I work as a personal trainer at a gym and i often use the lockeroom's showers but when im in the position where im naked infront of other men i become erect. I wanted to know if anyone had any ideas of what i can do to prevent this from happening and if anyone has or has had the same problem?
Serious answers only please.

Wherefore he did not himself suffer death, but Simon, a certain man of Cyrene, being compelled, bore the cross in his stead; so that this latter being transfigured by him, that he might be thought to be Jesus, was crucified, through ignorance and error, while Jesus himself received the form of Simon, and, standing by, laughed at them. For since he was an incorporeal power, and the Nous (mind) of the unborn father, he transfigured himself as he pleased, and thus ascended to him who had sent him, deriding them, inasmuch as he could not be laid hold of, and was invisible to all. Those, then, who know these things have been freed from the principalities who formed the world; so that it is not incumbent on us to confess him who was crucified, but him who came in the form of a man, and was thought to be crucified, and was called Jesus, and was sent by the Father.
(The Church Father Iranaeus, Against Heresies, Chapter XXIV.-Doctrines of Saturninus and Basilides)
Notice how Iranaeus says “through ignorance and error” the Jews misapprehended, and crucified the wrong person.

“She is an inevitable evil, an eternal mischief, an attractive calamity, a domestic risk, a charming and decorated misfortune”
(John Chrysostom (354?-407)
“She opens the door to Satanic temptations: lead man to the forbidden tree, breaks the Law of God, and corrupts man”
(Tertullian d. 220)
"Woman is a temple built over a sewer, the gateway to the devil. Woman, you are the devil's doorway. You led astray one whom the devil would not dare attack directly. It was your fault that the Son of God had to die; you should always go in mourning and rags."
(Tertullain 160?-220?)
"Adam was deceived by Eve, not Eve by Adam... it is right that he whom that woman induced to sin should assume the role of guide lest he fall again through feminine instability."
Ambrose (339-97)
It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
Augustine (354-430) (http://www.ccel.org/ccel/augustine/confess.txt)
We were ensnared by the wisdom of the serpent: we are set free by the foolishness of God. Moreover, just as the former was called wisdom, but was in reality the folly of those who despised God, so the latter is called foolishness, but is true wisdom in those who overcome the devil. We used our immortality so badly as to incur the penalty of death: Christ used His mortality so well as to restore us to life. The disease was brought in through a woman's corrupted soul: the remedy came through a woman's virgin body.
Augustine (354-430) (http://www.ccel.org/ccel/augustine/doctrine.txt)
"Woman is slow in understanding and her unstable and naive mind renders her by way of natural weakness to the necessity of a strong hand in her husband. Her 'use' is two fold; [carnal] sex and motherhood."
Pope Gregory I (540-604)
"[Woman] was made only to assist with procreation."
Thomas Aquinas (1225-74)
"Woman was made for only one reason, to serve and obey man."
John Knox (1513-72)
"Wife: Be content to be insignificant. What loss would it be to God or man had you never been born."
John Wesley (1703-91)
"A wife should submit herself to the leadership of her husband. Leadership in the church should always be male."
Southern Baptist Convention (2000)

Women have been persecuted by the Church throughout history; doesn’t this prove that Christianity dishonors women?

IS there something about a nations people, histrionics or psychie which can allow this to happen? How could drafted soldiers behave with such evilness? This question has come about from watching a movie called The Pianist last night where the jews were treated worse than animals. Id like to visit Aushwitz but I want to go knowing as much as i can about the facts to give these people the honour they deserve.

If you and your couple are really in love, will you decide to marry as a gay couple and open your identity to the people all around you? How long does the marriage will last? (according to the usual gay marriage?)
