Sexy classmate has me weak

Dear Pastor,

I am 16 years old and I like a girl who is in my class. She is very sexy. Other guys in my class know that I like her. She told me that she likes me too. Sometimes I get an erection when she leans over my desk and ask me to explain a matter to her. I have to try to hide myself from her, but one day she said you don't need to hide, I could see the bulge in your pants.

One day, one of our female teachers called on her to go to the board and to explain something to the class. She was looking so sexy, I had an erection. I do not know if that is normal.

I have been at home on many occasions doing my homework and I think of this girl and I get an erection. Sometimes I call her and tell her that she should send me pictures of herself.

My friends who are older told me that the same has happened to some of them. They say they wear certain pants with pockets that they can push their hands in their pockets and hold their penises down.

I have never had sex. I know I should not even be thinking about having sex. This girl is the only girl I know that turns me on and causes me to feel for sex. Would you tell me whether the experiences that I am having is normal. I really want to know.

Dear Teenage Boy,

Let me put your mind at ease. What is happening to you is normal. It is not unusual for a young man to have an erection if he sees a girl looking rather attractive. His imagination may go wild and then he finds himself having an erection.

Men are stimulated by what they see, women are stimulated by touch. I hope that what I have said will settle your mind and that you won't think that you are a bad guy after all.

Pastor
