In 2013, 81.1 percent of U.S. mothers said they started out breast-feeding their baby. That's up from 75 percent in 2008, and 70 percent in 2000, according to the CDC.
[...] 52 percent of U.S. mothers said they were still breast-feeding their infants when the babies were 6 months old, and 30 percent said they were still breast-feeding when the babies reached 1 year.
How should society handle breastfeeding in public and the workplace? Should there be any restrictions on the age of the child?
Breastfeeding has obvious benefits for a child's development, but breast milk is also a fluid of the body that can carry disease.

I can definitely sympathize. Along the lines of what AC posted, perhaps try different styles of undergarment.
The other thing I might be able to offer, if you were aggressively mutilated at birth, and I have no idea whether this will help somebody who has a male level of testosterone or not… all I know is that after switching to a different anti-androgen I began to have unwanted erections again, and this was the answer.
Perhaps try an artificial foreskin. No need to get fancy and buy one of those $100 devices or go hog wild about foreskin restoration (personally I think it's hooey since there's more to a foreskin than just skin). Just something to protect the part of the glans that's going to be in frequent contact with clothing. With boxers, that would obviously be the top half. (Haven't worn briefs since being a kid.) Something decent but disposable can be made with $3 medical tape.
I'm completely out on a limb for that one, though. I discussed it with a guy friend I'm very close to but he didn't seem interested and doesn't seem to have complaints about unwanted erections.
I'm honestly wondering if this is some side effect of circumcision where way too much tissue is removed or what (as if any amount were acceptable). It's definitely something nobody wants to talk about. But thankfully, here we are on the internet!

That may well be your most solipsistic post ever.
But I totally think taking an anti-androgen would solve all of Francis's problems.

And this may be your stupidest reply to one of my comments ever.
