Flex the muscles in your thighs for 30 seconds or more. This will draw the blood into your thighs and get rid of your erection. If it doesn't work immediately, keep flexing and use it alongside another method to get rid of it. The cold water from a shower will reduce your erection. If you aren't at home and can't take a shower, try pressing something cold against your crotch, like a cold can of soda. Cooling is used in hospitals to remove an unwanted erection that lasts longer than 4 hours. Sometimes a full bladder will cause you to have an erection. This is especially common in the morning when you first wake up. Urinating may help you get rid of your erection. If you're having trouble peeing, a warm shower or bath can sometimes help you urinate. A full bladder presses against the sacral nerve, which is why you get an erection. Light exercise like a jog or bike ride may draw blood away from your erection and cause it to subside. If you're too embarrassed to go outside because of your erection, you can do jumping jacks or squats in your house. Over time, your erection will just naturally go away. If you have the choice, excuse yourself to a secluded place until it finally goes down. If you're in a public place, you can excuse yourself to the bathroom until it goes away. Concentrating on a math equation or a sport will take your mind off sexual thoughts and can help you get rid of your erection. Focus as hard as you can on an assignment or a game that you have coming up to take your mind off of sexual thoughts. You can also think of something that you find disgusting or gross, like someone throwing up, to stop your sexual thoughts. Pinching yourself may take your concentration off your erection and into the pain that you feel. Pick a spot on your arm and pinch it until your erection begins to go down. If you're at home, masturbating will get rid of your erection. Excuse yourself to a private place and make sure you have a towel or napkin to clean up after you're done. Rub your penis until you achieve an orgasm. After masturbating, your erection should subside. Do not masturbate in public.

Summary: Flex your thighs to draw blood away from your erection. Put something cold on your erection. Urinate. Exercise. Go to somewhere secluded until it goes away. Concentrate on something non-sexual. Pinch yourself. Masturbate.


If a stream or river runs through a paddock space, it can provide a source of water for your cattle. You can construct an access ramp, so that cows can access the water easier without polluting it. Or, you can use a siphon system to fill up water tanks from this source.  Another alternative is to install an animal-operated pasture pump. This is a water pump that is triggered by a cow’s nose pressing against the lever in the water tank. Then, the water is automatically siphoned up from the river to fill the tank. If you are using a freshwater spring or river as a water source, it’s important to clean it out periodically to ensure that it doesn’t become contaminated and spread disease. As a general rule, cattle need daily access to between 1-2 gallons of fresh water per 100 pounds of body weight. This means that you’ll want at least 1 tank per paddock that can hold the minimal amount of daily water for the animals in that space. Pastured cattle can survive by primarily eating grass. However, if your cattle are primarily in a dry-lot or if the weather is poor, then supplementing with grain or hay is a good idea. Talk with your vet about which grain or hay to use and how much to feed your cattle.  Use a hay rack or clean feed container in a paddock or barn to give your cattle hay or grain. Wet, moldy food can actually sicken your animals. If the hay or grain gets wet, discard it immediately. Feeding your cattle grain helps you to form a positive relationship with them, too. They’ll associate you with food and are more likely to come to your calls. Cattle can’t store salt in their system, which means that they need to ingest it daily for health. Fill up a feeder with a fortified trace mineral salt mixture and place it near where your cattle sleep at night whether in a paddock or barn. In addition, place at least 1 rock salt and mineral-blend block in each paddock.  You can purchase these salt products at your local feed store or even online through an agricultural supply company. As a general rule, a 1,300-1,400 pound cow will need between 35-45 grams of salt per day. If you have 100 cows, then you’ll need about a 55 pound bag of mineral salt mixture each week. If your cows balk at the taste of the salt mixture, try stirring in some dried molasses to improve the flavor. Your vet will be able to tell you which vaccinations are suggested for your cattle. Some shots you may be able to give on your own, but others will require a vet visit. It’s also important to monitor your dry-lot cattle especially closely, as they are more prone to illnesses, such as pneumonia.  A dry-lot is a fenced area that is free from grass. Most cattle owners rotate their animals between dry-lots, grassed areas, and enclosures. Dry-lot cattle often suffer from respiratory illnesses caused by the dust in the air. Cattle vaccinations can help to protect your animals from diseases, such as blackleg or Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD). Monitor the health of your bulls closely during breeding season, as they can injure one another in the process of competition for breeding rights.
Summary: Supply fresh water for your cattle. Supplement their diet with feed. Provide a source of salt. Work with a livestock vet to monitor your herd’s health.
