So... I've known a few scorpios in my time, male and female, and my current partner has Scorpio Mars/Moon/ASC.

In all cases, I was expecting to hear of them having/wanting taboo-breaking, eyebrow-raising sex - because that's what Scorpios, with all their 8th House/Pluto energy are supposed to embody, right? In all cases, however, their tastes were actually very vanilla and more "esoteric" sexual acts or fantasies didn't really appeal to them much.

Did they like sex? Sure (although my current partner says she could quite happily do without it and not feel an urge for it, if she was single). But the sex they like tends to be fairly straightforward stuff.

TL;DR: Scorpionic people aren't actually the freaks in the sheets they're made out to be. At least not in my experience.

AIBU?

I completely agree with this. Ive known some Scorpios who are borderline asexual, even. I think the most marked characterstic is their passion, but passion doesnt have to strictly be sexual. They have a deep reserve of strength and resilience, and what they love and find meaningful, is what they direct their passion towards. For some its sex, for some its pure love, for some its ambition, for some its power, for some its family. You get the idea.

Heavy Plutonian/Scorpionic men mixed in with some free open-minded signs in their charts are obsessed with sex and can border over to sex addiction in my experience. They are usually really into porn, strippers and the like. I dont know how the women are but your girl might have something in her chart that tones her down and women also dont like to admit that they are really into sex. One had Sun, Moon and Venus in Scorpio and Pluto were conjunct all of it with a Mars in Gemini. The other had Sun, Mercury and Venus in Scorpio with a Mars in Aquarius plus Pluto Conjunct his Sun and square his mars. The 3rd had Scorpio moon with Pluto conjunct it and mars opposite Pluto and Sun sextile Pluto and a Aquarius Venus. And also dont forget Scorpio is a very secretive and private sign i guarantee you they will keep something back and not tell you everything. The one with the Aquarius mars i only talked with online he had a thing for spit and was also into bdsm. He also had moon in the 11th house. The two other men are friends of mine

Thanks both!

I do agree Scorpio energy lends itself to intense emotions - but as Monte says, intense sex doesnt necessarily translate into kinky sex or breaking taboos. You can want to have loads of sex and feel it intensely but still be doing the same position every time! In fact, I think my partner almost prefers it to just be that kind of primal bonding thing rather than get into props, kinks and positions, as it were.

The most kinky peoplecIve known tended to have more Virgo energy tbh - but Ive seen online articles suggest theyre one of the more boring signs!

Many Scorpios are the protectors of sex and sanctity of love... This is why so many are deeply vindictive against evil doers, rapists, pedophiles etc...

They are passionate for justice and vengeance against perversion.

Scorpio's are like Libras but with a tragic past kinda like Batman XD

Sco energy is quite complex and has to deal with a whole lot of psychological issues ime. And so i wouldn't believe everything i see at first blush with these folks.Water energy has more going on than what surfaces. This especially when it's in a fixed modality.

You can be looking at a calm, serene lake and feel at peace. Then suddenly a dead body wrapped in garbage bags surfaces.That's Sco.This energy does have an element of shock to it.🤷🏿‍♂️

What I can say is that Sco harbours a lot of fears(Sat rules the solar Ic in Aqua). And most of these fears inhibit the identity(Sun/Leo). With Leo in the solar MC place, they want to actualize through some sort of powerful form of self-expression.

This could be through theatre, romance, children,celebrity status, power / authority etc. All areas ruled by the Sun and affiliated with the 5th house of leisure, pleasure and recreational sports(including sexual intercourse)

But they must first work through the fears(Sat) that they have mentally (Ic) which keep them anxious and unsettled (Aqua). So affection(Tau)is paramount in relations (7th).And with this affection , Sco learns to open up a bit more as they get older.

But this takes time. As with Ic and 3rd house ruled by Saturn, there is restrictive boundaries here. So they often don't go "all in" like Aries. They hold back. Or seem VERY divided in their approach.

This can be explained by the "mutable" and often confusing energy on the cusp of their sexuality houses- 5th house and 8th house.

When it comes to the 5th, Sco WANTS to have transcendental boundless experiences(Pisces) on one hand. But much like the fish swimming in two opposite sides,there is also the need to stay within the realm and boundaries of solid Earth on the other.

Then there is the other "split" nature of Gemini on the cusp of the 8th. Here there is a "dual" nature in as far as the taboo subjects of deeper intimacy exploration is concerned I.e. one twin that wants to be an "angel". And the other twin that is "the devil". Always the split between the two

Some Scorpios will be the type to seem exclusively conservative ("angel" twin) on the outside. Whilst secretly exploring their sexuality through channels that are more hidden & "discreet" from others. Sometimes going as far as to chastize those who live their sexuality "openly " because they are more covert.

Westboro Baptist Church anti-gay minister Fred Phelps (Sun in Sco) enjoyed the very sexual intercourse with his wife that he despised same sex people for having. He had 13 children that he struggled to raise 🙆🏿‍♂️.

