Social Sciences - Psychology / marital therapy/sexual therapy | | English term or phrase: brain-dead erection | | For males, adolescence marks their quickest erections and shortest refractory period (the time it takes to get another erection after ejaculation). And if you want someone who can pole-vault into bed with a brain-dead erection, then an adolescent boy is hard to beat. But adolescent boys preoccupied with establishing their masculinity aren’t very emotionally available in bed. |

'brain-dead' hace alusión a que toda la sangre se va al pene, así que esta es mi propuesta. Suerte, Mike! |

47 mins confidence:   erección descontrolada o involuntaria
Explanation:
No veo cómo podemos respetar la intención del autor en este caso. 'Muerte cerebral' no parece apropiado, o por lo menos yo no encuentro la manera de incorporarlo a la frase.

Pues se me ocurre lo siguiente:
"Si quieres encontrar a alguien que puede meterse en la cama con un salto de pértiga sobre su propia erección involuntaria, entonces un chico adolescente es difícil de batir."
Es solo una idea sobre la que trabajar. Sí que es un reto, sí.

Asker: A mí no me interesa decir nada de "cerebral", etc. Sólo me interesa el sentido, incluyendo la connotaciones, etc.
Es un reto para mí.
