Getting a hard-on at a lifeguard competition is rather unfortunate. We’re not exactly sure what he’s doing with his arms – maybe trying to divert the crowd’s attention away from his obvious boner?

Arnold sent us the following photo:

It’s an Awkward Boners first – one of our readers has submitted a photo of himself with a boner. Not only that, he even wanted us to use his real name in the credit. Is this a sign that times are changing? Has Awkward Boners succeeded in its mission of making the boner something to be proud of rather than ashamed of? We can only hope that this is the start of a new era, one of boner acceptance and respect.

Writes Arnold, “I had just been rescued by a teenage lifeguard and I had no other way to prove to asian girls that i was still a man. So I would consider this a totally understandable use of boners.”

Well folks, it’s up to you to decide. Awkward or understandable?
