I would say a lottt of looking whenever they do get the chance to talk. Like, their conversations seem so weak because they can’t stop looking up and down.
Mirroring and open body language towards each other, smirks, heavy eye contact that lasts longer than what most would be comfortable with in a normal situation. Banter and flirting.
A lot of minor touch and eye contact. I had this with the guy I dated before. We’re in relatively conservative country, absolutely no PDA in public. I also don’t do casual sex so we didn’t sleep together before we both sure we wanted to commit to long term. But the sexual tension was there the whole time. He’d make innocent physical touch, like moving my hair away from my face, putting his hand on my lower back, longer hello/goodbye hugs, playing with the ends of my hair or the edges of my clothes. From my end, I’d rub his back few times in passing, ran my fingers on his arm while asking about his arm tattoo, fixed his hair while running my hand on his scalp for a bit; small seemingly innocent touches.
All that, or if they keep looking at each other but refuse to aknowledge one another. Something going on between them too.
There’s a duo I often meet in my husband’s work circle. Both of them are in the process of divorcing. They are always teasing each other, seating next to each other. When he speaks to her, he has this softer expression and a smirk. It’s like they have to pronounce their name as often as possible.
The first time I met them, I asked my husband if they were banging. He replied: surely one day.
Otherwise they never touch each other (absolutely no physical contact). Still, the tension is thick
Lowkey like banter where they just go back and fourth. And they’re joking but you can tell theres something in their tone thats different from strictly friendly banter. If you’re lucky you might even catch an «oh yeah?»
I have a female friend whose voice changes when greeting me, almost always sits across from me when seated at a table in groups, compliments my appearance and initiates physical contact with me—including placing her hand on mine when showing me how to play darts and other bar games.
However, she is married, and her SO is in the groups that we hang out with, so I read the gestures as an outgoing extrovert showing her shy, quiet friend how to loosen up and have fun, and nothing deeper than that.

Have you ever been around two people and it’s obvious to you that they want to bang.

One of them starts to mimic the mating dance of the sandhill crane, or in cases of serious tension, the red capped manakin.

When in a group when everyone laughs they will look at each other
Prolonged eye contact by both people.
What are you all talking about? Bonobo language?

Body language, they face each other and have open postures, when sat in a group they’ll orientate to face each other, lots of mutual eye contact.
erection will be sign alright
Those eyes thats says ” i want to see you naked “

They bang each other doggy style, that usually tells it.
Hard to describe, but I feel like it definitely has signs that lead to that assumption.
“Hello TV-san”
“Hello Lamp-san”
The eye contact.
Each one will look extra long at the other, but when their eyes meet, both divert their eyes.
I’m convinced that if you feel strong sexual tension around a person that means there’s mutual sexual tension I just can’t prove it lol

Jokes that aren’t even that funny but you’re both laughing way too hard… yeah, that’s not comedy, that’s tension.
Sometimes it can be the opposite of what you expect: ignoring or avoiding looking at the person.
Intense attraction can make people feel quite uncomfortable or self-conscious.
They stare at each other alot, tend to be too physical when talking or near each other. Always laughs at even the corniest jokes.
No sex!
There will be disturbances in the atmosphere.
