There’s a lot of valuable perspective that can be gained by looking at the sky, no matter the weather or the time of day. The stars can be especially illuminating. Let’s face it: When it comes to love and desire, we could all use a new perspective from time to time. But while the stars can’t possibly know all the transformative possibilities that lie within us (FYI, you’d need a full birth chart reading to get that kind of mind-blowing accuracy), the wisdom they hold might just help you see things more clearly. If you’re in a romantic and/or sexual situation with a fiery Leo born under the sign of Leo (July 23 – August 22), it’s helpful to understand what turns your partner on, how to best adapt to their communication style, and surefire ways to drive them wild. Of course, your own sign will also influence the choices you make and the dynamics you create, but that’s another story.
Here are some of the most significant sensual Leo traits to be aware of:
Sex is very creative…and sometimes demanding
Sex with a Leo is a lot of fun, to say the least. Naturally dominant, they usually like to take charge and aren’t afraid to let their creativity run wild (ahem). Born entertainers, they love the thrill of “putting on a show.” Leos like sex to be playful and are drawn to scenarios that involve role-playing, costumes, mirrors, video shoots, and really, anything that creates a unique or adventurous vibe. If you’re up for adventure, you may have found your match. If you’re more into things, it can be difficult to keep your Leo entertained. Leos tend to get very turned on by your appearance and their own; they may always be looking for more appreciation, attention, and affection.
If you’re on the same wavelength as your lusty Leo and enjoy a bit of spectacle, take the time to tease his mind by slowly, expertly removing your clothes, and maybe even giving him a striptease or a lap dance, all while maintaining eye contact. Use your creative talents and radiant confidence to bring out the pleasure in him, and in yourself as well.
Incredibly romantic…for the right person
In addition to embodying fire Between the sheets, being in love is THE The natural state of being of a Leo. They are romantic, sweet and love to satisfy all the desires of their chosen partner. Courtship is extremely important to Leos, as is being pursued by the one they desire. A Leo wants to imagine that he is the irresistible protagonist of a romantic comedy. But he must feel valued and appreciated by his partner before he is inspired to make love in a sweet and kinky way.
Just like you’ll never ignite a Leo’s erotic fire without the right accessories and decor, the same goes outside the bedroom, in the lead-up to the event. Think champagne and a stroll on the beach, long gazes and suggestive smiles, all with violins playing lovingly in the background. Take your Leo out on the town (or let him take you) before you try to get into his shorts. Treat your date as foreplay and you can’t go wrong. Genuine romance makes a Leo glow, positively. Oh, and don’t forget to show him your heart, because he appreciates big hearts just as much, if not more, than he appreciates your beauty.
Foreplay is famous…but only if it choose You
While Leos have a reputation for being very generous sexually, they can also be very selfish in bed if they’re not really attracted to you. It’s tough, it’s true. However, with someone they want to be with, they’ll give it their all in the foreplay department, and beyond. In fact, Leos really like to have a sense of occasion when it comes to getting down to business; they don’t like sex to be rushed or brief, so quickies aren’t usually well-received.
The best thing you can do to make sure you are properly valued by your Leo is to make sure you really appreciate them. I hope the feeling is mutual. If it is, you will probably never regret your decision. If it is not, you may need to reevaluate your self-esteem and reevaluate your relationship.
Passionate…and dramatic too
Leos are passionate by nature and crave frequent contact: this includes fervent kissing, caressing, massages…and exploration. The flip side of Leo’s passion, however, is a well-developed sense of drama, which can sometimes make for a roller coaster ride. Believe it or not, they thrive on a bit of emotional upheaval in their romantic relationships—a bit of breaking up and making up and starting all over again. In fact, this is how they keep the passion alive and avoid the monotony of routine.
If you’re in a relationship with a Leo, you’ll want to match their excitement in bed, but it’s not enough to just feel it; this is a partner who needs you. to show your intensity. If you tend to think you should tone down the drama or over-the-top excitement with other partners, notice that the opposite is true with a Leo. If you’re a good partner, this will make you breathe a sigh of relief.
Faithful…but jealous
If a Leo has chosen you, expect next-level loyalty. But know that they expect it to be completely reciprocal. When they feel loved and valued (even worshiped), Leos are one of the most sexually engaged signs of all. However, they are extremely sensitive to perceived insults and prone to intense jealousy if a partner’s attention is inconsistent in any way. If you betray their trust and hurt their ego by being unfaithful, they won’t hesitate to cheat on you in revenge.
If you’re a flirt, you may want to hold back for your Leo’s sake, as he tends to view flirting as an emotional betrayal. On the other hand, full-on sexual infidelity is a complete disaster for him. At the very least, have an adult conversation about boundaries, expectations, and what constitutes disrespect—for both of you. Some Leos may also be drawn to experimental romantic/sexual partnerships: as long as there’s loyalty and trust between you, any arrangement is possible with your big, cheeky cat.
Bottom line: Treat your fire-loving Leo with love and adoration, and you’ll have the romantic roller coaster of a life, and an orgasmic one at that. Leos are drawn to partners who are unconventional, visionary, and a little wild—someone they can show off and who is interested in breaking the mold.
When it comes to compatibility, Leo’s sexual personality pairs well with Aries, Sagittarius, and Aquarius, while Gemini and Libra get honorable mentions. No matter what your sign, though, if your heart is in the right place, you and your vigorous Leo love might just beat the odds.
