Boy Questions Again

[Vicky Whitney]

Before you roll your eyes, start laughing, or start composing any smart-alek responses, please know that I am struggling to ask my questions in a straight-faced, dignified manner. So be nice! I'm asking this publicly on this list as I'm assuming there must be at least ONE OTHER PERSON out there who would like to know the answers to my questions (please??!!!).

As some of you know, I have a 16-month old intact Berner boy -- who is my very first boy dog EVER! I've been married for -- oh gosh, is it really 34 years now? -- and I have raised a son, so you'd think I'd know a little something about the male anatomy. APPARENTLY NOT!

For the third time recently, I found Major standing stiffly, all hunched up, with a strange wide-eyed look of wonder in his eyes. He had what appeared to be a VERY LARGE German sausage poking out in his nether regions. This was NOT just the usual "lipstick" display. The first time this happened, I called to my husband in a panic to come look at Major. Harry just chuckled, said "Way to go, Big Boy" and returned to his hockey game. (He will not discuss this seriously with me, so I can't get any straight answers.)

So last night, the wild-eyed boy has another "episode" -- must have been something like a wet dream, as he had been sleeping just a minute before. This time, as he stood, he was dripping something.

Would someone (preferably tactful, blunt, and with no unnecessary need to heap on the sarcasm) please explain to me what was going on? This was merely an erection, right? Uh . . . there was no "thrusting action" on his part, just standing there stiffly like he couldn't move -- so did he ejaculate, or did he lose control of some urine? When does that "bulge" thing come into play, the donut-like bulge I've heard that causes the tie after breeding? I have to admit, I just couldn't bring myself to feel around down there, or to look too closely -- stupid, I know, but I'd feel like a pervert, or I was invading his privacy during this "delicate time." (Like asking this on the "L" isn't invading his privacy, poor guy.)

And as long as I'm asking -- does this happen to neutered boys? I've never seen anything like the giant German sausage -- just pink lipsticks.

Obviously too sheltered in my own little world,
