The 9 foundations to arouse a guy and make him horny while sitting next to him
The next time you’re sitting down with a guy you’re sexually attracted to, you don’t need to wait for him to make a move. All you need to use are these 9 subtle steps to make a guy horny, and you’ll leave him with an uncomfortable erection in his pants within a few minutes!
And once you get there, you won’t have to worry about ways to let him know that you’re sexually attracted to him. He’ll assume he’s the one who’s lusting for you, and he’d make a move on you even before you drop any hints that you like him too.
1. Build the sexual tension
If you want to make a guy horny, it all starts with a comfortable and quiet place to sit down together. Find an excuse to sit close to him, slide your butt really close to him and show him a few new pictures you clicked on your phone, or an article you think he’d enjoy.
Show him this article on 22 girl things girls do unintentionally that guys love and ask him if the list is true. It’s a perfectly flirty way to spend the next 15 minutes attached at each other’s hips AND talk about flirty and dirty things girls do at the same time!
You can talk casually and just behave as you normally would. The first thing you need to do is get him to feel comfortable with the fact that you’re sitting so close to him.
A guy may feel awkward for the first minute or two when you enter into his personal space, but he’ll get used to it in no time as long as you keep it casual and talk about something to distract his nervousness.
2. Speak softly
Drop your tone a few minutes into the conversation and start speaking softly, just above a whisper. Your high-pitched laughter or excitement may please the guy if he’s trying to impress you.
But if you want to make him horny, a soft voice creates the perfect setting for an intimate conversation.
It’s just like sex. When you’re having passionate sex with a guy, doesn’t your voice automatically drop down to a seductive whisper because you’re so turned on? Well, try to replicate that tone without making it obvious to him. [Read: How to sound really sexy when you’re trying to seduce a guy in bed]
3. Create awkward situations
An awkward situation is almost always the sexiest way to arouse a guy and make him really horny. All you need to do is find a way to move in closer to him.
You could pretend like you just got scared of something crawling near you and cling to his arm as you sit next to him. Or you could bend towards him to reach for something that’s on the other side of him.
But when you do something like this, make sure your boob or your thigh grazes against his body for a few seconds while you reach out to something. Pretend like you don’t realize it, and the sudden unexpected graze would leave him feeling uncomfortable, but pleased and excited at the same time!
Check out these very powerful ways to seduce a guy who’s not yet yours and leave him smitten that you can use when you’re not sitting next to him.
4. Tell him a secret
Look around in an obvious manner, like you’re trying to see if anyone’s around. And pretend like you have a secret you’d like to share with him.
Go really close to his ears, and share some gossip that you think is worth talking about. But more importantly, as you whisper in his ear, make sure your lips touch his ear lobes *accidentally, of course!* a few times.
That’s an immediate turn on for any guy, and that accidental kiss on his ear would make him assume he’s just got lucky. And he won’t have a clue that you’re intentionally trying to make him horny.
5. Give him an eyeful
Bend down to pick something up, and make sure you give him an eyeful of your sexy parts, be it your cleavage or your lower back.
Take your time getting up so he can take a good peek without feeling scared that you’d catch him in the act. Guys are very visual and they’re easily aroused when they accidentally get to peek down a girl’s tee shirt.

6. Get affectionate and touch him
Start off by showing him something on your body. It could be a bruise on your thigh, a chip on your heel or anything else that you can complain about, and tell him just how annoyed you are by it.
And as you do this, rest your head on his shoulder for a second *and take a deep breath* or play with his fingers, like you’re annoyed and need a distraction.
He’ll instinctively try to cheer you up or say something sweet like “it doesn’t look so bad…” or “I hope it doesn’t hurt too much…” Pretend like you’re still bothered by it, and continue talking about it. You can leave his fingers or lift your head off his shoulder now.
All you’re doing here is letting him know that you’re comfortable in his personal space, and you’re subtly giving him permission to touch you. And if he’s feeling the sexual tension already, he’d be wishing you’d sit more closer to him!

