Aries men are known for their strong sexual appetite. They love sex and can be very passionate lovers.
They also tend to be quite demanding sexually and enjoy being dominant and assertive.
If you’re dating an Aries man, then you might be wondering what he really wants from his lover.
In this article, we’ll cover everything you need to know about an Aries man in bed.
In a nutshell: Aries man in bed
Aries men like to be the boss, and that goes for in the bedroom too.
Ruled by Mars, the planet of aggression and assertion, an Aries guy can enjoy taking the upper hand when it comes to sex.
If you want to turn him on you may have to let him lead. But that doesn’t mean you should make it easy for him.
On the contrary, this intelligent sign is turned on by brains as well as beauty. He is looking to be challenged too.
Classic Aries traits mean that the Ram is strong, fiery, wild, energetic, bold, and excitable. This can create a passionate mix in the bedroom.
He will take charge and demand your attention. And if you give it to him, he will reward you with a night of passion unlike any other.
His bossy streak in the bedroom isn’t going to suit everyone though. His tendency to want things his own way may be a turn-off for some.
Adventurous and up for some kinks, Aries men do make for playful and passionate lovers. One thing is for sure, you’ll never get bored with an Aries man for a lover.
Keep on ready to discover 15 ways guaranteed to arouse an Aries man.
15 things an Aries man wants in bed
1) Frequent sex
For men born under the fiery Aries Sun, sex is often at the forefront of their minds.
It’s no surprise then that the flames of passion burn strong for him. Aries men are very sexually driven and typically like to have a lot of sex.
His ruler Mars is the planet of passion and desire. This isn’t a sign that will be content with a solitary weekly sex session.
It’s not that he is more concerned with quantity than quality. He wants both. But because Aries men tend to have a high sex drive, the frequency of sex is important for him in a relationship.
In terms of exactly how much sex an Aries man wants, there isn’t a specific sex sweet spot. But he’d certainly be happy with four or five times a week (or even a day if he could) to keep his sexual appetite satisfied.
For some, his sexual intensity feels a bit too much to handle. But if you enjoy plenty of sex, Aries is definitely a sign that will rise to the occasion.
2) To take the lead
If you prefer a guy to make the first move, then an Aries guy can be good for you. When it comes to initiative, Aries men get full marks.
This horny sign is happy to be the one who initiates sex.
That doesn’t mean he doesn’t welcome it from his partner too, but he isn’t often shy when it comes to making his intentions known.
This can be down to his impatient streak. Everything feels urgent to an Aries man, and sex is no different. He wants to get down to business asap. He doesn’t like to wait around for his pleasure, and he’s keen to get straight into it.
So you will find he prefers to make it very clear exactly what he wants from you and to take charge in order to steer things in the right direction. Which is always pretty much always his direction (more on his slightly selfish streak later).
An Aries man is most content when he dominates in the bedroom. And so he can be better matched with a more naturally submissive sign sexually. Or at least one that will let him take charge.
Let’s just say that he wants to be on top sexually. I’m not necessarily talking sex positions, more overall control.
Power play is his biggest turn on for him.
3) Rough sex
Maybe you’re already sensing a bit of a theme with an Alpha Aries man in the bedroom.
His physical passions can lead him to be a bit aggressive sexually. Passion for him has a tendency to get a bit rough.
He isn’t really the tender type when it comes to sex. Instead, he wants to rip your clothes off and throw you around the bedroom.
His energetic and adventurous nature means he likes fast-paced and full-on sex sessions.
That can mean a little bit of rough and tumble. He is likely to be up for spanking, light bondage and anything that makes him feel in control.
As an aggressive sign in the zodiac, he likes to let off some steam by getting worked up between the sheets.
Don’t be surprised if he wants to pin you down or pull your hair. Plain and pleasure go hand in hand for this sign.
His ruler Mars is known as the God of War, and so love making might feel like a sexy battlefield to an Aries man.
4) To feel like your hero
Aries men are perhaps the most stereotypically masculine of all the signs. They want to feel like Tarzan in the bedroom, and for you to be their Jane.
The more he feels like your hero, the more turned on your Aries man will feel. You see, for Aries guys in particular, it’s all about triggering their inner hero.
Show appreciation for his assertiveness and strength to boost his ego and deepen your connection.
This makes him more passionate and eager to please you.
5) Passionate quickies
Because Aries men want lots of sex and they have a sense of urgency around sex, then quickies can be the perfect solution for them.
