Although she is receptive, she will never make the first move. She is much too shy, and she is also afraid that if she emerges too far from her shell, she will meet with criticism. She has to be encouraged in the subtlest way until her erotic imagination is freed of its inhibitions. She has to be shown that she can act in love as she really feels, respond with the kind of actions that will strongly excite a man, and not fear the promptings of her own libido.
Her sensitive nature is much influenced by the attitude of her partner. If he is understanding, sympathetic, kind, considerate, she will unfold to him as a flower does to the warming rays of the sun. But it is all too easy to frighten her into a shy and secretive retirement with a harsh word or a wrong gesture or expression. The shell of her self-confidence cracks too easily.

She can be a marvelous lover, for she is capable of intense sensuality. The joy she feels on the release of previous restraints will delight any man. She will reciprocate passion with a fervor that will stir his heart and stimulate him to his best performance. She may even become a slave to sexual pleasure once she has achieved it.

During the early stages of lovemaking, try to appeal to her strong maternal and sentimental side, for this will heighten and deepen the power of the subsequent sexual union.
However, always remember that with this woman the time and occasion also have to be right. Don't expect to make out in the back seat of a car. She must believe that you care, and you must be in a place where she's entirely comfortable.

Her own nest is best, for home is her terrain. (Your place will do only if she's been there often enough not to feel like a stranger.) In fact, when the big night arrives, she will probably invite you to dinner at her place. Count your lucky stars and forget to count calories. Dinner will be marvelous, and there will be candlelight dinner and good music. Don't be too aggressive, though, or you may never get from the dining room into the bedroom.

When she takes off her clothes for the first time, she expects to be told how lovely she is. Cancer women dote on admiration. A compliment is fully as important as any other preliminary, and you know already that she isn't going to be like rushed. In love, unlike the racetrack, the race is not always to the swift.

When she begins to lose some of her inhibitions, she likes to see and fondle male genitalia and to let her lover's testicles dangle in the palm of her hand. She also inflicts love bites on the inside of her thigh, high up near the crotch.

Another ambiance that works is the beach at night, especially by the light of the silvery moon. The magnetic rays of her ruling satellite dazzle her, the pounding surf deafens her with nature's melody. She is apt to shed all her inhibitions and reveal a side of her nature you never knew existed-wanton and wild and wonderful.

The fully sensual Cancer woman likes to anoint her fingers with honey or wine and caress her mate's sex organ until it becomes a steeple. Her touch is as light and gentle as a leaf falling. Her fingers slowly climb the steeple until it quivers with ecstatic readiness. Sometimes she stops there and helps her partner to masturbate. Sometimes she will slowly suck off the honey or wine until climax occurs. Most often she will just stop short of completion in order to mount her love and lead him on to orgasm.

Sometimes she heightens oral intercourse for the male with a flavored douche-or sometimes she insists that her partner coat his penis with some flavoring. For reasons I haven't been able to discover, lemon, lime, and strawberry are favorites to titillate her taste buds.

Favorite position: lying prone while the man enters her from behind. That satisfies her innate modesty-she doesn't have to been seen having an orgasm-and also pleases a latent Cancerian desire to rub her buttocks against the man.

Cancer women are moody, and when they don't feel like having conventional sex they are often quite inventive. One woman of my acquaintance, when indisposed, still satisfies her lover by taking a jar and stuffing it with rags that have been soaked in heavy olive oil or mineral oil that serve as an artificial vagina. So far, she tells me, no complaints!

Cancer females are not as rule subject to extreme sexual variations. However, when they are, they are likeliest to show up as a facet of her strong maternal instinct. For example, she may turn to pedophelia and have intercourse with very young boys. They are also drawn toward incest. I recall an unhappy young Cancer woman, quite attractive, telling me that when her mother gave birth to a brother some eight years younger than she, her first thought on looking at him in the hospital nursery had been that now she had someone "built in" she could make love with. When she was twenty years old, she succeeded in achieving her long-suppressed desire.

Since many Caner women feel men are too rough in their lovemaking, they are also occasionally drawn to their own sex. In lesbian affairs, they tend to take the female role.
In a further reaction to male "roughness," some Cancer women prefer masturbation. When a dildo is not available, they are practical enough to use whatever artificial aid is-the sausage, the cucumber, or, in season, the banana.

Don't look for a once-over-lightly romance with this man. He takes amour far too seriously. What he wants from his beloved is mental and physical stimulation in about equal measure. Intensely loyal, he demands absolute loyalty in return. He believes in a lasting affection-the kind that looks on tempests and is never shaken. That's his prescription for peace of mind.

He is no gadabout. The pleasure of hearth and home are best for him. He thinks compatibility begins in the home and contentment grows in his own backyard. But he does have a tendency toward self-satisfaction that borders on smugness, and a blind spot about the one he loves. I know one Cancer male who actually encouraged his girl friend to go off an overnight car trip with a very attractive man. She was going to visit her mother, and he saw no reason to worry. Much later, after he married her, he discovered that she had spent the night in a motel room with her driving companion. He was so disturbed that he went to a psychoanalyst, who could not convince him that he had in any way contributed to the "betrayal." He never forgave her, and shortly afterward they ended up in the divorce court.

Cancer male look for a long-term permanent relationship with a oman. Yet if a rupture does occur, he can move on to a new love, for he has the knack of establishing intimacy very quickly. However, anyone who has really touched his emotions will never be truly forgotten, no matter what happens later.

He is a complex individual, whose changing moods make life with him anything but easy-and anything but dull. His tenacity of purpose is a good omen for success, and his sensitivity and intellect make him a natural leader in politics, literature, and bsiness.
Warning: Beware of him on those nights of the full moon.
