1. Aquarius (January 21-February 19)
Aquarius, passion and emotional investment ignite your senses unlike anything else. Your approach to sex is a little less than serious— you'd rather laugh and be silly with your lover than treat the encounter like a business meeting. You also value communication with your partner about shared likes and dislikes, fantasies, and secret desires. To your partner's surprise, you might suggest a very unconventional place to have sex in, as you savor the thrill of getting caught in the act and of the strange experience in general. Unexpected quickies have been known to get your blood flowing, too. You'll never be the guy or girl to say no to a mid-party hookup in the host's bathroom or to spontaneous sex in the backseat of your car.
2. Pisces (February 20-March 20)
As a Pisces, you are bit submissive in temperament and therefore need a partner unafraid of taking on the more dominant role in your sex life. But once your partner gets you going, your senses are awakened and you lose any hesitance you had before. Your fondness for role-play and fulfilling sexual fantasies drives you and your partner to partake in all kinds of scenarios when you're together. Even though you're seen as quiet and reserved, you thrive when you're taken off the beaten path and savor eroticism when it's presented to you. So, Pisces, while you aren't one to initiate a risqué encounter, you are an enthusiastic participant and will never have to worry about boring your lover.
3. Aries (March 21-April 19)
As an Aries, your fiery hunger for success doesn't stop right before the bedroom door. You're devoted to mastering the art of sexual pleasure and won't settle for less than giving and receiving total euphoria. You may play around and tease for a little while, but once the allure of foreplay wears off, you're ready to get down to business and dive in head-first. You want your sex life to ignite and not extinguish your adventurous spirit; you want to experiment with your partner and challenge your physical and mental limits as much as you can stand it. Sex is not about going through the motions for you; it's about both partners being completely engaged in each other and committed to shared satisfaction.
4. Taurus (April 21-May 21)
You, Taurus, have procured over the years a taste for the finer things that life has to offer. You incorporate luxury into your lifestyle as much as possible— and your sex life definitely doesn't get a pass. So step aside, college dorms and small backseats, because a Taurus has no time for mediocrity. When you envision the perfect steamy encounter, you see candles glowing in the darkness and feel satin sheets under your fingertips. You fantasize about your partner giving you a sensual massage with some scented oil, or about drawing a hot bath for you to enjoy together after you make love. In your sex life, scene-building is just as important as the execution.
5. Gemini (May 22-June 21)
Geminis are as tightly wound as springs and have a lot of nervous energy. That being said, it's important to you as a Gemini to have fluent communication with your sexual partner at all times, both in and out of the bedroom. Even though you're very adaptable and can compromise with little to no advance notice, you prefer being kept in the loop whenever possible. Your ideal partner knows this about you and always ensures that neither of you are any less than comfortable, no matter the situation. A Gemini's zest for adventure will never fail to liven up your time in between the sheets, but be warned: they're not for the faint of heart or the more secretive kinds of lovers!
6. Cancer (June 22-July 22)
You perform best sexually when you're being encouraged and genuinely supported by your partner. You, Cancer, are incredibly complex and harbor all of your emotions inside. Painful memories of past lovers might invade your mind when you're being intimate with someone else, so it's important that your current partner is understanding of your sensitivity and consoles you when you need it. Once you get a hold on your inner demons, though, you dedicate yourself fully to your partner while you have them. You entice them with sweetness and compassion and captivate them with your body. Overall, for you, the perfect sexual relationship is built up on the grounds of trust and safety; only then can it blossom into a passionate, very physical affair.
7. Leo (July 23-August 21)
It's a wide-spread belief that Leos are only satisfied by the wildest, kinkiest sex. But while you do value your deepest, darkest fantasies, you are actually most confident in a setting that you know well. Sex with a familiar partner or in a familiar place gives you an edge, for you already have an idea of how to behave and thus can effectively be your absolute best. You, Leo, are also very receptive to admiration and praise; nothing enthralls you quite like knowing that you are the only one able to completely satisfy your lover. So you tend to stick to a routine, changing up the pace a bit to prevent boredom, but relying on the same set of moves that you know will get your partner there. Your sex life is at its peak when you can use the skills you've mastered with a person whose body you've come to understand and cherish.
8. Virgo (August 22-September 23)
Out of all of the zodiac signs, you are the least likely to ever be found having a one-night stand. That's because you, Virgo, would rather spend time gradually forming an intimate bond with one person than experimenting sexually with multiple partners. You are not too interested in spicing up your sex life with new techniques, toys, or games; you are very direct with your desires and expect the sex to be straightforward and comforting. Once your relationship has developed, however, you might feel ready to explore, but only after you have extensively researched what you want to attempt and know the basics. Your sex life is best enjoyed with a warm and gentle partner who will never try to cross your boundaries.
9. Libra (September 24-October 23)
When it comes to their sex lives, Libras are all for theatrical appeal. You love it when your partners treat your body like the museum-worthy masterpiece it is; you can't get enough of their loving caresses and light strokes all over. You respond enthusiastically to teasing and see foreplay as critical to setting the stage for a magical sexual encounter. And while you have a set of techniques that you prefer to keep to, you're a creative lover who's always willing to try something new with a partner who's open to it. A lot of your inspiration is drawn from stories you've read or movies you've watched; referring to those relationships, you use you've seen to craft your own idyllic sex scene. Libras are too classy, after all, for anything less.
10. Scorpio (October 24-November 22)
You, Scorpio, are arguably the most sexually charged of all of the zodiac signs. Past partners will most likely agree that sex with you is a full-body experience, uniting physical and emotional pleasure in flawless harmony. More often than not, you become a performer for the night and brazenly act out all of your fantasies without shame. And your libido is definitely built to last, as you find yourself craving more even after you've gone several rounds. As a Scorpio, you were born to do more than just satisfy; you want to mesmerize your partner and help them discover kinks and turn-ons they never even knew they had until they met you. And, of course, you're a sex expert, so you can be counted on to bring even the shyest lover out of their shell and into your limelight.
11. Sagittarius (November 23-December 22)
To accommodate your fiery, daring nature, you search for partners who are willing to engage in some of the most risqué sexual situations they will ever find themselves in. You, Sagittarius, are also very fond of one-night stands; you very much love the freedom to have spontaneous hookups that aren't muddied with complicated emotions. Commitment is hard to come by in your world, so you only get involved with casual partners who are also not looking for romance. When you are in a relationship, however, you courageously own your love for your significant other and show them affection in bed that no fling will ever get. As a Sagittarius, your sex life is largely about the physical gratification.
12. Capricorn (December 23-January 20)
Capricorn, you can guarantee your sexual partner that they will always enjoy themselves. What you can't promise them, however, is a great deal of variety. Once you've discovered your strengths, you would rather play those up than risk striking out with a new concept. Your sexual appetite can be described as insatiable; you can last all night long and still wake up wanting more. You also appreciate silliness in the bedroom. A tickle fight with you, for example, is very likely to evolve into full-on, passionate sex. And what others might find embarrassing in the heat of the moment, you find to be totally normal, human, and laughable. Overall, while you aren't keen on mixing up moves or positions, you are very good with the skills you own.
If you go ahead and look up your crush's zodiac sign now…I won't judge. ;)
