So does that mean that compulsively there may be a tendency to create bonds for the sake of "intimacy"?

Think about it - water signs have to do with emotion. Mars is sexuality. Combine the two and you're going to wind up with someone who has a really hard time with the idea of sleeping with someone that they don't feel an emotional connection to.

If anything, I'd think that, like others here have said, sexual promiscuity would be Mars in a fire sign like Aries (just likes to do it for the thrill and the action of it; views it as a conquest) or Scorpio (just likes to hump) or Mars in Taurus (likes the way it feels physically) or Mars in Sag (views it as adventure and a sport).

And yeah - mars in cancer is nurturing, but towards OTHER people, not towards oneself. Mars is how you assert yourself with regards to other people, and how you personally express YOUR sexuality and what drives it, not what you want from OTHER people. Not only is the premise of this thread inherently ignorant, it shows a basic lack of knowledge about fundamental elements of astrology.

Somebody needs to go back to the drawing-board and pick up a beginner's astrology book before they start posting. My two cents.

I have female friends with Mars in Cancer and Pisces, one just recently lost her virginity at 20 and the other won't lose it till she is married. They are sexual but NOT promiscuous. Although they are Aries suns too, so they may be choosy upon who to express their physical affection on.

Males are a different story. For example, Gemini Tom Jones. His Mars was in Cancer conjunct his Venus. He had a kid while still a teenager and married at 16. He went on to bang lots of women while still committed to his wife.

If any placement has a propensity for promiscuity, it would be an Earth Mars with supporting aspects. Earth is material, and physical and involves the senses, therefore is considered sensual. Also, earth signs are stable and grounded, therefore the drive is constant.

It (usually) gets better with time, when you really understand your partner's likes and dislikes. But I do have a fantasy of having lots of indiscriminate random sex with strangers. Lots of fantasies. But that's a fantasy, something I would never actually do. That's the beauty of my mars. My imagination can fulfill my desires :P

Here sex is always linked with security. These Lovers want love to feel like home, all cozy and warm and what they seek from sex has more to do with comfort than it does passion. If these folks pursued these wholesome goals in a direct and rational way they would always find themselves in happy, rewarding relationships. Unfortunately, they don’t. In fact, for the Mars in Cancer Lover, directness and rationality are almost out of the question.

Their intense emotionality causes the Mars in Cancer Lover to veer is all sorts of contradictory directions. In some instances they can become obsessively promiscuous, vainly searching for emotional sustenance in the transitory passion of physical sex. At other times they can become unreasonably demanding, driving people away with their incessant desire for emotional reassurance. They can be disconcertedly passive and dependent in their relationship, as if they want to disappear into the union, but they can also be overly protective and passive/aggressive, hovering over their Beloved like the proverbial mother hen. Even in the best of circumstances these Lovers are susceptible to periods of self-pity and unrealistic thinking.

And yet, for all their whining and emotional volatility, there is a toughness about these Mars in Cancer Lovers that typically sees them through the most difficult of romantic situations. Perhaps the very sensitivity that makes them so vulnerable also gives them this inner resiliency. Or perhaps it’s just that their need for love is so great that it inspires within them a special kind of tenacity. In any case, these people are emotional survivors who never give up on love.

Change is an essential element in the sex lives of Mars in Cancer individuals. Love is a process for them and they get nervous when it becomes static. These Lovers never stop tinkering, even when they are lucky enough to find the emotionally secure and physically rewarding relationship they need.· They like to test their partners, rearrange the rules of their relationships and otherwise upset the emotional status quo. This restlessness conflicts sharply with the need these Lovers have for security and commitment but such rational observations are not likely to impress them. They will always follow their feelings, even when doing so takes them to the edge of disaster."

"Sex is an all-consuming fascination for people having Mars in Scorpio. Strictly speaking, they are the sexiest Lovers in the Zodiac—or at least the Lovers for whom sex has the deepest significance. They tend to be very conservative, cautious people who conduct their sex lives with weighty deliberation, like a general planning an important campaign. They treat sex with great deference and with a respect that borders on awe. It is as if they know something about human sexuality that everyone else has somehow missed—something a little scary. 
 
For Mars in Scorpio Lovers, sex has a significance that goes far beyond the personal. They recognize that sex is the means whereby we piteous mortals can look into the most elemental forces of nature and thus touch the infinite. It becomes a means of transformation and a way of plumbing the depths of the soul. In this sense, copulation becomes a spiritual act and every aspect of sexual excitement becomes a sacrament. This almost religious approach to sex means that these Lovers are seldom able to limit sex to just one area of their lives. Sex is everywhere as far as they are concerned, touching every aspect of their existence.

Sex and power are often interchangeable for these Lovers. This, of course, makes control the salient issue in their love lives, but it is not control of their partners or their relationships that most concerns them; it is the control of sex itself.· Sex has a dangerous and at times addictive attraction for these folks and even the most conventional of them will have an active interest the darker aspects of sexual expression. If nothing else they find validation for their own concept of sex as a powerful and fearsome force while observing the bizarre behavior sex brings out in other people. Other Lovers of this type will develop a fear of sex that can seem irrational and obsessive. Still other Mars in Scorpio Lovers, a small but attention-grabbing minority, will veer sharply in the other direction, surrendering to their fascination and letting the power of sexual passion consume them.