They get to skip the foreplay and get straight to the main event.
They don’t have to wait, and they can let out all their built-up sexual energy in a short and firey blast.
Fitting in enough sex sessions to keep an Aries man satisfied isn’t always practical. So surprise him with a quickie to keep his passions for you high.
The intensity of a quicky works perfectly for an Aries man who doesn’t need a long build-up and is always ready for sex.
6) Spontaneity
Aries men aren’t really into sex that is too formulaic.
He’s an impulsive lover and wants to have sex whenever the mood takes him rather than fit into a scheduled routine.
He hates boredom in the bedroom and wants to keep things unexpected.
That means the best way to turn him on is simply to turn up at the door naked, rather than to make him a romantic candlelit dinner.
If you’re looking for a fun time with some spontaneous sex with an Aries, then you should definitely consider trying one of these ideas:
- Play strip poker
- Let things turn steamy in the backseat of the car
- Get down and dirty in the bathroom of the club
- Have a roll in the grass on an isolated hike in the woods
Basically, whenever you are ready and willing, so is he. So take him by surprise with some spontaneous nookie.
7) To chase you
We’re not talking about literally chasing you around the bedroom. Although an Aries man would surely be up for that too.
But I mean metaphorically speaking.
He is a predatory lover who likes the thrill of the chase. If you’re too forward or seem too available, it can mean you will quickly lose the attention of an Aries guy.
An Aries man is proud and smart. So he can be quite choosy when taking a lover. He doesn’t want just anyone.
And if it comes too easily to him, he doesn’t value it quite as much. The Aries man can be your typical player in the sense that he certainly likes a challenge.
It’s not that all sex is just a conquest for him, but he enjoys the game of pursuit and to feel like he has truly won his prize.
He likes a girl who will flirt, tease, and keep him guessing.
If you end up in bed right away, in his mind that might be all it is. So if you want more from him, it can be better to make him wait a little and test his patience.
If he likes you, this will only pique his interest.
It’s contradictory as an Aries man approaches sex with a sense of urgency. But he can find it incredibly tantalizing when a woman makes him work for it a bit.
8) Dirty talk
Aries men are communicative and confident sexually. He is also very imaginative in the bedroom.
All these qualities mean that sexy talk is something he loves. It helps him express himself and communicate what he wants.
It also helps that he isn’t prone to feeling shy or embarrassed about sex. So if you want to give him a good time, try using some dirty talk.
Don’t worry if you don’t know exactly what he likes. Just experiment and see what feels good.
A sexually adventurous Aries isn’t put off by giving things a try, and he will appreciate your confidence.
So if you want to get him excited then send him a text letting him know what you want him to do to you. Even simply being playful and suggestive with your words will turn on an Aries man.
9) Leave feelings out of it
Aries men in love and relationships can love intensely and wholeheartedly. This fiery intensity goes for their feelings too.
So it’s not that they are incapable of love, it’s more that sex is about physical pleasure for an Aries man, not about love.
He doesn’t involve emotion in sex, he is simply looking for physical stimulation. He certainly isn’t going to use sex to bond.
If sex and feelings of love are synonymous for you, then you might need to be cautious. His passionate lovemaking does not equate to passionate feelings of love for an Aries man.
An Aries man wants to keep bedroom antics fun, and for him, that definitely means leaving his feelings at the door.
In fact, sex and love are poles apart for an Aries man. He’s very unlikely to make love, he has sex.
It can be quite confusing as this doesn’t mean that Aries men don’t enjoy affectionate touch such as cuddling after sex. They do.
Passionate kissing, touch, and cuddling are all part of his intensity during sex. But don’t confuse them for love, as this is a very separate area of life for an Aries man.
10) To feel desired
An Aries man, despite his bravado, can have his ego quickly bruised if he isn’t flattered and reassured.
He wants to know that someone is truly interested in him. He wants to know he is performing perfectly and pleasing his partner.
Aries men are known as attention seekers. He needs to feel like he is your number one, or he isn’t happy.
Flattery and compliments can be just as important in turning on an Aries man as the physical act itself.
This relates back to the unique concept I mentioned earlier: the hero instinct.
When an Aries man feels respected, useful, and needed, he’s more likely to fall for you.
11) To have his needs met
Something you need to know about an Aries man in bed is that they are generally considered to be one of the less considerate signs sexually.
