It is sometimes enough to analyze certain parts of the body of others to grasp what they want to tell us, without them having to open their mouths. Eyes, hands, posture are the best known parts. But another organ is also expressed in men… And it often intervenes in inopportune but important moments. Does the “Engagement boner” speak to you?
A stressed man cannot really hide it… And it is not because you know it by heart that you will detect it! You just have to lower your eyes a little and direct your gaze towards his crotch to understand him. In a romantic staging, it is the gaze that speaks instead of the mouth. In a less idyllic scenario, it is therefore the penis of gentleman who expresses himself for and despite him. This phenomenon, the Anglo-Saxons gave it a name:“Emotional boner” (understand the “emotional sapling” in French). In the context of a marriage proposal, the name becomes more precise: it is then a “Commitment boner”.
But what exactly is it? Concretely, when the man proposes, he has an unexpected erection. It is an original marriage proposal, of course; but contrary to what one might think, many brides and grooms have already experienced it when they put their knees on the ground! So how to explain it?

What causes “Engagement boner”?
If some people think it’s sexual… It’s not entirely true. The erection is indeed due to a experienced excitement by the future fiancé, but this excitement did not not necessarily erotic connotation. It is linked to a mix of emotions diverse and varied (stress, fear, joy), which itself causes secretion of a cocktail of hormones and ultimately leads to this involuntary erection. To be more precise, sexologists explain that these are essentially the adrenaline And dopamine which are at the origin of these spontaneous erections. Secreted by the brain in a natural way when man finds himself in a situation, they come under the reflex bodily. Indeed, faced with the excess of emotions felt by the future husband, the brain, overstimulated and confused, misinterprets the situationlikens it to a carnal context, prepares the body for sexual activity and ultimately causes said erection.
Given its biological origin, the phenomenon is therefore much more frequent than you might think: any slightly stressful situation is likely to cause a Emotional boner in the man concerned. During an investigation, our counterparts in Cosmopolitan UK thus discovered that 52% of men surveyed had already experienced onewhen asking for the hand of their sweetheart or more generally, at any other inopportune moment.
