Scorpios are highly sexual beings, and they're incredibly sexy. They're magnetic, but they're also hard to read. They're slow to fall in love (and super attached once they do), but they have a powerful sex drive.
All these things can make it a challenge to tell if a Scorpio is sexually attracted to you or they're just doing their typical magnetic smolder thing that's part of their being. Fortunately, we're here with the signs a Scorpio is sexually attracted to you to help you make sense of this mysterious sign.
They Look for Excuses to Touch You
Scorpios definitely have touch as one of their love languages. So while they're smoldering away and you're wondering specifically what that's all about, see if they make excuses to touch you. They might brush your arm lightly, place a hand on the small of your back, or brush a lock of hair off your forehead, for instance.
They Make Intense Eye Contact
Scorpios are intense anyway, but when they really lay the eye contact on thickly, it can be a sign of sexual attraction. So if they're giving you long, sexy stares that they don't seem to be offering up to everyone else, it's probably a pretty good sign there's some sexual interest there.
They Share Lots of Personal Details (& Ask About Yours)
Scorpios always have an air of mystery — it's just part of their nature. They don't share a lot until they really trust someone. So if a Scorpio is asking you a ton of questions about yourself and offering some intimate details about their own lives, it could be a sign of sexual interest. Intimacy is a precursor to sex for Scorpios, so if they're attempting intimate conversations, it could mean they find you sexually attractive.
They Make Innuendos
Sexy innuendos and suggestions from a Scorpio are almost always a surefire sign they're totally into you and looking for something more than casual friendship. While they won't necessarily blatantly proposition you (although they might), if they're making tons of little innuendos, it could be a sign.
They Tell You
Once you've earned their trust, Scorpios can be extremely direct. And if they want something, they have a ton of confidence, so they aren't afraid to go after it. And thank goodness for this. Scorpios aren't game players, and sometimes the best way to know they're interested in you is because they tell you that in no uncertain terms.
They Act Protective of You
Scorpios are extremely protective of the people they trust. And since sex is all about trust for a Scorpio, if they act protective of you, it's often a sign of interest.

They Act Jealous
If your Scorpio interest gets a little fussy when others flirt with you or give you too much attention, it's probably a sign of sexual interest. Scorpios want to possess their lovers — not in a creepy, stalker kind of way, but more in a deep intimacy kind of way. So when you see them getting miffed by attention from others, it's very likely a sign of sexual interest.
They Draw You Off to a Quiet Corner
In social situations, a Scorpio who is showing sexual interest will pull you away from the crowd so you can have an intimate conversation. It's Scorpio's way of creating intimacy so they can get to know you better.
They Stick to Your Side at Gatherings
When you're out socializing, a Scorpio who is attracted to you will keep finding their way to your side, no matter who you're talking to. It's their way of marking their territory and letting others know they should back off a little.
You Feel Their Eyes Follow You Around a Room
If your Scorpio crush isn't actively following you at a gathering, their eyes will always be on you. They'll know exactly who you're talking to and what you're doing because they can be a little possessive. Scorpio quietly observes from the shadows a lot, particularly those things that they're the most fascinated by.
They'll Ask Others About You
Scorpio is slow to trust, so they like to get a lot of intel before they dive in with anyone. So if a Scorpio has been asking people you know about you, it's a good sign that they're interested in more than just a casual thing.

They'll Know Details About You That Surprise You
Maybe you mentioned something in passing and Scorpio remembers it, or maybe they asked some of your friends about you (or heck, they're not above doing a little social media stalking to gather intel). But whatever the reason, Scorpio will tell you or ask you about things you're surprised they know. We promise — it's usually not creepy. It's just part of Scorpio's MO as they determine whether they want to pursue an intimate partnership with someone.
They Let You Into Their Inner Circle
It's no small thing when a Scorpio invites you into their inner circle. These secretive souls don't open up to many people, so if you're one of their chosen ones, it's very special indeed.
They Invite You to Spend More Time Together
Scorpios are natural introverts. So if a Scorpio wants to spend time with you and goes out of their way to do so, it can be a sign of sexual interest.
Signs a Scorpio Is Sexually Attracted to You
Scorpios that are sexually attracted to you will let you know in both subtle and not-so-subtle ways. They do so in ways that indicate physical and emotional intimacy since it's intimacy that Scorpio craves above almost anything else. So if they're showing subtle (or not-so-subtle) signs of intimacy with you, they're probably attracted.
