This experience was strange to me because I'm out of shape overweight dad bodied, so I'm now just generally confused about what was happening.

Warning that this story is real and doesn't end in any sexual fantasies.

I wore some new gym shorts and was commando on the rowing machine, nothing was hanging out, but there was a clear imprint on my thigh. A woman I'd consider out of my league hops on the machine next to me and I notice her looking at me.

Meanwhile I'm dying on this rowing machine trying not to have a heart attack from my first cardio session in a while. I notice she takes her phone out and it looks like she's taking a selefie, but I'm already in my head thinking maybe she's taking a picture.

So I get off the rowing machine and take a breather, then hop on the stationary bike, which I realize is also not great for these shorts. Maybe 5 mins go by and the same woman gets on the bike next to me, there were several open bikes not directly next to me, she even sat on the side that would give a better view.

I look over, she smiles, I reciprocate and go back to trying to focus on the exercise. I see her in my peripheral playing with her hair, looking in my direction several times, boom I have an erection like 80% it's got nowhere to go clearly printing on my leg. I'm in denial for a second and then I notice her take her phone out.

Taking a photo when I'm not hard, that's her problem, taking a photo when I am hard could be my problem. I decide to wipe my forehead with my sweat towel and toss it onto my thigh for some modesty. About 5 mins go by and I decide to just bail and head out feeling confused and perverted.

Don't judge me for not trying to chat her up. I don't want to be on somebody's tiktok about men being creeps in the gym.

Questions: 1. What was happening? 2. Throw away the shorts or buy more? 3. Wwyd?