They can have a demanding nature and be a little bit “me, me, me”. That Ram-like stubborn streak can certainly follow him in the bedroom.
With the capability of being selfish and the impulse to take control, sex for an Aries man often ends up being centered around his needs.
That doesn’t mean he cannot be a very giving lover. But he will certainly expect you to reciprocate.
If he doesn’t feel like his needs are being met, then he may well use his blunt and direct communication style to let you know.
Luckily Aries men are actually pretty simple to please between the sheets:
- Stroke his ego and make him feel like he’s the only man in the world
- Make sure you’re having plenty of sex
- Let him dominate whilst you lie back and surrender to him
12) Confidence
It’s true that as Aries men are warriors of the zodiac they can be drawn to femininity.
But being feminine shouldn’t be mistaken for timid. Aries men like a confident and capable lover.
As an adventurous sign, he doesn’t have so many boundaries. So he will have little patience for a lover who cannot keep up or feels prudish around sex.
Yes, he loves a submissive partner but not a shy one.
He isn’t going to tiptoe delicately around sex and so he needs a confident bed partner who can handle his boisterous ways.
Similarly, his occasionally straightforward and blunt way of handling things won’t suit shrinking violets.
You’ll need to hold your own if you want to go to bed with an Aries man or he might end up walking all over you.
13) To have sex outside of the bedroom
Just like Aries men like nothing more than an adventure in life, they enjoy sexual adventures outside of the bedroom.
On the kitchen counter, in the shower, on the dining room table. Enjoying sex in lots of varied places help keep things interesting for him.
Sex in public places can be a real turn on for an Aries man. He likes to get noticed and has no problem showing off his body.
The thought that you could get caught makes the adrenaline flow and only adds to the high.
So if you’re looking to spice things up with your Ariesl guy, why not try some new locations? It could be fun!
14) Sexual Imagination
An Aries man wants to keep things fresh in the bedroom. So he is usually up for experimentation.
He has an explorative side and so he could be up for anything.
You’ll probably find he’s open to bondage, role play, sex toys, and other playful ways to spice things up.
He’s always open to new ideas, new positions, and new places when it comes to his sexual journey.
Aries men have very active imaginations and are likely to bring up their sexual fantasies at some point.
Of course, whether you decide to act them out is up to you. He’ll probably get enough of a kick out of simply telling you about them.
To tap into his sexual imagination and keep those flames of passion burning in the bedroom try buying some new lingerie and sending him a snap to tantalize and tease him.
15) Touch his head to turn him on
Where does an Aries man like to be touched?
Well, the truth is pretty much anywhere. That’s because touch is definitely an Aries man’s love language, as he is such a physical sign.
His hands are constantly moving, touching, caressing, massaging, and stroking. If you want to really get under his skin, then be sure to do the same back.
But as Aries rules the head, this can be the area to focus your attention.
For example, as a part of foreplay, he might enjoy you running your fingers through his hair, gently massaging his scalp, or touching his face.
Hair pulling can be a particular turn-on for Aries. Although as he likes to be in charge, he will want to be the one doing the pulling.
Other erogenous zones for the Aries man include the ears. So be sure to show them some love with light biting, sucking, and kissing.
And finally, another of his pleasure points is his naval area. That’s because the solar plexus is an important part of the body that fuels the fire of an Aries man.
An Aries man’s sexual compatibility with other signs
If you’re wondering whether you are sexually compatible with an Aries, let’s take a look at his dream zodiac matches in the bedroom.
Who are Aries men most sexually compatible with and least?
The most sexually compatible signs for an Aries man are:
- Leo
- Scorpio
- Sagittarius
- Aquarius
- Libra
- Aries
The least sexually compatible signs for an Aries man are:
- Cancer
- Gemini
- Virgo
- Taurus
- Capricorn
- Pisces
Aries man in bed with Leo
As a fellow fire sign, Leo and Aries are very sexually compatible. They too have passionate and blazing energy that can set things alight in the bedroom.
In fact, Leo is probably one of the hottest pairings for an Aries man. Both are fiery and physical, so they both know how to make each other feel good.
Nothing is too naughty for this pairing to try out.
Leo is also known for being extremely romantic and sensual. This makes for a perfect match for an Aries man who loves to be treated well.
The only potential problem is for a clash of wills to occur between these two headstrong and egotistical pair.
Whilst an Aries man will appreciate a Leo’s feisty sign, he won’t like it if he doesn’t get to take control in the bedroom.
Aries man in bed with Scorpio
Scorpios are known as the lovers of the zodiac, so it’s probably no surprise that they are a great match for an Aries man.
They can satisfy his lusty appetites and enjoy sex as a big life priority too. As a result, they’ll be able to keep up with his need for constant stimulation.
As both signs are ruled by Mars, they share an admiration for strength and aggression, which they can see in one another.
Scorpions tend to be slightly more sensual though, whilst Aries men might want to rush their encounter.
So an Aries man might have to try to take his time more when bedding down with a Scorpion.
Aries man in bed with Sagittarius
Sagittarius and Aries are another fire sign pairing. And when they come together, their natural chemistry is off the charts.
This combination is hot, sexy, and fun. It’s also quite adventurous and spontaneous. So there’s nothing stopping them from trying something new in bed.
They are able to satisfy each other’s desire for change so that neither gets bored in the bedroom.
Aries man in bed with Aquarius
The key to the sexual compatibility between Aries and Aquarius may just lie in the mind more than in the sheets.
Both are independent thinkers who are mentally stimulated.
Remember we said that Aries men love to chase?
Well, an Aquarius has the cool independence that gives off an aloof vibe which Aries men can’t help but pursue.
Aquarius much like Aries tends not to bring their feelings to bed with them. Aries men love the sexual challenge that can present itself with an Aquarius lover.
Aries man in bed with Libra
Ordinarily, it’s not actually true that opposites attract. In fact, studies have shown that romantically, like attracts like.
But Aries and Libra might be the exception and for good reason. This yin and yang balance each other out.
Sitting as opposites in the zodiac, Libra can provide an Aries man with the submissive partner he craves.
Asserting his dominant side is one of an Aries man’s biggest turn ons. And taking a Libra lover allows him to do this.
Libras love to be the mouse, and so an Aries man can be his natural cat-chasing self.
Aries man in bed with Aries
The best thing about an Aries with another Aries is that they get each other in bed.
They understand what one another wants because they want it too. They share the same playful, adventurous and spontaneous streaks sexually.
They both like to get physical and can connect through their sexuality.
Of course, the obvious problem is always going to be who comes out on top. Taking it in turns to be dominant can lead to power struggles that an Aries man doesn’t like.
Aries man in bed with Cancer
The sticking point for Cancer and an Aries man sexually is often the emotional connection.
Cancers have a reputation for being hyper-emotional. But for an Aries man, sex and love aren’t the same thing and feelings really don’t come into it.
This can make it a clunky pairing.
Cancer will often crave more love and attention than an Aries man is willing to give in the bedroom. Meanwhile, an Aries man can start to feel smothered by a Cancer’s loving affection.
Aries man in bed with Gemini
“A little less conversation, a little more action please.”
Although both Gemini and Aries are intellectual signs, Aries men don’t have quite as much patience for the Gemini’s chatty approach.
For Geminis talking is all a part of foreplay. But Aries tends to be keener to jump straight to the main event and skip all that.
Aries man in bed with Taurus
When it comes to sexual compatibility, Taurus and Aries can have very different approaches and styles.
Tauruses are known for being slow burners and take things at their own pace.
An Aries man however, likes to move quickly and can sometimes find himself frustrated when a Taurus takes forever to get down to business.
It’s a bit like the hare and the tortoise. The Aries man wants to rush around to the finish line, but the Taurus has a more slow and sensual way of going about it all.
Aries man in bed with Virgo
Another zodiac couple who can have a different approach when it comes to sex are Virgos and Aries.
Aries men are spontaneous and hate to follow a formula in the bedroom. Routine feels like a fate worse than death.
But Virgos can prefer to play by the rules and not like to color outside the lines. To an Aries, this can come off as sexually uptight.
Aries man in bed with Capricorn
A Capricorn in bed with an Aries should be a good match. Both love sex.
But Capricorns can tend to approach it in a far more conservative way than an Aries man does.
Another way in which these two can but heads sexually is the Capricorns desire to take charge.
They also tend to want to be the dominant partner, and this means they will clash with an Aries who is looking for a more submissive sex partner.
Aries man in bed with Pisces
Sex and pleasure are important for both of these two signs.
But the problem is that Pisces can be people pleasers. Whilst this is a wonderful trait to have in a partner, it can mean that they don’t present enough of a challenge for an Aries man.
Pisces may not always play as hard to get as an Aries needs them to.
