A Blue-Steel Hardon
1.  An adamantine erection.  The difference between a regular  hardon and
and a Blue-Steel hardon is:  when you  press downward on a regular hardon
and release it, it  springs back up and slaps you in the belly two or three
times.  When you press down on a Blue-Steeler, your feet fly out  rearward
from beneath  you.
