Scorpio men are known for their mysterious, sexy, and enticing demeanor. They are the man in the corner of the room, perfectly okay with doing their own thing and being their own person, but who are also quietly yearning for a deep connection and a loving partner. So, how do you attract a man whose emotions aren’t easy to read and who is intrigued by the more unusual or taboo sides of life?
How to Attract a Scorpio Man
In order to attract a Scorpio man, you must approach them in a genuine, sincere way, giving them a space to open up to you and develop the connection. Love is sacred, sexy, and passionate for a Scorpio man, and they are attracted to a partner who feels the same way and accepts him for who he is but also leaves some room for the imagination.
What personality traits is the Scorpio man attracted to?
The Scorpio man is attracted to a little mystery. Scorpio men are looking for someone who matches their energy, yet also entices them to learn and know more. Scorpios value their relationships and love, in general, more than they initially let on, but they will be looking for a partner who values love in the same way. They are looking for a partner who helps them feel grounded and who is a more stable force for their emotional selves. They are attracted to people who can provide a sense of security for their transformative lives, and feeling safe in a partnership is incredibly important for a Scorpio to be their best selves in a relationship.
They aren’t the type to outwardly express their emotions right away, but they will be watching every move you make and taking notes on your behavior to see if you are a good fit for them. They want to know how you are feeling about them and will appreciate you opening up to them, sharing your emotions, or showing them how much you are into them. The Scorpio man is attracted to someone who is loving, yet they know how to stick up for themselves and not let anyone walk all over them. This is a trait that is needed when dealing with the Scorpio’s stinger.
What attracts a Scorpio man physically?
Scorpio men are attracted to dark colors, dark aesthetics, and someone who has a little bit of a moody vibe. The type of person other people usually stray away from or are intimidated by, the Scorpio man will be completely intrigued by them. The Scorpio man loves good sex appeal, and if you are confident in yourself, your body, and your sexuality, this is very attractive to them. They are not Virgo men who are highly meticulous over what you wear, or if you look put together or not- they are more interested in the way you are carrying yourself and if there is something different about you than everyone else.
The Scorpio man is attracted to people who turn heads and will want to know more about you if you have that type of enticing aura about you.
A Scorpio man will remember what you wore the first time you met them and what you wore the last time. They are big on aesthetics or the type of vibe someone has, and they are looking for someone who has their own figured out. Scorpio men also love some good eye contact, and you will know whether or not they find you attractive if you catch them staring at you. They are the type of person you make eye contact with and will immediately feel a rush of energy and attraction. They are all about intimacy and are attracted to people with deep and enticing eyes.
How do you know a Scorpio man is interested in you?
Scorpio men will know right away whether they are attracted to you; they are the type of people to be either all in or all out. It’s all about the energy and the electricity of the connection for the Scorpio man. This is why if you are questioning whether or not they are into you, they most likely are not because they will make that known right away by their actions and behavior. They don’t care about what you “should do” or what the “typical” way to approach someone is.
You will know if a Scorpio man is interested in you when they do little things to get your attention, or they come out of their shell a little more around you.
The Scorpio man is the type of person who will want to get matching tattoos or vow your love to each other in the most intimate way. They are not a fluffy, light-hearted love like a Libra man. They are the type to go to the ends of the world for you, and expect you to have that same type of devotion to them. If they want to spend all their time with you and are making plans for the future with you, you’ll know the Scorpio man is attracted to you. The Scorpio man will not see anyone else in the room when they are with you if they are interested in you.
Who are Scorpio men most compatible with?
Scorpio men tend to be more compatible with other water signs, and earth signs, and a lot of Scorpio men are also attracted to fire signs like Leo and Aries. The best compatibility match for Scorpio men is Cancer, Virgo, Pisces, and Capricorn. The Scorpio man is looking for their counterpart, someone who makes life a little easier for them and doesn’t cause unnecessary drama in their already transformative life.
Cancers make great partners for Scorpios because they are just as emotional and loving as the Scorpio man. They are both very protective of their relationships and form a deep connection. Virgos also make great partners for Scorpios because these are two people who have very similar personalities, interests, and tastes. It isn’t hard to form a strong bond between the two, and this is a pairing you’ll see often.
Being ruled by Mars, whatever sign the Scorpio man’s Mars is in as well will also pinpoint the type of person that specific Scorpio is attracted to and more compatible with.
What does the Scorpio man want in a woman?
All in all, the Scorpio man just wants to be loved and understood. To attract a Scorpio man is to attract someone who can get deep with you, yet also inspire and protect you. They are the lovers who appreciate the parts of you others may dismiss or deem unworthy, and they are the type of lovers who protect and cherish their partners. They are looking for this same type of commitment and dedication from another, and being genuine, honest, and a little kinky, will attract to you a Scorpio man.

When you work with couples (especially married ones), you’re gonna hear just about everything (relationship-related) eventually. Here’s what I mean: About six months ago, while in a session with a couple, after asking them both to rate their sex lives on a scale of 1-10, while the wife said “8,” the husband gave a surprising answer. “Well, the sex is like a 9 if you’re talking about intercourse but it’s like a 5.5 overall.” Huh? What does that mean? “She is silent in bed and I hate it. And no matter how much I bring it up, nothing changes.”
After about three sessions, we were able to figure out what was going on. She was self-conscious in that area, plus, she also thought that hearing wasn’t a sense, in sex, that should be a big deal. If you’re on her team, you can check out “How To Incorporate All Five Senses To Have The Best Sex Ever” to grasp why that is absolutely not true. Not only does research tell us that sex sounds can help us to perform better, it can boost our (sexual) self-esteem, help us to communicate pleasure (and sometimes, displeasure) and it can also be a form of reassurance for (and from) your partner.
