What turns on the Cancer man?

CancerThe easiest way to a man’s heart may be through his stomach, but the most sure-fire way to fire up his loins is via the breasts. And both the tummy and boobs are ruled by Cancer.

Cancer governs the mother-infant bond, and the newborn connects with his or her mother through suckling. Freud broke taboos when he suggested that babies are sexual beings, and some mothers may not admit that they derive sensual pleasure from breastfeeding, but it’s often true. The breasts signify maternal nurturance, and they are also erogenous zones.

What exactly is it about boobs that turns men on? Is it an instinctual response to identify the best mother for his progeny? A sociocultural imprint influenced by mass media? Or just a desire to once again feel maternal comfort as an adult?

I don’t know. But if a home-cooked meal doesn’t get your Cancer man hot, take off your apron and feed him the old-fashioned way.

Comment below: How do you turn your Cancer man on?

    Ok so I have been talking to the Cancerian guy for about 7 months now….. we met in college years ago and just reconnected one day on fb! I am a Cancer woman and am falling hard for this guy! He says the right things and I feel knows me better than any other guy I have ever met. It is scarey how much we have in common…..no really we have come to find out that he is the male version of me and vise versa! We have slept together a couple of times and it was great we are uber attracted to each other and I have to say I agree that he is a boob and butt guy!!!! I have a pretty jacked up body image but he is always telling me how beautiful my body is and how nice my boobs are and my butt! Although we live a state apart he has come to visit a couple of times and I am about to go visit him next week, i feel clsoer to him that any man that I could have in arms reach. I just dont know for sure yet if I should trust my gut and tell him how I feel about him. He is always telling me how much he misses me and just wants to be near me and wishes we lived closer to one another. I want to move closer to him, but am bound by my ex and our children same for him. I am at my witts end on ideas…….any suggestions? P.S I could totally see myself with this man the rest of my life!

    How cool…I can only imagine how terrific you must feel…. does it feel like he is also speaking for you? as if he is expressing what you feel for him. When I was married I persued my husband like a stocker (I am a cancer chick and he is an aquarius anus) when he did not return the affection or let me know how he felt for me, well…I went looking somewhere else. I did not wake up and decided to cheat. I was just sad all the time. (many years–for the record) Then my co-worker would look at me like I would look at my husband, my co-worker would flirted just like I would. well, I got so turned on, I went straight to my husband to have sex, just to find out he thought I was too horny lately, and I might be cheating on him. huh??? WTF…..so I cheated. the marriage is obviously over. many moons later, many signs after…I got me a Cancer Hunk, and I remember how I felt when I was persuing my x, so now I am receiprocal. When he expresses so much attraction and emotions, I put myself in his shoes, and find myself remembering when my feelings and affections were not returned. I am not scared he will cheat, I would just hate to know that I caused him the same pain that I felt in my past relationships. I was the first one to tell him I loved him, he was shocked and warned me not to use those words too lightly. in fact I do, “I love everything and everyone” But because I learned that it is better to say what is in my mind, my heart and even my “gut”. even if I dont get it in returned, I feel like I did not leave any stones unturned. I know what I said is what I felt and feel. and the only thing that would prove my love for him is my fidelity. because we feel the same for eachother, I have no need and no curiosity to look elsewhere. So what do you have to loose, at least you wont regret not doing something for the relationship like “expressing your feelings”. Loving is not hard, only when your love is “conditional”. I dont know for you but, let him know what will bring you happiness (his faithfulness, and his trust in you) absolutely no cheating! and no assuptions of anyone cheating! (for me of course) I wish you and him to have a super romantic time together…have fun!

    i’m with this cancer guy. i’m an aries female, and i’m starting to fall for him. he understands me. we have allot in common and i like that fact. we have almost everything in common. He understands me emotionally. which is GREAT! He’s amazing!

  4. cancerian86 says:

    I’m a cancer male and, although I do consider myself more of a butt guy, whenever I come across a generous display of breasts my eyes instantly wander down. Almost never fails.

