Why do people get horny?

In my early teenage years, I remember reading a younger buddy’s placard that said: “I’m so horny, even the crack of dawn looks good to me!” My friend’s father—a medical doctor—quietly whispered to me: “Please don’t tell him what the word ‘horny’ REALLY means.”

Dear Friend,

“Horny” means you are naturally sexually aroused or excited—NOT that you support your horn-helmeted Minnesota Vikings football team!

Moreover, people get horny due to a variety of natural hormones and their own expectations and experiences.

Sincerely,
Mr. Science

Even governors get horny:
