From the moves that'll drive him wild to his secret desires in bed, read on to discover how to attract a Leo man sexually.

Quick Guide for Attracting Leos

Leos love outgoing and sparkling personalities, so put your confident foot forward and be bold! Leos also love the chase, though, so pull away bit by bit to let him pick up the slack, and keep him coming with compliments and praise.

1

Dazzle him with your confidence and charisma.

Leos are attracted to bold and charming personalities. Play up your sociability and confidence to become extra appealing to this fire sign. Typically, a Leo man hates having his spotlight stolen. But when he finds someone that he deems equally worthy of an audience, his attraction goes through the roof. When you're at a party together, make sure everyone's eyes are on you.
- Run the room. Tell jokes to the group, greet everyone at the party, kill it on the dancefloor, and just generally be a ton of fun.
- Project confidence when the two of you interact. Hold your Leo crush’s gaze, maintain great posture, and use hand gestures while you speak.

Make him chase you.

The longer you let the tension brew, the more exciting it'll be to hook up. A Leo man will definitely want to pursue his crush, so make sure you ruffle his curiosity, then sit back and wait for him to follow up. Let the anticipation build to drive this energetic, amorous Leo man completely wild.
- First, grab his interest. Send him a flirty text, approach him at a party, or tell a friend you think he’s cute (then have that friend "let it slip" to your Leo crush).
- Next, pull your attention back. Wait a few hours to respond to his texts, flirt with another party attendee, or duck out of your conversation with him early.
- Now, wait for him to chase you. By playing hard to get, you’ll have him completely charmed.

Compliment his appearance.

Leos want to feel worshiped, flattered, and totally adored. Leos take great pride in their appearance—so to become irresistible to him, compliment his looks. Let every positive comment that pops into your head fly, because with a Leo, you can't really go overboard. Use flattery to grab his attention or to make sex even more exciting. For inspiration, study his face and body.^{[1]

- “You’re ridiculously hot. I can’t believe how muscular your arms are! I'm so into it.”

Praise him for his sexual abilities.

If a Leo knows that he’s turning you on, that’ll turn him on. He wants to feel like he’s absolutely top-tier in bed, so assure him that that’s the case and he’ll be completely obsessed. Whenever he does something that makes you feel great, tell him. Go all out with your flattery, because a Leo man feels most sexually attracted when he's sure his partner thinks he's god-like between the sheets.^{[2]

- "You’re the best kisser of anyone I’ve ever been with.”
- “I can’t believe how good you are at this.”
- “You touch me exactly how I want to be touched. How do you know how to do that so well?”

5

Give him a back massage.

According to astrology, Leos are especially in touch with sensations on their back. To spice up your sexual experience, use that to your benefit. Offer him a back massage to get him totally in the mood. Incorporate the massage as foreplay or aftercare. Either way, this is sure to have your Leo crush in the palm of your hand.
- “Hey, here's a thought. Before we have sex, could I offer you a quick back massage? I learned this great technique from a friend last year.”
- “That was so fun. I’d love to make you feel taken care of right now. What would you say if I offered you a quick back massage?”

6

Be playful in bed.

Download Article

As a fire sign, a Leo loves their life to feel silly and lighthearted. Yes, it's important to turn up the passion and focus intently on one another. But to really thrill a Leo man in bed, incorporate some frisky jokes and play-fighting as well. Get playful in bed and you'll become that much more attractive to your Leo crush.^{[3]

- Try a little light teasing. “What are you doing all the way on the other side of the room? Are you scared or something?”
- Playfully bite his arm. Make sure this is a light bite. When he looks at you in surprise, just smile back to create a silly mood.
- Include play-fighting and wrestling to spice things up during foreplay.

7

Let him take the lead.

Download Article

Leos love to be in the driver's seat, especially during sex. Let him choose the positions and call the shots. He may even want to experiment with “domination” and power play. Following another person’s lead in bed can be an extremely fun, freeing experience—so if you're interested, try it out with him.^{[4]

- Talk through the decision to try power play together. Discuss honestly and without judgment.
- Create a safe word. Choose a word that you wouldn't normally say during sex, like "hat." During sex, if one of you says "hat," you stop immediately.
- Continue to check in on how both of you are feeling during your hookup. Ongoing consent is an absolute must.

8

Show how passionate you are.

Download Article

Leos love to see you excited, so bites, scratches, and kisses are great. Men of this sign go crazy for enthusiasm and intensity in their partners because they themselves are thought to be like energetic, sultry "big cats" in bed.^{[5]

Expert Interview. 10 December 2021.} Make it clear that you're feeling wildly passionate with him, and he’ll naturally match that energy. Lightly pull his hair, kiss his neck, or scratch his back to raise the sexual ante.
- Before he communicates his likes and dislikes, keep your touches light.
- Ask him directly what he enjoys most. Should you scratch harder, bite lighter, or touch him in a certain place?
- If he expresses hesitancy or an outright dislike for anything you do, stop immediately.

9

Talk dirty to him.

Download Article

Leos love communication, so steamy comments will excite him. Wait for him to initiate the dirty talk because Leo men want to be in charge. Once he's started, go for detailed and explicit comments. There's no need to stress about saying the perfect thing. As long as you're expressing your passion, he'll be thrilled. When in doubt, describe your sexual encounter in detail:
- Talk about what he’s doing.
- Talk about what you’re doing.
- Explain what you’re feeling.
- Talk through what you’d like to do.
- Talk through any physical sensations in your body or signs of physical arousal you see on his body.

10

Switch things up constantly.

Download Article

As a fire sign, Leos love spontaneity and variety, even in their sex lives. This is a sign that constantly seeks new horizons—or with sex, new positions. To be completely irresistible to a Leo man, keep him on his toes and be the sexual partner that he can never quite predict. Incorporate new settings, new kinds of foreplay, new techniques, and new toys into your hookups as often as you can.
- Meet up in a fancy hotel room. Drink champagne, eat delicious chocolates, and spend all day in your robes.
- Dabble in new sexual experiences. Try role-play, stripteases, and temperature play.
- Use sex toys to spice things up. The two of you could visit your local sex shop and pick out a vibrator that you’re both excited about.

11

Take your hookup outdoors.

Download Article

Leos are wild at heart, and they’ll love having scenery to match. When the two of you feel comfortable together, ask your Leo crush if he’d like to try hooking up in a new, exciting (outdoor!) location. Invite him on a camping trip in a beautiful, remote spot. He’ll be thrilled to be connected to the elements, and he’ll also be attracted to how open and adventurous you are.^{[6]

Do things with him and participate in his favorite activities! For instance, if he likes football, go to the game or bring snacks on game day! Show that you're interested in the same things he is.
