Is it normal to always be turned on by your partner?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes—having a strong, frequent desire for your partner is normal. The important thing is that it feels good for you both and never turns into pressure to have sex.

Lots of people feel consistently attracted to their partner, especially when the relationship is new or they’re especially close. For some, desire comes and goes more; there’s no single “normal” amount of being turned on.

Enjoying that feeling is fine, and you don’t have to act on it every time. Keep checking in about comfort and consent, since your partner may not always be in the same mood—and that’s normal too.
