Have you matched with someone on the HER app yet? The flirty banter might be hot, but how can you make sure the chemistry is there when you meet up? Well, sometimes you just gotta ask! We know that’s not the easiest task, but we’re here to help you out with a list of spicy questions to ask on a first date that will reveal if your match can light the fire within. 🔥
Different personalities require different methods. If you’re a little shy, try going for innuendos or phrasing it like an innocent question, which could get a spicy answer if the other person catches it. If you’re the bold type, then you should have no problem with going straight to the point and asking exactly what you want to know.
The crucial part here is to consider your date’s boundaries, you don’t want to make the other person uncomfortable. Some tips for covering that part are:
Let’s get ready for the first round of conversation topics with your new boo. This section is all about the sweet and personal questions that will make them stop and think for an extra second.
Their answer could be a dangerous hike through a National Park or wearing a full pleather suit in bed, which will tell you a lot about them with a simple sentence.
Is it binge-watching the last 3 seasons of Glee for the 17th time, or is it a secret fetish? Either answer will keep you wondering more and more.
Knowing what makes them feel confident is key to making intimacy work!
For example, some people can roll their tongues into unusual shapes or play the piano like a pro, and those powers might be useful later if the date goes well.
How about some breakfast in bed, wink wink.
Ready to get raunchier? Set the mood and turn the heat up with these really spicy questions!
Long legs, luscious lips, seductive eyes, so many options! If they’re into you, they’ll probably mention something about you, so use that information as you please.
Take notes, and make sure to add it to your playlist, bestie!
It can go from a new way to set the mood or innovative foreplay, to the wildest fantasy in their bucket list, so buckle up!
It could be your next date night perfume choice, the perfect aromatic candle to enhance the atmosphere, or even a dessert that can go before the “main course”.
When you ask this, don’t forget to mention that you’re a visual learner.
Allow yourselves to fantasize about them and build up the tension so you can put those positions to the test.
Whether it’s a parking lot in the car or in the middle of the forest, even just the living room couch, you’ll get an idea of what you’re getting into.
Take those Halloween costumes for a year-round spin and spice things up with your acting skills.
Better than a Yelp review, this can also give you a look into how they see themselves or what they want to achieve in bed.
Time to hurry and let out all that sexual energy you’ve been accumulating for the whole date!
“I love playing question games with my husband. You get so many good ideas about what they might be into or want to try. Like 98% of the time the game ends with super fun sex.”

“Here is what I’ve found works most of the time (mileage may vary), start with this: ‘Can I ask you a question about sex?’. My wife will say yes almost every time, but just asking for permission allows her a moment to switch gears and relax.”
“I’m queer, but my experience is mostly with cis-hetero men, definitely, the root of the issue is that straight people have been taught a script to follow. TV, books, porn, and even sex education is targeted to cis-straight people. First you kiss, penis is hard, penis goes in and out vagina, sperm and you’re done. Queer people have to learn by themselves how to have sex, what they like, how they want to be touched etc, without a strict guideline. So it’s a given there has to be communication.”

Remember to prioritize your and your date’s comfort at all times, be aware of social cues, and, most importantly, have safe fun and enjoy meeting up with your HER match. 😉
