Here on the internet, most things are designed to grab our attention in some way or the other, and sometimes they're weirdly erotic. But there's something very different about non-sexual real-world environments. A surprise touch, smell or even a movement can often make our brain do backflips out of nowhere.

Redditor u/kaushman2 wanted to hear about the odd, cute and deranged things that other folks had done to accidentally get the blood pumping.

Frankly, so do we.

Note: There's frank discussion of sexuality below. Maybe wait until you're not in public so this article doesn't make the list itself.

What did your friend/random person do that accidentally turned you on?
