Sexual environments themselves can kindle arousal independent of the people present.

Evidence

Even though I was twice his age and had a huge crush on him, never in a million years did I entertain the idea that we would ever sleep together. During the move, Mario and I worked side by side, wrapping and unwrapping all of Ginger’s sex accoutrement: all kinds of toys, including her prized whips. On the second day of the job, it was Cinco de Mayo. We took a break and had a Mexican lunch and a couple of beers on Ginger’s dime. When we got back to work we filled up the waterbed and put the new linens on it. Feeling full from the heavy carbo-loaded lunch, Mario and I collapsed on the water bed once it was made. We were resting and talking for a bit when suddenly, out of nowhere, Mario started to kiss me. The sex vibes in Ginger’s boudoir must have turned him on and I just happened to be there. In my opinion he was a god, but I was so surprised to be getting laid by the boy who turned down Madonna that I left my body and hovered above us, watching myself having sex with him like I was in my own porno movie. I didn’t get over it for days. — Dolores DeLuce, Blow Jobs, 232
