Let’s talk turn-ons folks, those things that rev our engines, harden our nips, flip our switches flush our cheeks and stir our loins
In what I hope is evidence of consent being paramount to pleasure, Americans ranked being told “I like that,” in bed as a top-tier turn-on. Our nation also loves neck kisses, ear nibbling and eye contact. We’re also, allegedly, really into the approachable aesthetic of the “dad bod.“
The more you know.
While turn-ons are as idiosyncratic as the wide range of people that exhibit them, research has revealed the link between astrology and arousal.
Enter Pure, a shame-free, pleasure-positive dating app wherein user profiles include a ‘turn-ons’ feature to encourage connections rooted in shared desires. Can dig. Pure analyzed the preferences of 500,000 people to determine what turn-ons align with each zodiac sign. Read on to learn more and see here for the zodiac signs most likely to flourish on dating apps.
Let the good times roll with our guides to the best role-play, sex toys, fantasies, foreplay, obsessions, positions, turn-offs and porn for each zodiac sign. Giddy up and get it on.
As a fire sign ruled by the planet of drive and desire, ram folks are refreshingly direct about what does and does not do it for them. Pure found that Aries users are into heavy petting, friends with benefits (FWB) and sex in public places.
It tracks.
They’re ever oxygenated by impulse, ease and intensity. Thus, a portable breakfast, a friend they can call up to d–k down or someone willing to get it on on a park bench all conspire to inspire desire in the Aries ilk.
Pure users who identify as Taurus are into breakfast, kisses, scents and film buffs. Ruled by Venus, the planet of the sensual experience, the bull herd venerates that which looks, smells, tastes and feels luxurious.
Gluttons for the good life it checks out that breakfast would be a turn-on for this ilk although I would venture to guess that by indicating they are into “film buffs” they mean someone willing to watch porn in the afternoon and eat takeout in an unmade bed with them.
A majority of Gemini app users listed sapiosexuality and role play as major turn-ons.
Gemini is ruled by Mercury, planet of the mind and messaging. Smart is hot and boredom equals doom to this lot. Sapiosexuality IE brain licking, IE being sexually attracted to someone with a high IQ is an apropos turn-on for this curious, highly verbal continent.
Add to the mix that Gemini is symbolized by the dual-leaning twins and role-play offers the opportunity to act out their myriad moods and split personalities.
Cancers routinely ranked dom/sub relations, massage and butt play as their top turn-ons. Cancer was recently voted one of the four most codependent zodiac signs and BDSM dynamics at their highest expression can help partners explore, process and improve relationship dynamics.
As Emily Ann of The Kink Fix explains, “Because BDSM requires excellent communication, especially around consent and personal boundaries, it is a playground with which to observe and deal with “stuff that comes up” – including patterns of codependency and attachment issues.”
Literal sexual healing? Can dig.
In a surprise to no one, Leo’s turn-ons include chocolate, role-play and stripteases.
As a sun-ruled sign, lions love to feel like the brightest star in the solar system. A striptease ensures they will absorb the absolute attention of their partner (just like they like it) while a role-play scenario is a healthy place to explore their dramatic qualities in a sex-positive environment.
Show off, get off, a Leo poem.
It’s apropos that chocolate also makes the list for Leos as this sign rules the heart and cacao, the source material of chocolate is a sacred plant medicine that works directly with the energy of the heart center.
Virgo folk listed home sex videos, oral sex, being a dom and sexting as their primary pleasures. Ruled by trash-talking Mercury, planet of the mind and its messages, it makes sense that this mutable earth sign would get their kinky kicks from sexting.
Virgos have an innate understanding of excellence and efficiency and wish, more than anything, that everyone would listen to their suggestions. By assuming the role of dom, in which deference is guaranteed, sex becomes medicine for them.
Libra’s top turn-ons include hotels, being watched, artsy dates and foot fetishes. Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of aesthetics, expensive fabrics and living beyond your means, a quality that serves to explain their preference for hotels and art-centric dates.
Represented by an inanimate object, Libra rules the seventh house of partnership and natives require the presence of another to feel real or to respond. In the realm of human sexuality, this need manifests as a desire to be watched as it is through being seen that Libras feel fully alive and totally aroused.
Scorpios identify their turn-ons as dirty talk, a partner that’s been to therapy and cosplay. Rulers of the eighth house of sex, death, secrets and transformation, scorpions have no interest in sharing sheets with anyone who can’t talk about their feelings… or their fantasies, making therapy and dirty talk natural prerequisites for them.
Sagittarius ranked bushes, literature, cuckolding and music as their biggest turn-ons. Sag represents the archetype of the seeker and whether on the lookout for genitals beneath the cover of fur, knowledge buried in books, truth layered in song, or the thrill of being complicit in a partner’s ‘infidelity,’ the theme remains.
Books, bushes and bangers, you heard it here.
By all accounts, sea goats get sexy with stripteases, board games and foot fetishes. Capricorn is the sign of the holy strive and the ceaseless competitor. It’s fitting that this lot would get hot by playing board games and winning at strip poker.
Life is a game of chess to these strategic hedonists so why wouldn’t sex be?
Water bearers list biting, tattoos & piercings, FWB, sapiosexuality and heavy petting as their biggest turn-ons. A cerebral air sign, Aquarius rules the eleventh house of community and prizes the avant-garde over the ordinary and their kink sheet/wish list reflects these qualities. Looking for a tatted-up casual encounter with a smart person who bites. Checks out.
Research suggests Pisces people are into choking, being a sub, music and sex in public places. As a sign ruled by Neptune, the planet of fantasy, escape and altered states, fish folk can get down with most manner of sexual intrigue.
Choking, or erotic asphyxiation for your word nerds provides a heightened, take me to the edge intensity that suits the people of the scales. A Pisces plea = choke me in the park at dark while you sing me a sad siren song.
