Imagination is a beautiful thing.

How can I make my guy know that I want sex?

All suggestions below presume consent has been asked for and obtained. Discuss your favorite “sexy time” initiation strategies ahead of time.

  1. In your best seductive voice: “Honey, are you up for some [insert sexy euphemism here] later today?”
  2. Flirtatious looks.
  3. Writing a suggestive letter and putting it where he’s certain to find it. [21st century update: same thing with text, e-mail, etc.]
  4. Initiating consensual body contact [discussed ahead of time to make sure it’s wanted]: hugs, snuggles, gentle strokes, kisses, laying your head in his lap, etc.
  5. The direct approach: “Wanna fuck?” or “We’ve got 10 minutes. I’ll race you to the bedroom.”
  6. Doing a dirty puppet show with your fingers.
  7. Offering non-sexual body comfort then “upping the ante” (foot and back rubs, tickles, and massages that turn into “something else”).
  8. Sexy promises you make in the morning that you “fulfill” in the evening (or vice versa).
  9. Reading erotic fiction to each other or watching a sexy movie together.
  10. Giving your partner a list of sexy surprises you really want and scheduling them throughout the week/month/year.

Seriously, there are so many things you can do that you’ll never run out of possibilities.

All the best.