  5. LibraLady says:

    ariesvenuschick
    Thats fantastic. I’ve never met a Cancer-Aries couple. Yes, those guys can feel your emotions. They are all heart, be careful, he will think with his heart first. They are terrible shoppers, all for you and nothing for themselves. You have to remind them, I mean push them to look after themselves. My Sag brother is married to an Aries woman, she is so good for him, she won’t let him pout or doubt himself or neglect his own needs. I have never seen him smile so much.
    I hope it works out for you. Oh, I should warn you, they don’t take hints well, if you want them to do something you have to tell them. For years I heard my dad telling my mom that. “If you wanted that why didn’t you just tell me.” Its a lot easier like that. They won’t guess, they either know or they don’t. No patients to take the time to reflect on it. The love is strong and with kids, they will do anything for their kids. And for you.

  6. laura lee says:

    well,i’ve been involved with my cancerian indulgence for 9 months now and i must say,it’s been QUITE THEE ODYSSEY!!! He’s the man i’ve been fantasizing about all my life,and at times i forget how my life was before he completely changed it.so much can be said about this man but i’m too lazy to type lol!he’s just TOO BLOODY AMAZING FOR WORDS!Oh,and did i mention that i’m also under the cancer zodiac sign?his birthday’s two days before mine-the similarities are quite evident,@ times i feel like we’re the same person. . .he’s just the more mature one.i honestly believe he was specifically designed for me,before him i was TERRIFIED of commitment,let alone on a long-term basis,but he has gradually changed that.i actually see myself being his wife and the mother of his kids.i regard him as my first love in many different ways and can’t imagine living without him to embrace life with me.i’m truly blessed!and it doesn’t hurt that our sex life’s just meteoric lol.we’re in-sync,i don’t have to hide who i am to him.i’m @ peace when i’m with him,i can be vulnerable and let him take care of me,not many people are as fortunate as i am.a new word needs to be conceived cos the word love just doesn’t do what i feel for him any justice anymore :) and that’s real talk

  7. passionatescorp40 says:

    hell..they probably don’t even know..their so damn confusing.

  8. laluna73 says:

    what’s so confusing? We love tasty food, we love to touch, and are oral people and this is how we feel ”turned on” smile, smile

  9. Passionate Libra says:

    I’m a Libra female and I’ve been on and off playing this roller-coaster ride with a cancer for 9 months now. I say Finally, but you never know with him. It’s crazy one day we are doing great the other its a fight till death.

    Needless to say I’ve pulled every string I possibly can w/ this cancer (this being the second cancer I’ve dated) and LIBRAS & CANCERS Do NOT do well romantically…

    …even thought my heart loves him, and I always think about him… it’s just not a good healthy match. :(

  10. Jackie says:

    I met a Cancer man online. Things have been going well & he’s a sweetheart. The problem I have is that he is not clear when I would like him to be. The last time he messaged me was Oct 2. I had mentioned being confused as to why he was saying he was interested but not responding to messages. He reassures me that he likes me as I am. He also mentioned that he too is a lil confused, has not been in a relationship for 5 years (a previous relationship he was in was 7 years…he is 31 years old & he has been in Canada from Russia for a lil over 3 years), so he admits it’s a lil scary to start over but he really wants a new person in his life & just needs some more time. Here I am 2.5 weeks later wondering if I will hear from him again. I have messaged him to let him know that I am here & will wait until he makes a decision.

    Can anyone give advice on this?

  11. LALUNA73 says:

    Hope this helps….
    He sounds busy, and has found other interests (Canada, Russia) He would probably need/wants someone who shares his field (work/interest). To me,…”It’s scary” because, he won’t commit to something he is not 100% happy and safe and sure about. He needs a hand to hold, he is rusty in this area of romance. (smile). I think as “PEOPLE” we need friends to help us decide. He is not putting to much effort, cuzz he doesn’t know what he wants yet (with you). If you befriend him first, you’ll make him comfortable and he’ll open up (at his pace–just like anybody in the world–at our pace). Reassure him “only friends”. Your feelings, your priorities…”YOU” are more important..what do you want to do? slooowly waaait for him to come around, then for him to confess to you he “digs” some other ‘star sign’. He put up his wall first–did you notice? then it was too fast….now “he’s confused” (ha, ha! what ever dude!)…He will respond if you mention others things happening in your life. BUT DON’T MENTION A HINT OF “ROMANCE”!! Advice: find something you dont like or agree with him….it is easier to let go of him. (smile)

  12. Jackie says:

    Thanks for the advice, although I would prefer if it was more clear.

