It's completely normal for nipples to become erect and then soften again quickly. Nipple erection, medically known as "nipple erection" or "nipple hardening," occurs due to various factors like cold temperatures, arousal, or stimulation. When aroused, your body releases hormones like adrenaline, causing blood vessels to constrict and the nipples to become erect. 

However, once the stimulus subsides, the nipples typically return to their normal state. Similarly, the wetness in your genital area, colloquially referred to as being "wet," is a natural response to sexual arousal or stimulation. Vaginal wetness is produced by the Bartholin's glands and the cervix, which secrete lubricating fluids to prepare for sexual activity.

This lubrication enhances comfort and pleasure during intercourse. The duration of wetness varies from person to person and can be influenced by factors like hydration levels, hormonal fluctuations, and sexual excitement. Feeling horny frequently is also normal and can be influenced by individual libido levels, hormonal changes, stress, or relationship dynamics. 

As long as it doesn't interfere with daily life or cause distress, experiencing high levels of arousal is typically not a cause for concern. However, if you have concerns about your sexual health or well-being, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for personalised advice and support.

Nipples becoming hard and then soft quickly, sustained vaginal wetness, and frequent feelings of horniness are all normal responses to arousal and sexual stimulation.