7. Get him to touch you
Making a guy feel bold enough to touch you is easy, as long as you say the right thing. Point out to a mole or a part of your body, and tell him something about it. “Do you know I have a birthmark here?” “I really like this mole on my body” “I hate my nails, they seem so fragile…” Say anything that brings his attention to your body.
Big chances are, as soon as you say a line like this, especially ones that are focused on your fingers or a body part that’s easily accessible *so he won’t feel awkward*, the guy would immediately reach out and touch you to examine what you just pointed out!
8. Tell him a secret
And by a secret, I mean a sexual secret. You could talk about something you once did with an ex, or a secret lusty fling you had recently. But don’t start the conversation out of the blue though.
Ask this guy a question or two that would create the right circumstances to talk about it. Say something like “so… are you still dating that girl?” or “You’re very naughty, aren’t you? I heard about that thing you did with…”
And once he starts blushing or talking about a naughty incident, bring yourself into the picture and talk about something naughty that you’ve done, even if it’s an incident involving another guy.
It would make him jealous to know another guy’s been lucky enough to get naughty with you. And it would also make him want to do it with you. If he says something like “I wish I was that guy…” you can always say, “Oh, really…? What would you have done…?”
9. Do you want to kiss him or leave him horny?
By now, the guy you’re talking to would be so worked up and so horny he’d have a hard time keeping his hands off you. But unless he’s extremely horny, his gentlemanly side wouldn’t know what to say or how to make out with you.
This is where you need to ask yourself what you want to do. You can either leave him there with an uncontrollable hard on, so you can continue this later, and at a better place and time. Or you can let him know that you have something more in mind and get him to kiss you – just use these naughty ways to get a guy to kiss you when you want him to.
Naughty ways to make a guy horny, and crave you even harder
Once you’ve laid the foundation with those first moves, it’s time to turn up the heat. These next-level steps play with his senses, anticipation, and even his imagination, so you stay on his mind long after you’ve walked away.
10. Play with your hair, like you don’t even know you’re doing it
This one’s classic, but don’t underestimate how effective it is. Lightly twirling a strand, tucking it behind your ear, or letting your fingers trail through your hair slowly can mesmerize him.
It taps into his visual arousal triggers and signals femininity and flirtation without being obvious. 📚 Source: Abbey et al., 1987, Subtle female nonverbal cues like hair-touching often escalate male sexual interest
11. Let your scent do the seducing
You don’t need to drown yourself in perfume. In fact, men are more aroused by natural body scents, especially when they subconsciously detect signs of female arousal. A hint of vanilla or sandalwood is great, but your natural skin scent mixed with a soft fragrance? Irresistible. 📚 Source: Arnaud Wisman, et al., 2020, Sexual Chemosignals: Evidence that Men Process Olfactory Signals of Women’s Sexual Arousal

12. Mirror his body language, just enough
Subtly copy his posture, gestures, or how he holds his drink. It builds unconscious rapport and triggers mirror neurons in his brain that increase attraction. It makes him feel you’re “in sync,” which amplifies emotional and sexual chemistry without him realizing why. 📚 Source: Chartrand & Bargh, 1999, The chameleon effect
13. Whisper something completely unexpected
Out of nowhere, lean in and whisper something that’s totally unrelated to the moment, like “Your neck smells really good” or “You have ridiculously kissable lips.” Say it deadpan, with no follow-up, then just carry on like it never happened.
This short-circuits his brain and floods him with sexual curiosity. He won’t know what just hit him, but he’ll be dying for more.
14. Make eye contact… then look at his mouth
Hold his gaze just a second longer than normal. Then glance down at his lips for half a second and smile, like you know something he doesn’t. It’s subtle, but it triggers the “is she thinking about kissing me?” spiral, and that thought alone is enough to get him horny fast.

