Nurturing sex may sound boring and remind you of eating your vegetables when you were young. But with a Cancerian lover, nurturing means fulfilling; not only do you get a good, sensitive sexual experience, but also you gain the feeling of cozy comfort akin to smelling cookies baking when you were a child.

Cancer nurtures and protects, and a lover feels safe getting physical with Cancer. You may go crazy from his Moon-driven moodiness, but when it comes to doing the deed, Cancer offers a banquet of sensations because he is so responsive.

A mother nurtures to make her children grow healthy and strong. In the bedroom, Cancer men and women nurture either to get good sex or to begin building a home together that includes good sex.

Cancer is acutely aware of offering something in order to reap the rewards. His concerns for lovers and caretaking are sincere but not altruistic. A Cancerian expects you to intuit exactly what he wants and gets very cranky when you prove not be a mind reader. Then he turns on the guilt.

The symbol of Cancer is the crab, and the crab sidles forward and backward and then progresses slowly forward. The crab also carries her home on her back, and penetrating a Cancerian's shell is half the game in a sexy encounter.

Crabs are land and sea creatures, and this amphibious nature is another of Cancer's quirks. She longs to swim in oceans of feeling but snaps to attention at the demands of the practical earth. Nostalgic yearning is part of her romantic and sexual charm.

The sweetness that Cancerians have will not show at the first meeting or first fling. There may be lots of feeling and hot sexual action, but the true expression of Cancer's sexuality takes a while to develop and always requires making love in a homey environment.
