Tactile Engagement with Vehicle Pedals Create Somatosensory Sexual Arousal

When someone is driving their car, they might find themselves becoming aroused from feeling the different parts of the vehicle underneath them. This can be especially true when it comes to the pedals. The pedals that are used to control acceleration and braking provide a sensation of power and control that can ignite feelings of excitement. This phenomenon has been studied extensively in psychology, and it's known as somatosensory sexual arousal.
