    The sexiest conversations aren’t always in bed. Asking your partner what they love, what they crave and what they’ve never told you is one of the quickest ways to better sex, and one of the most fun. Here are 100 sexy questions to ask your partner, from flirty to kinky.

    Ask them over dinner, on a long drive, or on a lazy morning. Answer them yourself too, and never push: “I’d like to think about that” is a perfectly good answer.

    How to ask

    • Pick a relaxed moment, not mid-sex or after an argument.
    • Go both ways. Answer the same question yourself.
    • Listen for the “more of” and the “less of”. That’s the useful part.
    • Write things down. A shared list of “things to try” is a lovely thing to build together.

    Flirty questions

    1. What did you first find attractive about me?

    Frequently asked questions

    What are some sexy questions to ask your partner?

    Questions about what turns them on and what they'd like more of: What's something I do that drives you crazy? What's a fantasy you've never told me? Where do you most love being kissed? Start flirty and let the conversation get warmer naturally.

    When is the best time to ask sexy questions?

    A relaxed moment when you're both in a good mood: over a drink at home, in bed on a lazy morning, or on a long drive. Avoid asking in the middle of sex or straight after an argument.

    What if my partner doesn't want to answer?

    Then move on. Some people need time to think, or feel shy saying things out loud. Answering your own questions first helps, and so does a yes/no/maybe list, where you each fill it in privately and only see where you overlap.

    Are there kinky questions to ask your partner?

    Yes, the kinky section below covers power, restraint, spanking, roleplay and limits. If you find a shared interest, talk about limits and a safeword before trying anything.

    How do these questions improve your sex life?

    Couples who talk openly about sex tend to be more satisfied with it. Questions make it easier to ask for what you want, find out what your partner loves, and try new things together without guessing.
