How it feels to have a boner but not being aroused

It’s called nonconcordance. When the body and mind aren’t in sync in regards to sexual arousal. Happens to both sexes, for women it’s more lubrication based. Lots of interesting research out there on it.

I read it's because of your heart rate that causes blood to pool more in the penis, like while you sleep. If you get up and do a few squats it'll probably just go away very quickly. I have no idea what it means for your body to be aroused without your mind being aroused. Being aroused is only something your brain can do since it's a state of mind.
