Question
Is there a way to hide an erection you might get while dancing with someone you like or make it go away?
Answer
The long and the short of it is...No. Erections are a natural reaction to stimulation (physical or mental) and close or slow dancing can cause an erection. You might keep your distance, redirect your thoughts and wear loose clothing. In general there is no way to 'hide' an erection when you are in close physical contact.
