Does the red nail theory really work to get more sex?

To be honest, we could all use a bit more sex in our lives from time to time. Or am I going to get raised eyebrows and shocked looks for saying something controversial? Probably not, because this is just how it is. In our busy lives, where you have to work for your money, keep up with your skincare, try out hobbies, and still find time to sleep, there’s hardly any time left for that. But it should be. And when you finally have an evening, your partner is not in the mood again. We can’t always roll sixes in life, but there’s something that seems to work: painting your nails red.

First of all: red does something to you

The theory is actually simple: men find women with red nails more attractive. That red should add a bit of spice, making them suddenly want to devour you like a pastry. It sounds superficial that he gets more excited when your nails look nice, but there’s actually a deeper thought behind it. Red has been the color of passion, love, and desire for centuries. Just think of red lipstick and Valentine’s Day. Red gives you an intense passion boost right away because the color reminds you of life. It’s the color of blood, which literally raises your heart rate and excites you. It’s the color of fire and everything that says: I love life. That color immediately draws attention. The result? Long glances and more flirting. The recipe for more sex, then.

The secret of those red nails

It may seem like those red nails don’t do much for your guy, but secretly it has a big impact. With red nails, you unconsciously start to behave more elegantly, especially if your intention is to have a steamy night. That man sees that you’re moving differently. You don’t just plop down on the couch, but you sit down gracefully. Maybe you lift your leg a bit higher, so your skirt rides up a little. Because of that red, you’re going to feel more confident. You are the gift today that is going to be unwrapped – and he should know that too.

So it’s not just literally the color that attracts him, but mainly how you’re going to feel and behave because of it. Because you know what you want to achieve, you’re going to feel better. You put on a nice outfit that makes you feel good. You’re a bit more playful, and that little bit of confidence is going to be convincing enough to dive into bed today. Even if your boyfriend is tired or has to quickly do something on the laptop. The moment you appear in the doorway in that red dress, he knows enough.

But okay. It draws attention, but do you really get more sex from it?

Yes, dear people, it really works. Of course, it’s not that a man immediately gets a hard-on when he sees red nails. It’s about the whole package: a beautiful woman with red nails catches his attention. The red color ignites passion, and your behavior seals the deal. As you’re drawn to each other like magnets, there’s more eye contact and real flirting. This will all lead to real action. Now that you’ve teased him all evening, you can seize your chance right at dusk. You show yourself, and men appreciate that. Once those naughty heels are on, you won’t take them off. They like that too, by the way. If you keep them on for a while.

So yes: that red nail theory really works. Now it’s not that you have an alarm hanging behind you that blares: “I want sex!”, but they definitely send a signal. Just try it, who knows if you’ll ever get out of bed again.
