Could this be a subconscious turning on that I can't control? Do you think it's normal? Reply to this Question |

 Very very normal indeed. You are showing signs of being a full blooded male, so enjoy each and every minute of it, its just great to be like that, lovely.

 What you are feeling could very well be a non-sexual stimulation caused just by being touched by another person. Human beings are social animals. We like being together, and touch is important to us. For some reason this seems to be somewhat more important to women than to men, but it happens to both. This seems to be one of the underlying principles of some forms of massage therapy, I believe ... that touch can have a therapeutic effect on a person in a definitely non-sexual context.
Have you ever experienced touch, just plain touch, as a sexual stimulant? Touching you on the back, for example, can be intensely stimulating in a sexual context. If and when you get a chance to experience this, you should compare it to what you are experiencing now in your experiences with women. I suspect that you'll find it a very different experience.
(By the way, for you younger guys, just lightly touching a woman on her arms and back for an extended period of time, half an hour or so, without trying to do anything more intimate, can be a tremendous way to get a woman really excited in preparation for more intimate attention to follow. Touch with your fingertips to get her excited, and with the whole hand to get both of you excited. But lightly.)

 Physical contact is one of the most powerful things one human can give another... and it's got nothing to do with sexual orientation either. So, yes -- I'd call this normal.

 Hya hun, i wouln't worry to much about this, as a teenager your hormones will be running wild, wether you feel confused about your sexuality or not, a slight touch from a male or a female can and will send a senstion running through your body, and from experience i can tell you that you have nothing to worry about.
hope i have helped
