Getting rid of an unwanted erection
According to one NHS health expert, Dr. Karan Rajan, who is now making part of his living through social media with more than 4.4 million followers, having too long of an erection could be cause for concern. He explains that:
Everyone knows guys get random boners, many even do this three to five times a night in their sleep and this is known as nocturnal penile tumescence.
And added:
You've probably been told that you can stop your soldier saluting by having a cold shower or tucking your flesh gherkin into your waist band, or by thinking about poor old grandma.
Flex another muscle
But as it turns out, the doctor said the best way of calming down your member when it's a little too excited in an inappropriate situation is to turn theattention to the blood flow of another muscle. He said:
Flex a muscle. When you tense any muscle, particularly a large muscle like in your thighs, the blood from the engorged tissues the corpus cavernous and spongiosum would be redirected to the flexed muscle.
Before adding:
Tensing may also help you to focus on something else and when your mind is distracted you will see your excalibur turn into a soggy hot dog.

Dr. Rajan goes on to explain in the video that the worst scenario of an unwanted erection that he witnessed in his career was of a man that took one too many viagra pills. The man in question ended up with a dangerously prolonged erection that needed immediate medical attention. In these cases, getting rid of the erection is necessary to avoid inducing further complications.
