Male Puberty Issues / Question
Published: April 23, 2002
Dear TeenHealthFX,
When I listen to the "FRONT ROW" (a local radio morning show), I often get aroused when the woman "Jen" talks about Romanian women. This gets me hard. Is it normal to be aroused by someone's voice? Someone I do not know?

Dear Normal To Be Aroused By Someone's Voice,
During the teenage years it is normal to get an erection at odd times and for what appears to be strange reasons. You are not alone in this, see TeenHealthFX's answer to Erection While Showering. While it could be her voice, it also may be what she is discussing that is causing your reaction. During puberty your hormones are racing. This is perfectly normal and in fact you may get a similar reaction at other unexpected times. In time your hormones will settle down and your erections will be more under your control.
