Is it that you're getting turned on, or is it that your nerves are sparked and you get mini-butterflies? Could be the second one. Just because it's your first boyfriend. It's all new to you.

If your relationship is going well, he would like hearing that. If you feel it is right, you should tell him, nicely, "I like it when you touch me," of if even more conservatively; "you have such a gentle touch, I absolutely love it."

Say it however you feel is the right way, but I see no harm in it.

Trust me...when you're in love everything's normal
And since it's your very first time having a boyfriend, it's all new and exciting. If you feel like telling him-do it, but make sure he don't get it in the wrong way lol

Enjoy it. It's a great feeling, and perfectly normal.

butterflies and getting turned on in this situation go hand in hand.
when it's your first bf, everything is new, and exciting.

the feelings are normal btw.

if you're with him, and he touches you, and you just want him to be closer, and touch you all over, like you want him, and you know it
then yeah you're turned on

but if it's butterflies.. then.. you're just excited, it feels good, and it's new, so you enjoy it.

just sayin to clarify if you're now unsure.

guys like to know this stuff, but if you tell him he might get the wrong idea.. and think you want to have sex

so just be careful how you word things, and if you don't want to have sex make sure he knows.

i think.. as for telling him, it's up to you. you know him, you know how he'll react better than any of us

I remember my girlfriend would love me rubbing her hands. LOVE. She ended up being not so nice, but sexually normal. Pretty sure the hand thing was unrelated to her personality. Your fine babe

the excitement of actually having a boyfriend is just getting to you, nothing wrong with that! as above posters said, be careful how you say it to your boyfriend if you do, definitely don't want him thinking you want sex right now. just enjoy the feeling you get being with him! don't let it bother you!

I don't mean to burst any bubbles, but idk how long you have known your bf before you started going out. Days? Weeks? Months? Years? idk what your timespan is in this relationship. But a word about mine. My gf and me have known each other for 4 years and only have been going out for 6 months. When we first started holding hands and as you put it, "touching", neither of us were turned on. It was just what we did. We love each other more than anything, too. So the time frame that you have known him may be a reason for the feeling. Make sure it is love and not just the lust for a boy touching you.

That happened to me when I had my first girlfriend, but I was 13. After a while just thinking about holding or kissing her got me going, so don't worry, it's perfectly normal. Like has already been said, it's just the excitement.
