titillated
Excitingly stirred up
Titillated means pleasantly excited or aroused, often with a hint of the forbidden or risqué.
The word suggests mild, teasing stimulation rather than deep engagement: The tabloid headlines titillated readers with hints of scandal.
Something titillating appeals to prurient curiosity or provides a thrill of the slightly naughty.
