Which tarot card equates to sex? Casual or otherwise?

Just wondering as I'm doing readings at a party of, well, slutty people on friday night.

I can't think of any card that means "you will have casual sex" or, in fact, any sexual overtones in the cards (except the threesome in the Lovers card!). It will be interesting to look out for this in the readings on friday night, though.

Oh, I'm using the Rider-Waite deck, by the way.

The magician, followed by the emperor then the chariot... ??? Maybe the fool?

Well, I am sure the Lovers gets mistaken for this alot, it is possible, but I would go with the Art card for that alchemical mingling booty call.

Depends on what kind of sex you want.

Allure and environmentally manipulated sex appeal is The World. Selfish, self-gratifying, or S&M sex is The Tower. Sex between individuals and true-friend lovers that involves laughter and passion is Temperance. Cross-Spiritual/Physical archetypical fucking is Strength.

Best to mix several cards.

Ace of cups is a new romantic episode, Queen of Wands is the most sexual of the court cards, three of cups implies indulgence and revelry (maybe a three way), Two of cups is likely to result in a shag, the Devil has a lot to do with carnality and bondage.
Cups and Wands are probably most relevant, but just look at the pictures and you'll see which cards are sexy. It's likely a lot of court cards will come up, representing the people, probably in the positions that suit.
Why not invent a spread for the purpose of the party? A simple one with positions like 'what you want' 'who you fancy' 'where will it lead' and suchlike. Then you won't have to look so hard for the sexual side of the card, it'll be the position (fnar).

Look out for the;

Six of wands (http://www.learntarot.com/w6.htm) with the guy riding a horse with his 'lance' proudly spearing upwards, meaning:
triumphing,
having your day in the sun
walking away with the prize
prevailing against all comers
coming out on top
achieving success

and

the seven of cups (http://www.learntarot.com/c7.htm) with the dream cups in the cloud full of desirables meaning-
debauchery
creating fantasies
dreaming
getting caught up in illusions
letting your imagination run wild

and

the four of wands (http://www.learntarot.com/w4.htm) with the people partying in the bower, meaning-
feeling excited
bubbling over with delight
feeling thrilled
look forward expectantly
getting caught up in the moment
feeling jubilant
relishing the moment
being surprised
