Is there a difference between being horny and getting turned on?

In my opinion, being horny is wanting sex. More of a hormonal thing. Like being thirsty (lol). Getting turned on, on the other hand, is when a person makes you want them sexually. Like a reaction to an external stimulus. What do you think?

  • Horny : "ooo bby deez nuts of yours , I've been waiting all day to see them" " ooo I feel naughty tonight I want to lick some big willi" 🌰
    Turned on : "ohhhh shit boner , that girl was soooo hot I swear" "omg bitch u fine, u mighty fine" "oh shit I think someone just turned on my light switch" "I'd tap that" 🔥

  • Getting turned on is something causing you to feel horny. Being horny can come out of nowhere! Your hormones can just cause it. Then you can be horny then get turned on even more and make more horniness. haha thats what i think.

  • Horny is just a general feeling of wanting sex. It does not mean your body is actually ready to have sex right now. Guys can be horny without having an erection. But being turned on means you're ready to have sex, right now.

    • Source/reason is different

  • Horny is a state of being. I'm horny right now. Turned on is aroused, which is caused by some stimulus.
