If you're debating whether or not you should make a move on your crush or take things to the next level with your boyfriend, it'll help to know the signs of lust. That way, you'll be able to figure out if he's waiting to leave the room or waiting for you to jump on top of him. Here are a few different ways to tell if he's turned on:
1. Dilated Pupils
When we see something we like, our pupils will grow bigger. So if they dilate when he looks at you, it means that he's attracted to you.
2. Eyebrow Flash
This can be hard to spot, because it happens in half of a second. However, you might be able to catch his eyebrows raising as soon as he sees you, which means he thinks you're sexy.
3. Tight Jeans
This is the most obvious sign of lust. If you glance down at his jeans and see a bulge, then it means he's turned on.
4. Fast Heartbeat
If you're resting your head on his chest and can actually feel his heart racing, then he's either nervous or turned on. Either way, it suggests he wants you to make a move.
5. Preening
If he keeps smoothing down his shirt or fixing his hair, it's a sign of flirting.
6. Change in Voice
Men change their voices when they're around the woman they like. It's a subtle difference though, so be on the lookout for it.
7. Eye Sexing
There's a certain look he'll give you when he's turned on. You'll know it when you see it.
8. Licking Lips
If he draws attention to his lips, even without meaning to, it suggests he's thinking about kissing you. So do him a favor and make the first move!
9. Checking out Your Body
If you catch him looking you up and down, he's checking you out! That only happens when he finds a woman attractive.
10. Heavy Breathing
If his breathing is heavier than usual, then he's probably turned on.
11. Hands over Crotch
If you're looking for a bulge in his jeans, but his hands are covering the area, it's probably because he's trying to hide it.
12. Deeper Kisses
If you two are in the middle of a make-out session and he suddenly starts kissing you harder, then he's in the mood to take things further.
13. Moaning
If he moans when you touch him, then he's definitely enjoying what you're doing. He probably wants you to do even more.
14. Moving His Legs
Men tend to move their legs around when they're starting to feel aroused. So if he keeps crossing and uncrossing them, it's a good sign.
15. Walking Funny
If he's walking a little strange, he might have an erection.
16. Taking His Clothing off
Even if it's just his jacket, taking off his clothes means that he wants things to get hot and heavy. The next thing you know, he'll be taking off his pants.
17. Bluntly Telling You
Some men aren't shy. They'll tell you how they're feeling. So if he says you're turning him on, believe him. He wouldn't lie.
Everyone is different, but all of these movements suggest that he's ready for sex. What is a telltale sign that your man is turned on?
Frequently Asked Questions
- How can you tell if a guy is turned on?
- You can look for subtle signs like his body language, eye contact, and how he touches you. He might lean in closer, his pupils might dilate, or he could have a hard time keeping his hands to himself.
- Are there any physical signs that a guy is turned on?
- Oh, definitely! Besides the obvious ones (you know what I mean), he might breathe a bit heavier, blush, or get sweaty palms. Sometimes you'll notice a change in his voice too.
- What should I pay attention to in his behavior?
- Watch how he acts around you. If he keeps finding excuses to touch you or gets nervous and fidgety, those are pretty strong indicators. It’s like he can’t help himself!
- Could a guy be turned on even if he doesn't show obvious signs?
- Absolutely, some guys are really good at hiding their feelings. He might be trying to be respectful or is just shy. In those cases, pay attention to the little things – a lot can be in the eyes and subtle actions.
- Is it possible to misinterpret the signs?
- For sure it is! Sometimes what we think are signs he’s turned on could just be him being nervous or really interested in what you’re saying (or he drank too much coffee). Always try to look at the bigger picture and multiple signs before jumping to conclusions.
