How much wood...? (adult content)

Can I answer even though I don't have the all-important bit? From my experience waaaay back in high school, it took maybe ten minutes for things to, ahem, calm down. I only have that one time to go from, so hopefully you'll get an average from the other posters. I'd think you're correct about it varying.

It also depends on the pants/trousers he's wearing.

Jeans that are a little tighter in that area, and you aren't going anywhere until the localized swelling has gone down and you'd need a strategic cushion.

But looser pants, say something with a pleat or two in front, and you could careflly stand and immediately place a hand in a pocket (depending on the direction of leaning) and cover it up.

That said, if a Dad is one of the returning parents, he'll know immediately what's been going on, because he'll have likely dealt with the same situation and will see the expression of the kid and know what that means.

Mmmm.... I suppose in the interest of story research I can share a rather embarrassing fact.
The guy I dated my senior year and afterwards (eventually engaged, and then we broke up) had a very bizarre relationship with his mother. She was NOT a candidate for mother of the year, and as such even after she stopped doing all the stupid things (drugs and such) he had lost so much respect for her, that beyond letting her pay the rent, he didn't care if she lived or died. As such, when we were....er....interrupted, by her on occasion (including beyond 'making out') he would literally pause, answer whatever question she had, and then resume whether she had left the room or not.
She, conversely, wanted badly to be more of a mother and would regularly 'interrupt' in an attempt to exercise a bit of parental control. She would then get so flustered and had such lasting guilt issues that she would ask whatever question she had made up then leave without reprimanding or stopping us. (these were mortifying moments for me)
So the child's relationship with his parents would be very integral to how he handled the situation, and whether he felt any embarrassment or maybe even satisfaction at shocking his parents. Hope that might spark some ideas you may not have considered.

On the other hand, by college I had a long-term thing with this guy, and upon interruption he'd lose his, ah, enthusiasm within 60 seconds.

Hmm, wonder what ever happened to that guy?

Maryn, off to google him

He went on to become very rich by inventing a little blue pill?

I agree that it varies, but of course that's based on observation rather than ownership!

It could vary for reasons of how *into* this girl he is, how close they are to moving to the next level, so to speak (hubby says that there's a point where a marching band could be playing in the room and he wouldn't notice!), and how intimidated he is by his parents.

Er, at risk of shattering illusions, or confirming ideas that many women have, pretty much, a teenage guy, in that situation, is likely to pitch a tent JUST being alone with is girlfriend. Frankly they could be study-buddies and he'd still experience localized swelling.

At that age, a guy needs very little encouragement, and in some cases no encouragement.

How about this, y' know when a woman is pregnant, or in some cases just at that time of the month. She'll experience, what I termed during our three trips down pregnancy lane, "high tide in hormone harbor." For no reason, a woman can become homicidal, or weep uncontrollable, or any other kind of emotional reaction at a moment's notice. Sometimes it happens for no reason at all, sometimes it's just an extreme reaction to some kind of existing cue. This is what being a teenage guy is like. Except no matter what the situation, the reaction is always the same. Wood.

For me, days. Days to come down because I'm incredibly virile and manly and well-endowed. Absolutely days.
For a regular guy, if the girl's dad is particularly mean, then a minute will suffice to deaden said wood. Maybe less, that can be a buzz kill and a half!
But not for me. Days. Without a doubt. Very manly.

Having never had an erection, I shall withdraw (snerk) from this thread.

A hand in your pocket is a good cammoflage for a hard on.

The problem is that a hand in your pocket might exacerbate the problem (or is that really the right bate in this context?) It might not go away for a few minutes.

Please no comments about why you can only see one hand in my photograph.

I think the question of which parent entered the room and in whose house is a good one, and pertinent. For instance, if they were at the boy's house and the father entered, the subconscious might take its time calming down, almost as though it were bragging, son to father (Not that there wouldn't be consequences, but there might also be a look of grudging respect in the father's eye.). On the other hand, if it were the boy's mother, it would take considerably less time for him to get himself together. There would be more embarrassment, and the fear that his mother would view his girlfriend as a slut.
But if they were at the girlfriend's house, either parent, but especially the father, would likely cause his reaction to be immediate. (Fear of being castrated does this.)

I would have to say that it would definitely not deflate immediately. Teenage boys, once inflated, take a bit more to deflate. Let's pretend we're talking about tires. You ever remember guys walking to the chalkboard with their binders. It's not because they love their homework and want to keep it close. Thing of how embarrassing that situation would be...and yet, they don't deflate. The key to your question is that it is a teenage boy. He'd be hiding that thing for about 5 minutes or more...absolutely begging it to die.

Yep. For teens, a smoking gun doesn't mean there's necessarily an outlaw anywhere around.
