The art of making a booty call
Many animals have the courtship display. Peacocks show luxurious feathers, pigeons coo and puff their feathers, others communicate with scent. People are familiar with several forms of sex invitations, and the list is getting longer every day. How do you show your partner that you want to have sex at a given moment?
Some choose a simple method and do not beat around the bush; in my experience, men are more susceptible to this. Maybe they pack the invitation to sex in "Is there going to be any action today? Will you open your legs? Are we going to iron the sheets?" or simply "Are we going to have sex?" And even more straightforward - a photo of a penis on one of the dating networks. Sometimes, it works, but often, women are not the most comfortable with a direct invitation.
Women are less likely to express the invitation to sex in the above way, but if we do, this technique probably brings us more success than all the others, given the male language. And there's something else about this way that makes men lose their heads. In a good way. However, women tend to use other ways, which are sometimes signals so well hidden that even the best detective in the world would not perceive them. Often, it's a new dress, a new sexy nightgown, a new lingerie set, candles, a surprise dinner, and a bottle of wine. New perfumes, fresh linens, and other ambiguous things are less noticeable.
But an invitation to have sex is always a pretty tricky thing, even after years of ironing the sheets together. On the one hand, there is a fear that we will expose ourselves to the question and ultimately be rejected. Women like to rely on men to be able to read what we want to tell them through certain actions. Probably, men only use it on Valentine's Day when they prepare dinner and buy a bouquet and a gift with always a clear desire for sex. But it's usually the other way around. We are the ones who try to give a smoke signal and rely on our partner to smell it. When he doesn't, he usually ends up on his side of the bed at night.
What about when we don't see our bedfellows every day and meet them occasionally but still know them better than a one-night stand? I would say that it is difficult. Especially since we don't know shit about the situations and states in which another person is in. Recognition of physical signs is disabled; we can only rely on our knowledge of the human being in front of us and, in all likelihood, knowledge of the schedule. However, we can choose not to pay attention to the answer and go with the flow. But that's not the case for most people because, unfortunately, no one in this world is likely to tolerate rejection the best, especially if it's such a fragile and intimate thing as sex.
Some information about the desire of a man screaming for sex can be obtained through pictures, videos, and gifs. If a person on the opposite side of the phone responds well, we are probably on the right track if the moon participates in the evening. But what the hell when such people rarely consider same-day sex? It's usually last-minute calls or planning long beforehand. The first can be a problem for people with a busy schedule, and the second for people who do not know what they will do the same evening, let alone in a week. Even more, the situation can get complicated also by trying to find a perfect place for having sex. At that point, we did not yet take into account bad feelings, illness, fatigue, and similar things that can spoil our chance to have sex.
Regardless of which technique we take, the invitation to sex is probably the biggest obstacle for people who live together as well as those who are a little further apart. It is most often conquerable, but at the same time, we probably sweat more than we sweat later on while in the real action. We have to put more or less effort into the invitation, depending on our situation, but in any case, we risk rejection. If we need to improve at accepting rejections or have repeatedly heard them in the past, this can be a big problem. At that moment, one abandons the courtship display.
Pinching the buttocks, stroking the thighs, lustful messages, dinners, bouquets, perfumes. Humans are masters at inventing new ways of mating dance. Rarely are we satisfied with just a simple direct invitation to sex. Animals can hide; we are the masters of making a mountain out of a molehill.

Thanks for this reminder about the differences in courtship between me and women.
My favourite way is to write – perhaps even with pen and paper – a short erotic tale that hints at ways we might connect. The imagination is the greatest thing and sparking that is a wonderful invitation to sex and sensuality.