    Yuri works as a farm worker so he can save money. From what he’s told me, he works long days & it keeps him busy. He has 1 friend (Scott) there he has mentioned, who is the only person who understands his accent & his english.
    He wants to go to school to work with computers. Since I am in the city he wants to live & go to school in I offered to get him information about the course he wants to take. He really appreciated my doing that for him.
    So far it has now been 3 weeks & the messages still sit unread. I sent him a message saying that I don’t mind waiting but it’s the not knowing that is bothering me. Also that when he is ready we can talk. How long should it take for him to respond if he’s going to? It also seems like he was bringing up the relationship/romance talk first. We have flirted with each other in chat.
    Am I wasting my time waiting for him to come around?

  13. LALUNA73 says:

    English accent?!? How intruiging. A Farmer?!?! How interesing and exciting. Well there you have it. He has different priorities. Stablishing himself is top priority and it takes early hours, late nights and long weeks, maybe he is physically tired and needs to get sleep. His health is also a priority. Sure he wants to go to school to better his future and be properous. You just happen to meet him in the process, he is sharing his ideal goals with you, because maybe he is looking for support, you know, a “cheerleader” (smile). We all support our friends when they need us, in the same way, you can encourage him with your feedback. Also, very important, what do you consider a waste of time? how much time and effort are you investing that he is not aware of. A good friend of my once said ” We are powerless over people, places, and things” and “This too, shall pass” (smile). Maybe you are not wasting your time, maybe you are just thinking about him….often. and maybe thinking about him is exhausting you, and maybe because you have not heard from him, it feels like a waste of time.

  14. Jackie says:

    Lol, Yuri has a thick Russian accent & his english needs work from what he has said. He is a “farm worker” (he’s corrected me twice on that). My concern is that he has not read the messages but my outbox lets me know if they are read, unread, & unread deleted…so I guess unread is for now a good thing.
    He seemed surprised & quite thankful that I was willing to go out of my way to get him the information for school. I told him that I don’t see it as doing anything extraordinary or special….just helping someone out.
    In previous chats we got around to talking about family. He told me how many siblings he has & what his parents did for a living. Also he mentioned that I remind him of his ex, who he was with for 7 years (before being single for 5 years & coming to Canada).
    I am not thinking I am wasting my time with him. I am a Pisces & usually get a feeling if I am going to get hurt or not. I have told him that my intuition is telling me he is a good person & also that my intuition is saying I won’t get hurt. Also I have told him that I do not mind waiting but it is the not knowing that is bothering me. I made sure to be clear that I think waiting in this case is worthwhile. Is this the right way to reassure him?
    2 of the hardest things in life are waiting for the right moment & the courage to accept that you’ve waited for nothing. With that said I am a coward & would really like to believe I am not waiting for nothing in this case.
    It would be nice if he would read messages already. In our last chat he asked me to get Skype so we can talk/meet face to face finally. Originally he was concerned about talking to me because he was concerned I wouldn’t be able to understand him. Naturally I just told him to talk slowly, use easy words until I get a ear for his accent & to please not get excited because that would make his accent worse. So he promised we’d talk as soon as he gets time.

  15. Justin says:

    I’m a Sagittarius male with a cancer male. The cancer seems allot more emotionally distant at time when they actually are not, in fact they think just as much as a Scorpio..it’s just getting them to talk about it is the issue. He broke up with his X, who he stills loves (witch is understandable.) He’s holding me up to his X’s ways…is there any hope? Or am I just setting myself up for disappointment?

