The stars have wisdom to impart, and when it comes to desire and love, we could all use some. While no one fits the dictates of their astrological sign (i.e., their Sun sign) perfectly (you’d need a full chart reading for that kind of precision, dammit), it’s hard to deny the hard truths that run through the knowledge humans have accumulated about each sign. Take Cancers, those water crabs born under the Sun sign. Cancer signbetween June 21 and July 22. If you’re in a relationship with one of them, it’s important to understand what makes your partner tick, the best way to communicate with them, and the safest ways to please or tease them. What you do with this information will depend in part on the sign You were born under, but that’s a whole other thing, and our focus here is on your sexy Cancerian.
Here are some of the most sensual traits of Cancer that are worth knowing:
Love is king…and queen
Do: Cancerians Cancers tend to be less concerned with sex than other signs, but it still means a lot to them. They typically place love above sex, which can sometimes make it difficult to figure out what they want sexually. The fact is, love and sex are inextricably linked for most Cancers, who use sex as a way to create deeper connections with their partner. Unsurprisingly, they are one of the least likely signs to have a one-night stand. Without some level of emotional involvement and trust, they may be shy or uncomfortable about getting their hands dirty. While this can happen sometimes, Cancers are not as likely as others to have sex early on in a relationship. After all, they tend to seek passion, love, and a deeper connection first.
So it follows that the way to a Cancer’s heart is genuine, demonstrated affection (TLC, baby). Cancers want to be feel You’ll show him how much he’s loved and appreciated, and he’ll appreciate it when you whisper sweet nothings in his ear, cook his favorite meal to show him you care, or make him a mixtape. No effort is too cheesy or romantic. Ultimately, listening to your Cancer’s emotions and giving him what he needs without being asked is the best way to leave him feeling in love and wanting you.
Sex is generous…and sensitive
Cancers, aka Moon children, are some of the most caring lovers in the galaxy. If you prefer sensual and romantic sex, you may have found your soulmate. We’re talking about heartfelt sex. No matter how often they have sex, they’re bound to take it seriously. Known for their innate desire to take care of those they love, a Cancer’s goal is to please you, and they’ll go out of their way to satisfy your needs. They’re sensitive and intuitive, both in bed and in life, which means they understand what makes you happy and are patient enough to give it to you, no matter how long the foreplay takes. Sex with a Cancer gets deeper and better over time as they learn more about you (and you about them).
The key to driving your Cancer crazy in bed is to never skimp on affection. Candles and incense can provide the romance he craves, as can a massage or a bath together. Do what you can to make your Cancer partner feel warm, cozy, and pampered, and you’re bound to get the same in return. When it comes to seduction, Cancers want someone who will take the time to do it. RIGHT.
Passion to spare… but not too perverse
Perhaps because love is the driving force in many Cancers’ sex lives, they tend to gravitate more toward gentle sex. Cancers may want to try something new and crazy every now and then, but that’s not their default setting. They’re more likely to stick with what works best in order to perfect their technique beyond comprehension. Ultimately, though, Cancers can be moody at times, and they have different sexual sides depending on those moods: they can be intense and energetic one session, and gentle and loving the next. Most of the time, they prefer to keep things simple, but they seriously make up for it by being one of the most passionate signs in the sky.
If you suggest something kinky, your Cancer partner will probably think about it and maybe try it to see if they like it. Some Cancers are more likely to respond well to kinky positions that put them in a submissive position and aren’t too rough. They tend to enjoy role-playing, some of which are quite risqué (i.e. slave scenarios where they are the slave). Cancers tend to enjoy creative or even downright inventive sex positions, so don’t be afraid to suggest new erotic poses in bed. Your partner is up to the task.
Good listeners…but not always the best speakers
Cancers are often good listeners. They give any situation their full attention and tend to be a caring and compassionate presence when you need them most. Yet, as sensitive and emotional as they can be, they aren’t always the clearest communicators about their own feelings and aren’t always very explicit about their sexual desires, which can sometimes leave you searching for a seemingly elusive understanding of the person in front of you!
The best way to engage your Cancer lover in stronger communication is to take the time to discuss everything clearly and openly them that turn You This will instill a sense of security and pleasure in your partner and open them up to sharing more of themselves. While things may start slowly with a new Cancer love interest, they tend to heat up quickly when genuine intimacy and authentic exchanges become a key factor.
Sustainable commitment… and attachment
Cancers are among the most devoted signs of the zodiac. Once they love you, they are bound to hold on tight. They tend to be faithful and loyal for the long haul and are usually reluctant to break up with a serious relationship, even when times are tough. On the other hand, they can be clingy and difficult to break up with or distance themselves from, as emotional and domestic security are at the top of their list. Just as it takes them a while to let you in, it can also take them a long time to let you go or learn to give you space.
The good news is that if you’re looking for someone who isn’t afraid to commit, you’ve probably found them in your Cancer partner. When it comes to clingy Cancers, the best way forward is always through clear communication! If you’ve ended your relationship but your Cancer still feels there’s hope for reconciliation, don’t play games with them by giving them false hope. No matter how you feel, be honest with them, whether they’re your significant other or your soon-to-be ex.
Unwavering loyalty…to a certain limit
As we can see now, Cancers aren’t the most likely to jump into bed with someone else. One of the least promiscuous signs, many Cancers find cheating to be morally wrong (on a whole new level). However, they aren’t always faithful, and that’s a fact. While your loyal crab is known for putting the needs of others first, deep down, they want nothing more than to receive the same level of devotion in return.
To keep your Cancer engaged in your relationship (even though no one really can stop (to prevent someone else from cheating), don’t skimp on reassurances: never hesitate to show them that they are appreciated. Any partner of a Cancer who constantly criticizes or puts them down is likely to chase them away, whether that’s into someone else’s arms or simply out of reach. FYI, when it comes to cheating, Cancers are probably more likely to do it. emotional cheating Although they can be emotionally needy, Cancers will, when necessary, seek support and comfort elsewhere.
In summary : Treat your sensitive, sexy Cancer right and you’ll get back what you gave, a hundredfold. When there’s real chemistry, connection, and commitment, you’re ready for the romantic ride of a lifetime, so buckle up.
When it comes to compatibility, no one takes to a Cancer better than another romance-focused Cancer, but Cancer’s sexual style also meshes well with Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces, while Taurus and Virgo get honorable mentions. No matter your sign, though, hard love conquers all, my darlings, so if it’s worth it, do the work (and work he).
