone lowers when inhaling near women crying. Some kind of pseudo-pheromonal response.

Omg my boyfriend also gets a boner when I cry!! I think it's pretty funny since I always catch him.

I think you need to have a serious talk with him about what's appropriate to get aroused by and what isn't. Also, add that you really do not appreciate that. Best of luck OP

Well, he can't control it and it doesn't mean he wants sex. There is something arousing about emotional intimacy, not to mention that it you cry on his shoulder or he physically comforts you, the physical contact triggers arousal as well. Ultimately, an erection isn't a sexual advance.

I read this wrong the first time. I thought it read "every time my boyfriend gets a boner, I cry"