  16. jessica says:

    well im a cancer and my husband is to we have the best relationship ever we get along to good and somtimes its scary….lol.he is very funny they are sweet and would do anything for u just dont ever do something where they cant trust u they distance themselves from u.cant shop worth a dam…lol very loyal and open man i gues u can say there kinda like prince charmings with a funny humor side to them.if your a cancer u should really try to find another cancer it works for me and still is.o yeah very protective and they worship the ground your on very easygoing and good parents.

  17. LALUNA73 says:

    This is for Justin…
    I think he just needs to get his mind far away from his X. Cancer people love to laugh their asses off! it is an anti-depressant (smile). and as emotional people we need to be in an emtional “anything”. So he might also be on a re-bound, but for whatever reason the break up was for, he wont forget the damage. Yes there is hope, just dont try to make him talk. he just might take as a “session with a head shrinker”. Ask him about his family, or when he was a younger kid, things he used to do and like. take him to his past before he encounter a painful event with romantic relationships. this is only my personal experience and opinion, but I have better relationships when the men are my friends, when they make me laugh, and help me see the good in me when i cant. I love being treated as a friend, I think I just need people at a distant first, then when they make me feel comfortable I let my sensual side roll around free. I do forget about my horrible Xs, and start feeling sexy again.

  18. LALUNA73 says:

    Jessica,
    Are both of you opposites? I am the more “paranoid” type he (my cancer man) is the “lazy” type. He is also the sensual one in our relationship, and I am more “detail” about emotions. I am the one that “never forgets”; a place, a thing, a color, a name, a face, a taste, a smell…especially A WORD!. and he is the one the that leads with more “supernatural” instincts! I can get on a fantasy journey for days at a time, and he seems to burst my bubble with his scientific, practical, political crap! the only thing so far, that we have in common, and we dont fight about, is FOOD!! this is the only thing he can do with out me and I can do with out him. Food is our peac maker. ha, ha, ha..

  19. lowwercse says:

    Happy to have read the comments. I’m currently dating a cancer and while things went really well for the first 4 or 5 weeks of dates and parties and social outings, but over the last two weeks everything has kind of dropped off. I recently got busier with work, but when I’ve called, twice actually, it doesn’t seem like he’s trying to respond. Though, he did send me a photo/text yesterday to alert me to a fire happening in my area (I work for a newspaper). I’ll venture the excuse that his phone is acting up (he showed me calls and text messages that were intended for me that were never sent), but obviously I’m a little suspicious.

    Anyways, do you guys have any thoughts or advice? Thanks in advance.

    P.S. We recently went to a Halloween party and he recommended that I dress up as a certain pregnant movie character! Me- preggers! Only a cancer…

  24. lesliers says:

    I’m a pisces female and i seem to attract the cancers. Every long relationship i have had has been with a Cancer, including the father of my 2 year old boy. The first cancer i was with for about a year and was my high school love who broke my heart. The second cancer was the father of my baby. We were together for a little over 3 years. It was great at the beginning… i’m pretty picky when it comes to being in a relationship with someone, but once i find that someone it’s really easy for me to fall head over heals. He was kind of jealous and when we drank we would get in fights. He was EXTREMELY critical, always right (one time he actually said “well, i wouldn’t be right all the time if i wasn’t with someone who was wrong all the time” QUOTE!), and pretty much emotionally abusive (for me anyway.. i’m a pretty sensitive pisces when it comes to my loved ones talking to me like that). So it was bad news after the birth of our son, I had our boy about a year and a half of being together, but I wanted to be a big happy family so I just kept my chin up and tried to make it work. It didn’t and we’ve been apart for about 6 months now. Now ANOTHER cancer is into me and i just don’t know what to think. Should i steer clear of these cancers?! It obviously hasn’t worked out for me in the past.
    I also recently got in contact with an old flame of mine who happens to be a virgo, and it made me realize how different cancers and virgos are ( i really like(d) the virgo).

    Anyone had a great/lasting relationship between a Pisces & Cancer?

