OP's bf was caught..... he's boned.

dude how are you getting thumbed down that was hilarious

You just made my life.

Stopped me from cutting.

Yeah, this situation must be hard for OP to handle.

This joke would be even funnier if the FML also involved OP boyfriend jerking off to her crying.

#1 Made me think of the American dad episode where roger makes the saddest movie ever.

you win the internet today

I have xD

it's not that uncommon. my husband does, I've seen several Reddit threads about it too. general consensus seems to be guys like the vulnerability or they feel like protectors or they think it's cute. my husband thinks I'm adorable when I cry.

Doesn't sound too far out there to have an unintended physical reaction to the testosterone release caused by protective feelings, especially in an intimate setting.

Crying girls are cute! Expecially if its a over-joyous cry.

Some of us just like it when girls cry. Mmmmmm. Deliciously salty tears.

Happy crying? Sad crying? Ugly crying? WE NEED ANSWERS! So many questions. So little time.

it took a couple of years before I completely made the connection. Mainly because I don't cry a LOT, but over time (almost 4 years) it got a bit obvious. It generally happens when I'm crying because we're in a huge argument.

Well, I can think of an explanation that is way less disturbing. Because getting an erection is also a response to stimuli, it could be that you cuddle him for comfort and he can't help but getting a physical reaction to that. I know I've been in situations where I had to comfort the girl who was in tears and noticed some growth. I then repositioned myself so she wouldn't notice it, because she might take it the wrong way. I am in no way getting aroused by crying, but pressing bodies against eachother sometimes works.

ya

He kept saying ,"it's so hard to watch you cry". * hugs her for comfort with a huge boner *

I'm thinking she was lying on his lap and felt something poke her head

It happens to me all the time. Not because I like seeing her sad but because she always presses her boobs against me and I unconsciously get one.

Ha, the boobs thing is a perfectly reasonable explanation actually, not every man is hiding some horrifying kink.

my husband does this as well. he told me.

Took the words right out of my mouth

Well, tell that to the crazy woman and the police officer who tackled me today while I was innocently walking. In a playground. Near a bunch of kids. Wiggling my bag of candy. Adjusting my mustache. Trying to locate my tinted van.
