It seems to have a mind of its own. What can I do about it? I masturbate 3 or 4 times a day, but that doesn't stop me from getting erections all the time. It's really embarrassing sometimes – at school, when I've got a bulge in my pants, I imagine everyone is staring at it.

Welcome to puberty! You're describing one of the most common experiences of a boy's teenage years. There are some ways to help this problem, though. Wear tighter underwear (briefs) and less revealing pants, and if you feel yourself start to get an erection, discreetly put a hand in one of your pockets and move your penis so it's pointing to the side. It also helps sometimes to keep your hands in your pockets, so you can hold your penis in this position. Other than that, good luck!
Do you find yourself masturbating more often during some seasons than others? Why?