  25. laluna says:

    I had a high school friend he is a pisces, and I saw myself to be really hard on him, but just because I cared for his health I would help him and go out of my way, what would get me upset is that he would not listen and would not care for his health the way he would complain I thought he was serious. I just felt he was taking advantage of my attention and efforts to help him. when he told me he still loves me, I was turned off. So I cut him off. I have my cancer hunk and I see his critical ways. He is just like me! I dont take him personal because I understand he is only looking out for me and us as a couple. I try to make changes to please him and our relationship, but sometimes I get lazy and tell him to back off, I get what he is telling me, but to give me a break because he is pissing me off, so he does. maybe because I tell him I understand what he is trying to tell me. But for you, I think you shoul give the Virgo a chance, it is nice to meet new people. you will discover new things about you and understand different people..I say..”Have fun!”

  26. Breasts are all the rage! It’s true that breasts are powerful things. It’s still a mystery why men are so fixated with boobs, but what about men who were bottled fed? Maybe it’s just culture or tradition, I don’t know. Nice article!

  27. Archangel says:

    Ok this is easy to answer. Sincere compliments, affection, nurturing, full & partial body massages when he is stressed out or in physical pain, cooking him a home made meal and letting him help, also letting him do things to please you, let him help you fix things around the house, or help you organize things, extra bonus points if you trust him to help you decorate your home because he will feel more welcome and safe there and will visit more frequently. Keep lots of snack foods in your cupboards & fridge, add some things HE likes to eat to your grocery lists, you know hes comfortable in your home when he walks right into the kitchen and opens the snack cupboard, makes his own coffee or grabs something to munch on from the fridge without having to be prompted to do so by you.

    Ask him to help you choose your outfit before leaving with him to go somewhere, extra bonus points if he consults you about what to wear. Cancers are always the best dressed people in a crowd so he will always make sure you look fabulous. And on that note, good hygiene in general is a MUST. He takes extra care to look and smell great for you, (most cancer men are totally scratch & sniff), so return the favor.

    When you allow him to assist you with personal choices, he feels useful and needed, not to mention honored by your trust in him, and he wont let you down. He loves to cuddle on the couch and watch his favorite tv shows & movies with you, he also loves to discuss what you’re viewing while doing so, this is NOT idle conversation, he is doing it to find out who you are, what makes you tick, what turns you on, what stresses you out, what angers you and what turns you off. He pays close attention to how you react to what you see and hear, emotionally and is very observant of your body language. He picks up all of the subtle & sub-conscious cues your body gives when your heart beat speeds up or slows down, he is aware of your breathing and when you hold your breath, he feels your muscles tighten and relax, and the way you respond lets him intuitively know about your secret world inside yourself, so when it does come time to hit the sheets, don’t be surprised when he does everything perfectly without you having to tell him. ;)

    Physical attributes that are attractive to cancer men are buts, breasts (no matter the size), legs especially women who wear high heels to keep the leg muscles flexed, tanned skin, great perfume, make up, matching clothes & accessories, the way you use your voice is also very important, it’s not what you say but HOW you say it, keep that in mind in and out of the bedroom. :) Needless to say if you’ve never been with a cancer before, prepare to be completely spelled out, they are unlike any man you’ve ever had and can not be summed up or classified in any one category. Just don’t ever betray him, or fake it. He will know and he will drop you like a bad habit.

  28. PS Gemini says:

    hey ya all!! I’m a Gemini in a relation with typical cancer man..after reading all ur comments,I felt I was not the only one going through this cancer’s mood swings lol..actually he was way too caring before I mean way too caring :) and I felt he was the most romantic man alive on this world (poor me) but now I feel he don’t give enough time for me.He’s still so charming that I cannot leave him & move on with my life o__0
    they say that gemini and cancer is a horrible combination..because every time I ask him questions (same question again & again) and text him every single time but he being a cancerian don’t reply me most of the time..He just keep quiet and that pisses me off !! I love to talk and he keeps quiet everytime..indeed a horrible combo..
