It's normal? Or early ejaculation

Is it normal to reach sexual arousal without physical touch by just watching sexually stimulating scenes?

Hi Diktator,

Yes, it's completely normal to experience arousal while watching sexually stimulating scenes without any physical touch. As long as everything is consensual and not causing harm, this is a perfectly healthy sexual experience. You can read more about the relationship between physical and mental arousal in our article The Great Arousal Mismatch: When Bodies and Brains Don't Line Up.

I'd also recommend checking out our article on anatomy. I particularly think the section discussing the brain's role in sexual response could be helpful. I'll leave you with a key takeaway from the article, titled With Pleasure: A View of Whole Sexual Anatomy for Every Body:

No matter what other parts of our bodies are part of what’s going on with us sexually our brain is our biggest, most important and most active sexual organ.