Hook him with more arousing micro-moves
You’ve already got him intrigued, flustered, and maybe shifting uncomfortably in his seat. Now it’s time to up the ante with sneakier, more psychological tactics that slip under his radar, and straight into his fantasies.
15. Lightly touch your lips while listening to him
Not in a weird, exaggerated way, just gently trace your bottom lip or dab at it like you’re deep in thought. This draws his eyes to your mouth, one of the most sexually suggestive zones. According to eye-tracking studies, men tend to focus on the lips during conversations with women they’re attracted to. It’s a subconscious turn-on.
📚 Source: Nummenmaa et al., 2012, Men are more visually drawn to women’s lips during interactions, especially when attraction is high.
16. Break the personal space bubble… casually
Pretend you’re reaching for your drink or need to get up and lightly press your thigh or arm against his. Even a few seconds of unexpected contact increases physiological arousal, especially when the touch is framed as casual. He’ll notice, even if you pretend you didn’t.
📚 Source: Burgoon et al., 1991, Physical proximity and touch significantly increase perceived intimacy and desire in interpersonal settings.
17. Ask about his “type” in a flirtier way
Say something like, “So… what kind of girls do you usually go for?” Then smirk and ask, “Do I match that?” This creates a sexually charged moment disguised as curiosity. It also invites him to view you through a romantic/sexual lens if he hadn’t already.
It subtly shifts the conversation from neutral to maybe you and me, without being explicit. [Read: 34 Sexy Secrets to Seduce a Man Who’s Not Yet Yours & Hook Him Hard]
18. Breathe a little slower and deeper
This one’s sneaky. When you slow your breath and deepen your inhales, it triggers a mirror response in the person next to you. He unconsciously matches your breathing rhythm, which makes him feel more relaxed… and turned on.
📚 Source: Feldman et al., 2011, Coordinated breathing can increase emotional attunement and physiological regulation between partners.
19. Show a flash of skin, then hide it again
Lift your hair to cool off your neck. Adjust your sleeve. Uncross and recross your legs. Tiny moments like these reveal just a hint of skin and spark his curiosity. The secret? Don’t overdo it. Give him a peek, then pull it back. It teases his imagination, and nothing’s hornier than what he can’t quite have yet.
The final naughty steps to leave him craving more
At this point, he’s not just turned on, he’s enchanted, intrigued, and wondering how you’re doing this without even touching him. These last steps are all about owning your seductive energy and giving him a fantasy to remember.
20. Touch yourself casually (but not that way)
No, not that kind of touching, this is PG-13… with R-rated implications. Lightly brush your own collarbone, play with your necklace, adjust your strap, or run your fingers along your wrist while you talk. It shows comfort with your body and draws his eyes to the places you touch. He’ll be dying to take over.
21. Bite the inside of your lip slowly
It’s one of the most primal nonverbal signals of sexual interest, and it’s wildly effective. Lightly biting or tugging at your inner lip while listening to him talk makes you look vulnerable, playful, and suggestive, without saying a word.
📚 Source: Mariska E. Kret, et al., 2020, Lip-biting is a universal human gesture associated with flirtation, tension, and sexual readiness.
22. Hold eye contact while sipping your drink
This one’s subtle but loaded. Take a slow sip of your drink while keeping eye contact with him. It signals calm confidence and sensual poise, like you’re in control of the entire energy between you two.
Bonus: if it’s something red (wine, juice, etc.), the visual contrast makes your lips even more noticeable.
23. Ask him what turns him on, but say it playfully
Lean in and say, “Okay, real question… what’s one thing a girl can do that turns you on instantly?” Then laugh and say, “Just curious…” It invites him into a vulnerable, flirty space, and if he takes the bait, he’ll definitely start imagining you doing those things. Mission accomplished.
24. Send him a follow-up tease later
Once the moment’s passed, seal it with a message that makes his imagination explode. Something like:
“Hey, just realized I was basically sitting on you earlier… hope I wasn’t too distracting 😈”
This not only reignites everything from earlier, it also creates anticipation for next time. And anticipation, according to research, is one of the biggest turn-ons of all.

25. Leave while he still wants more
If you want to be unforgettable, don’t wait until things get predictable or fizzle out. Leave when the tension is still hot. A sudden ending after so much build-up makes everything linger in his mind, and turns a good flirt session into a memory that keeps him up at night.
The art of seduction without making it obvious
Here’s the dea you need to remember when it comes to knowing how to make a guy horny. Guys love mystery. As much as we guys may hate to admit it or believe it ourselves, evolution has always made a man crave for something he can’t easily have.
Yes, he wants to undress you in his mind. He wants to see you naked. And he wants to sleep with you. But as much as he wants to do that, it’s the sexual tension you build in the process that’ll determine just how badly he desires you and wants you. If you know how to build sexual tension with a guy, you’d know how to make a guy chase you and get turned on by your mere presence!
Remember this when you’re trying to seduce a guy or trying to make him horny. Don’t make it obvious. The more mysterious you are, the more the suspense and the more hornier he’d get!
Why you need to hide the fact you’re trying to make him horny
Take it slow and play it cool. If you’re trying to make a guy horny when sitting next to him *and you aren’t dating him already*, making your intentions too easy to read can kill the mood. If he realizes that you’re trying to seduce him, he may do one of these two things.
Firstly, he may take advantage of the fact that you’re desperate to get into bed with him, and sleep with you *and forget all about you the next morning because you were just an easy lay to him*.
Or secondly, he may assume you’re tricking him into something wicked like a bad prank and he may cold-shoulder you or back away by asking you to take it easy!
Either way, it’s not going to work in your favor because the outcome would just be humiliation or embarrassment. And we don’t want that!

Don’t be funny when you’re trying to get a guy horny
Here’s the second tip you need to keep in mind to make a guy horny effortlessly. When you’re trying to seduce a guy while sitting next to him or having a conversation with him, it’s obvious that there would be a few awkward pauses and silent moments now and then.
Don’t rush to fill those awkward moments with talk. Let the awkwardness build. You can always convert the awkward unease into something sexual. But it’s hard to change funny to sexy. So don’t kill the sexual mood by laughing, appearing awkward, or talking incessantly.
Look away if you can’t handle the awkward tension, but don’t laugh or use small talk to fill the gaps of awkwardness. Laughing loudly kills the sexual mood instantly, lifts both of you out of the haze of sexual tension, and flings the two of you down into friend-zone territory all over again.
