Yes, this is normal, and it happens to many guys. It's called a spontaneous erection.

When a guy gets aroused sexually, the erectile tissue in his penis relaxes. Blood flows into it at a faster rate than it flows out (called vasocongestion). This causes the penis to get larger and harder.

But sometimes erections happen when a guy isn't aroused - the erectile tissue relaxes without arousal. That's called a spontaneous erection.

A spontaneous erection will go away pretty quickly if you ignore it. You can sing a song in your head, or try to say the alphabet backward to get your mind off of it. Or try to think about anything that isn't at all arousing. This happens to a lot of teenagers, because your hormones fluctuate so much during adolescence. During the year or so they happen, it may be a good idea to be carrying something like a book bag, gym bag, or back pack to hold in front of yourself if it gets embarrassingly obvious what's going on.

Don't worry - spontaneous erections happen less and less frequently as you get older. They also seem to happen less frequently for men who have recently ejaculated by masturbating or by having sex with a partner.

What are the physiological mechanisms behind female erections and how do they differ from male erections?

Female erections, also known as clitoral engorgement, occur when blood flow increases to the clitoris, causing it to become enlarged and sensitive. This is similar to the process of male erections, where blood flow increases to the penis. However, female erections are typically less noticeable and do not result in the same level of rigidity as male erections.
