The Sex Position That Turns You On Most, Based On Your Zodiac Sign
You'll thank your lucky stars for this list of the best sex positions for all signs, per astrology.
getty There's no doubt that when it comes to spicing things up in the bedroom, we think you're worthy, nay entitled, to the know-how to have great sex each and every time. And, well... we think the universe agrees.
We know people tend to follow horoscopes to figure out their forecast for things like love and money, but why can't we also use astrology to forecast how you can have better sex, too?
We decided to put two and two together and bring you the best zodiac sex positions for men and women.
When you take astrological signs into consideration, you can find out a lot about your partner's likes and dislikes, including what turns them on (and off) in bed.
Is your partner a passionate lover? Is your partner more crazy and experimental? Does your partner think foreplay is really important?
Believe it or not, all these intimate questions can be answered just by studying each zodiac sign's sexual preferences, whether that means using lots of lube, focusing on oral sex positions, using a sex swing, or trying kinky positions.
We've done the heavy lifting for you (no need to pour over your natal chart or anything like that) by pairing up some of the best hot and steamy sex positions for each zodiac sign that fits to a T.
Find out which one best suits your sign (and your lover's), and then take turns trying them out! Most importantly, keep in mind which personality traits belong to which sign in order to improve your overall zodiac compatibility and sexual chemistry.
