142. You needed google to understand what "pseudo-spontaneous" means?

Wed Apr 2, 2014, 07:24 PM

Apr 2014

This isn't a medical term I'm referring to. It is a term I constructed because I'm proficient in English and know how to use "pseudo" correctly.

I'm countering the premise that these types of erections are spontaneous by saying they are pseudo-spontaneous. In other words, they might appear to be spontaneous, especially to people like you who have a vested interest in maintaining the false narrative that they are, but they are actually the product of psychic stimulation. To put that another way, since it's become apparent I need to hold your hand and walk you through this, the boy has become sexually aroused after seeing someone or something and that has caused an erection.

Your argument that boys are just persistently afflicted by uncontrollable erections is a false reality. It simply isn't true. They can and do control how and when they become sexually aroused because they aren't stupid animals like you seem to want to believe.
