Honestly, I "think" every toddler boy I've changed has had an erection when I remove their diaper so I am not sure if it's common or not. I also think you are correct about not being able to urinate while erect but I suppose that could depend on why. I have NO idea...I am simply guessing here...

However, if I were you I would not ask DCB to sit on potty any longer than he feels he needs to. If he feels he has fully pee'd even if only a few drops I'd let him be. I guess as long as he is pee'ing....even if he literally goes to the bathroom every twenty minutes. Can he dress/undress on his own or will using the bathroom every 20 minutes require your assistance?
