Arousal is the feeling of being turned on sexually. When you’re turned on, your body experiences physical and emotional changes. Your penis or clitoris may get erect (hard), engorged, and sensitive, and you may feel wetness on your vulva or vagina, or on the tip of your penis.

The term turned on, simply put, alludes to sexual attraction. So, if you’re asking a man (directly or indirectly) the question, “Are you turned on?” you’re trying to understand whether he is sexually attracted to you.

Sexual arousal, or being “turned on,” can be defined as the combination of cognitive and physical responses to an erotic stimulus, which in turn can be internal or external. One can feel aroused by appraising a picture, touching and being touched, or by one’s own thoughts or fantasies.

A turn on is anything that cause you to feel sexually aroused. Being asexual is to not have an innate desire to be sexually intimate with a person. You can be sexually aroused by someone or something without desiring to get sexually intimate and in the bed with them
