    First time reading eroticism advice?

    Hey everyone this is my first time posting, I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me if this is normal? I was reading an erotic novel the other day and it came to a bit where the main character, a girl started masturbating thinking about a guy. I've never read this sort of book before and I was shocked to find myself getting aroused by this as I am straight and in a happy satisfying relationship. However the more I think about it I realise I was imagining i was the girl, not actually getting aroused by her. When she was touching herself I was thinking about the guy too and it almost felt like those things were happening to me not her. I was just wondering if it's normal to be aroused by this as a straight female. Do others pretend they are the girl? Or is that weird? Should I be worried?
    thanks!

    seems completely normal and expected when reading erotic literature. That's the purpose, to be aroused.
    I think it means very little that it happened to be a girl in this scenario.
    So, no worries, my dear. Enjoy your book!

      Normal.

      When my g/f thinks about sex, she gets horny. If she's watching porn, she becomes drenched.