Mars in Scorpio Lovers often exert a strong sexual presence. They have an allure that is mysterious, seductive and tinged with danger. Power also plays a role in this attraction. The notion of using sex as a means to gain power over another person comes easily to these Lovers. Mars in Scorpio Lovers can be very subtle, almost insidious, in their domination of a relationship. They can also be shockingly cruel and duplicitous but these qualities only reflect the depth and power of their sexual passions and how pervasive those passions can become within their lives. There is always more going on than meets the eye in the Mars in Scorpio universe, levels of emotional need, psychological understanding and devastating eroticism that seem to have no end, and this is what makes these Lovers so dangerously exciting.

There is a sharp divide among these Lovers between those who are able to keep the darker aspects of sex at a distance and those who succumb to them entirely. The former are very secretive about their sex lives and wary of letting people see how powerful and awesome their sexuality really is. For these Lovers intimacy is something shared only with a lucky few. The second group of Mars in Scorpio Lovers find the power of sex and the intensity of the sexual experience so transformative, so mind expanding that they seek to share it with the whole world. Of course, there is nothing wrong with being an advocate of sexual pleasure but the Mars in Scorpio Lover who fails to give sex the proper respect runs the risk of becoming an instrument of that pleasure rather than an advocate."

https://www.goodgollyastrology.com/your-mars-and-venus-playbook/mars-in-scorpio.html

For the Mars in Pisces Lover, to love and be loved is a compulsion; an all-consuming drive that affects every part of their lives. It is their demon, their madness and the monkey that won’t ever leave their backs even when they are old and gray. Obviously this compulsion to love makes these people very vulnerable. But their vulnerability—this acute sensitivity to feelings and emotional situations—just becomes one more aspect of their sexual attractiveness. With Mars in Pisces we confront the essence of sex appeal, an endlessly open heart-of-hearts that no amount of desire can completely fill.

If you think this passive approach to sex puts these Lovers at a disadvantage, think again. Even though sometimes they appear to be helpless victims of love, Mars in Pisces Lovers typically dominate relationships simply because of the power of the emotions they bring to them. A relationship with a Mars in Pisces Lover can seem like a headlong plunge into an emotional and sexual abyss. No end in sight, but who cares?· They demand a lot from the people who love them and, guided by an almost mystical sensitivity to the feelings of other people, they have little trouble finding partners who are up to the challenge.

The real strength of this type, however, is not in their ability to lure the rest of us into mad affairs. It is in their ability to survive them. Their emotional flexibility and their pliant, ever optimistic approach to sex allow Mars in Pisces Lovers to walk away from emotional crack-ups that would leave more sturdy souls in a straight jacket. In fact, these Lovers often thrive in circumstances of emotional upheaval and they typically do all they can to keep their romantic situations fluid and unfixed.

Deception and subterfuge often play large roles in the love lives of Mars in Pisces Lovers. Their needs and desires are so diffuse and so prone to change with circumstance that even they are often surprised at the directions they take. Emotional security means a great deal to them but they also thrive in a state of emotional flux. They sometimes appear weak and vulnerable and yet they are capable of the most amazing acts of emotional will. They can be very loyal but they can also be infuriatingly susceptible to romantic diversions. No wonder it’s so hard to get a straight story from these sexy and slightly delirious Lovers. They rarely have a clear idea of what it is they want.

The sexual response of Mars in Pisces Lovers is always keyed to their emotional state. In some instances physical sex can mean very little to them despite their essentially sensuous natures. At other times it can mean everything. Promiscuity is not always a problem here but there is probably no other Mars type that is so prone to use sex as an emotional crutch. Their capacity for finding a replacement for emotional security in the momentary comfort and release of meaningless sex is probably the most dangerous and certainly the most heartbreaking quality of this type. It not only disrupts their lives but also the lives of the people who love them. Yet they are so lovable, so desirable and romantic that it’s always easy to forgive even the most misguided of Mars in Pisces Lovers. And perhaps that is the most problematic quality of this type — no matter how badly they behave, it’s just too damn easy to fall in love with them all over again."

Lol! If only i had my mojo. i traded it up for dignity lol!

Since we're on the topic, i used to be able to do that when i was around 19.

I can't pinpoint every case & point but i do remember getting it on the regular. I was in a relationship and seeing two other guys at the same time & then found out they both knew each other. But i wasn't exclusive with any of the 3 because one was on the rebound, another was in a 12 yr relationship (Mars in Cancer) and the other one was just a mess and i lost interest and started sleeping in a different room long before i met the other 2.

It was fun then and i had something to look up to and admire in those men. All were very accomplished and so have the rest of my liasons but one nighters for the sake of it? I've counted maybe 3.

There were some fun ocassions but i'm not sure if those count because they never even made it to the bedroom, much less, the night.

in my opinion one partner who you can really connect with is better than 3 guys on you accomplished or not...

no judging on my part though you can do what you want
