Yes: Do not be embarrassed, erections during examination are not uncommon, individuals respond differently to a variety of stimuli. Healthcare providers are accustomed to these physiologic variations in response - you can minimize this response by focusing on something else during the exam.

That's fine: Happens all the time. It's not a "romantic" situation but the very novelty can be a turn-on. Nothing to be embarrassed about. Enjoy being a healthy adult.
