There are many ways to say you feel sexual desire. Some are clear, some are playful, and some make it sound as though you have developed a minor plumbing problem. Choose according to your audience.
Clear and ordinary
Turned on is direct and familiar. Aroused is more clinical, useful when clarity matters more than charm. In the mood is gentler, although a partner may reasonably ask which mood you mean.
“I want you” is not a synonym in the dictionary sense, but it often communicates the point more elegantly than an extended search for one.
Playful, when you both enjoy it
Frisky has an affectionate, slightly comic tone. Got the hots for you sounds cheerfully dated; this can be part of its appeal. Feeling spicy may work in a private joke, though it could also be a request to change dinner.
Thirsty often describes obvious eagerness for attention, while down bad can suggest being embarrassingly infatuated or desperate. Neither is a precise substitute for aroused. Tone does much of the work.
Words that mean something broader
Besotted describes infatuation. Entranced suggests fascination. Passionate may refer to desire, affection, or a surprisingly forceful opinion about coffee. Worked up could mean excited, anxious, or angry, so context is advisable before anyone changes the lighting.
No vocabulary makes an invitation self-explanatory. Say what you mean, allow the other person to answer, and avoid treating their response as a judgment on your phrasing.
Sometimes the best line is simply, “Would you like some time together?” It is unlikely to win a poetry prize. It does, however, leave very little for the household to misinterpret.
