To find out if a man is good in bed, take an interest in his zodiac sign. Capricorn.

The Capricorn man never tries to hide his interest in you. He avoids being in the center of the company and can often stay away altogether, but if he chooses you from among the others, he will make it clear in the most direct way. It is quite natural if once on a date Capricorn stroked your knee under the table. Women who know Capricorns intimately know that this act is a moderate way for a Capricorn man to show his interest. In fact, his sexual demands are very high, since the representatives of the sign of Capricorn themselves are too demanding. Such men are characterized by various sexual experiments, including cruel ones that can cause real physical suffering. However, this should not be seen as a real threat. Capricorns tend to plan everything in advance, including painting a sexual program, so that nothing unexpected is expected in it, something that could get out of your man’s control. First of all, Capricorns appreciate your efforts to satisfy all his needs, but this process should be kept within strict limits, since Capricorns often do not know the measure in their intimate desires and can go too far.
