Guys, what do you do when you're talking to a girl...

pitch a tent?

does it mean what i think it means?:?

Put your hand in your pocket and hold it down. Or go back in the pool. Or stop freeballing while you're wearing sweat pants.

Mmmmm hmmmmm :)

Wait patiently until I'm over 16 years of age and those things don't happens anymore :P If it's a serious problem though, wear baggy sweaters.... What?Setsa

Well, you can avoid this problem by focusing on the conversation, not what she looks like. As an added benefit, this can help you avoid making a stupid decision and pursuing someone who really isn't for you.

If we're friends I'd just go ahead and adjust it; it might be a little embarrassing for me, but any friend of mine would understand. :P

If it's a cute girl I've just met recently, on the other hand, that would be awkward... I think I'd just shift my position so it's hopefully less noticeable and wait it out. :P

Sensible rationale is the best kind. :P

run away quickly. hide.

Sometimes it is a mere by product of hormonal imbalances though. Setsa

I suppose that could be true. Most of the time, though, I'd imagine that it's just males being males. Doesn't usually take much with a young man, either...

I'm 21 and I still get "spontaneous" tents from time to time, and I have done so ever since I hit puberty...

Is there something wrong with me? :o

Think of dead puppies

I've never had that happen to me before.

lol this is hilarious. Can't say I've ever had this problem myself. A few years back, this hot girl was sitting on my lap in a crammed car. You know how cars tend to vibrate when they're going fast? Well that combined with 100lbs of smoking hot sitting right on my ding dong, and things were starting to... rise. I had to use every last bit of willpower and distraction technique to keep that thing down. Some tips: think of your grandma, think of an old man, think about how much life/school/job sucks, think of something really funny, start telling a funny joke, don't look at her rubbing her arse on your crotch.F1_2004

Oh lawd... been there done that. So bad and so good at the same time. It's just wonderfully terrible.

That's never happened to me. Does it happen to you at random times when you're not talking to a girl? Like say you're just sitting here typing on Gamespot - does it happen? Or you're standing alone at the bus stop. Does it happen there? Like the other guy said, there could be hormonal issues at play here that make it uncontrollable, but by and large, I think this has mostly to do with mental discipline.

It really isn't a big deal. But this guy says he's embarrassed about it, and frankly it's a lot easier to simply avoid the problem in the first place than it is to hide it after it's happened, so that's the best advice I can give him. At the very least, it'll cut down on the unwanted tent-pitching to not focus (consciously or otherwise) on the fact that you're talking to a female, even if it doesn't eliminate it completely. Experience will tend to nullify the natural impulse, too.

I doubt it. Doesn't happen to me, but apparently it happens to others.

She probably won't notice unless you've got something the size of a pool noodle in your pants or you're wearing spandex pants. and even if she does notice, if she's mature she'll just get, at most, a quizzical look on her face to which you can reply "pants are rubbing me the wrong way" and then you can change the subject.XilePrincess

but I do :P

also wow I need to meet these mature minded women

wow im not sure i ever got a.."pitched a tent" while talking to a girl. but i did get one in grade 6. this girl gave me a big hug and wasnt letting go for a good 5 mins. thats when i "pitched a tent". i made sure she felt itRevolution316

honestly?

"My balls itch, sorry..."

*pretend to scratch balls while carefully placing tent "pole" in non-revealing position*

Women appreciate honesty, especially honesty that reflects your manliness. Rawr!

*cant do it with boxers, though, that tent pole will find a way out! Boxer briefs FTW!!!!!!!!!!

Well, that's easy to fix. Go to the bathroom before it gets to that point. :P

Honestly, that happens to me too. The body's natural response to trying to prevent you from wetting yourself... but at least it's easily avoided, and I can't recall a time when I've had it happen in a compromising place.