All of this got me to thinking: although a lot of people do actually enjoy sounds and/or words during sex, out of random curiosity, I wanted to know which ones they are — and why. And so, I got together 12 people (six men and six women) who told me what they enjoy hearing most during coitus. After reading this, please feel free to hop in the comments to share if you can relate — or if other things work for you instead.
*Middle names are used in my interview pieces so that people can speak freely*
1. Haven. 34. In a Serious Relationship.
“Cue Destiny’s Child’s ‘Say My Name,’ girl! There is nothing better than a man being inside of you and saying your name at the same time. There’s a sneaky hack to this too: It’s been my experience that men who don’t say a woman’s name then is because they don’t want to mess up and say her name with some other chick. If he says yours, there’s no one else or he doesn’t care about slipping up. Don’t challenge me on this until you’ve thought it through and tested it out. It has always worked for me.”
2. Nathaniel. 28. Single.
“I never got why people were into porn. Mostly all they are doing is moaning and screaming a lot and even that sounds fake. I like words. Tell me what feels good and what you want more of. Say it in a way that is sexy not like you’re a military instructor. I don’t like silence but if you’re gonna just make sounds and not say anything, I’m not turned on as much.”
3. Xen. 40. Married.
“Cuss words. Dirty, filthy, on-repeat cuss words. It’s funny because I don’t cuss in ‘real life’ at all, so when I first got with my now-husband and I was screaming ‘F-ck me!’, he really didn’t know how to take it. It’s not that I have a problem with cussing. I’ve just always associated it with sex, so that’s where it comes up. I won’t get into what he says back…that’s between us. We’re quite fluent in the swear words and they are excellently positioned during sex, though. Know that.”
4. Douglass. 39. Dating.
“My favorite is to be told how good I taste and to hear how a woman responds when I say the same thing to her. I don’t think women realize how self-conscious it can make us if they turn up their face at the thought of swallowing or if they spit it out in front of us. Imagine if we were that way to you? A woman who is all-in, giving and receiving, with head? She’s a fan favorite.”
Shellie here: This actually reminds me of an Instagram post that I recently watched. It’s, eh, poetic enough that you can probably watch it at work. Umm, I think. LOL. You can check it out here. Oh, and cue Lil Wayne’s “Lollipop” song too.
5. Nori. 29. Dating.
“I don’t know what it is, but any time a man whispers, ‘Whose is it?’, that is going to make me bust right there! He can’t say it; he has to whisper it and, preferably, he needs to do it right when he enters and right before he knows that I’m about to cum. It’s kind of primal in a way. Since I like intense, animalistic sex — that tracks.”
6. Jacob. 27. Engaged.
“The first time I heard a woman say, ‘Pound my p-sssy, n-gga!’, I lost it — yes, ‘it’, right there! If you’re a man who gives even half of a damn, a lot goes through your mind during sex including making sure that you are being as gentle and comfortable as possible. When you come across a woman who doesn’t give a damn about sh-t like that, who wants you to let go and be free — you’re in for a great night. You just might get turned out in the process too.”
7. Vivyca. 43. Single.
“Who doesn’t like to hear how good they feel? Just make sure that you’re as descriptive as you can be. How warm am I? How wet am I? How do I feel on you? Moan and grunt a bit in between your words. Make me understand what I feel like because I don’t know unless you tell me. Is it getting hot in here? Damn.”
8. Keith. 35. In a Serious Relationship.
“I like humming. Hum in my ear. Hum on my ear. Hum on my penis. The sensation of humming is indescribable.”
Shellie here: I did some quick research on this one. According to science, humming improves our mood and feels really good — on the giving and receiving end. So, Keith might just be onto something with this one.
9. Queen. 24. Dating.
“You ever notice how men want to come out of you, right after they nut? That annoys me [insert laughter here]! I was so used to that, that when an ex of mine would hold my hips and say, ‘I’m not ready to leave yet’ — that would sometimes make me have another orgasm. Now I’m trying to figure out how to get other guys to say it. Suggestions?”
10. Erik. 43. Single.
“I’ve been with a few bi and multilingual women in my time. I’m always excited to find that out. A woman who moans in another language? Top-tier sh-t. The accent. The new words. All of it. Nothing has been better in my book yet and I’m middle-aged!”
11. Sloanne. 35. In a Serious Relationship.
“It might sound self-involved but my favorite thing to hear during sex is mostly myself. Damn, now that I said that out loud, it REALLY sounds arrogant but hear me out! I like hearing me enjoy ‘him’. Like when I tell my man that he makes me wet or he gets me to, what’s the word — coo, it arouses me more because it’s almost like I’m not in control of what comes out of my mouth. My job requires that I be hypervigilant with what I say — I just love the vocal release that comes from sex because I can let it all out.”
12. Reid. 30. Married.
“’Mercy sex’ is awful. Men endure it because, if that’s the only way that we’re going to get some — okay. But when you’re just having sex with us to get us to not want to for the next few days, your attitude and energy are going to show it. That’s why I like it when my wife tells me not to cum yet or to stop what I’m doing because she’s not ready to. That means she’s in the moment and doesn’t want to rush. Music to a married man’s ears!”
___
Again, I’m always going to believe that…vocal activity during sex is going to make sex better because even reading this had me a little tingly inside. LOL. Seriously, though, the (main) purpose of this was simply to remind you that sex is best when EVERY PART OF YOU is involved. DIY sound effects included.