On the other hand,other Scorpios will embrace the provocative and seem to be more outwardly "sexual" or "sexy". But show more conservatism as you dig deeper i.e.Calvin Klein is a Sun in Sco famous designer of "tight jeans" and underwear that outlines the body's more "intimate" parts I.e the buttocks and crotch area.

You'd think that such a guy would be sexually "liberal" and bedding his models left, right and centre . But alas. He is more conservative in real life and has been married twice.

I always find this weird mix with Scorpios. The "sexy" ones who seem to just ooze sex appeal, are actually not all that hot for sex. Whilst the more "modest" or minimalistic ones who are covered up ,are ANIMALS in bed

I was with a Scorpio Stellulum guy: rising, sun, pluto, mercury
also: Taurus moon

He liked being submissive and being dominated. Also his mom told him "no fat girls" I am neither skinny or fat. So when he was going through his Uranus square Venus transit. He was very interested in me. He told me after the first time we did it. "Don't take this the wrong way, but I've never been with a girl who isn't skinny and I really like it."

We could go at it like rabbits. The passion was quite consuming and we would usually do it like twice a day.

I tried new things with him like blind folding, hand/leg cuffs, and whip cream.

I have Scorpio moon/pluto/lilith. As much as it was fun to experience being the dominant one. I kind of got bored with it after a while. It didn't feel good that I was always the one who initiated pretty much. He also was not comfortable chocking me. He didn't like the idea of flogging either.

NOW my Virgo stellilum husband: Rising, Mercury, Mars, Venus has no problem dominating. Early into the relationship he actually gave me mixed messages about me ever dominating. He has no problem chocking me. He does it so good that I black out, almost have an OBE, and not know wtf is going on when I come back to consciousness. He is the best at dirty talk too. But yeah we have been together 7 years and married one year. So I have been taking charge more to spice things up. I hate being undermined when I am on top. The last time he told me to get on top, I said. If I'm on top then I'm in charge. He also has zero interest in props! It doesn't make any sense to me. I mean he will put up with it, but it doesn't do anything for him. I have also never been with someone with such a low drive. He is more of an every other day kind of guy. So my self esteem/ego had to adjust.
He only has Pluto in Scorpio

My sister has Scorpio Rising, Venus, and Pluto

Her drive was higher when she was younger. Now she is just exhausted a lot. She has some hormone imbalance thing going on too. Her husband pouting like a child when she turns him down definitely did not help in the matter. While Pluto transit is conjunct her Mars, she had to express to her husband that she just needs time in her day where no one is touching her. She has 3 kids all under the age of 8 right now. I think that is helping things.

She has told me a bit about her life like that. They like to record each other doing it. They have also done it while another couple was black out drunk passed out in the same room.

The did it on a beach at night on their honeymoon.

The water mars signs can keep up with me in doing it in a risky location. Warehouse(cancer Mars), rowboat.(Scorpio Mars) That's it really.

My Virgo mars husband is a bit more of a prude with this. I have kind of expressed being disappointed in him for this. But there really are people who really just like to keep it in the bedroom. It doesn't make any sense to me. I am starting to feel like my Aqua Mars has to take him out of his box sometimes. I initiated Whatsapp sessions with him. At first he was like we can't do that. And I was like "yes we can, I use to have phone sex" It's been going well, and he has success with it.

My very good coworker friend has Scorpio Venus and Pluto
Also: Libra Sun, Virgo Moon

We are so open with each other. When I told her I was getting frustrated and bored with my sex life. She gave me amazing advice!
She has been married 11 years. A bit after having her second kid, she decided that she doesn't want to be one of those married people who doesn't have sex.

The 7 year itch thing is very real.

She would try initiating with her husband like "what's your fantasy" and she would get nothing. So finally she was like let me watch porn with you if you aren't going to tell me.

She let me know that I wasn't alone with having husband treat you like you are crazy for wanting to try new things and bring up new ideas.

She also told me just get him drunk, try something new and he'll realize he's into it.

Her husband thought she was crazy for wanting to do anal and stuff. They are also into squirting. My husband and I are like "nah" on that.

All I know is that her husband is a Cancer and he really likes using toys.

She says period sex is the best too. To each their own.

She prefers having her husband take control too. She is a perfectionist in real life.

THIS is exactly what alot of them do esp the men. Like If they are on Instagram they will be on the darker sides of it like where the bdsm/submissive girls are and women that posts a lot of explicit content. They are the ones that can even be into cam girls. A lot of it will happen through fake discreet accounts too.

my gf (sun, venus and pluto in scorpio) and me (sun, venus, mercury and pluto in scorpio) We have an issue with sex addiction, we like to go deep enough and we can spend a salary in a sex shop. The issue is as they said above that for example in our case everything is very private, no one would suspect that we have a mind thinking about sex during the day. We are both pisces moons and capricorn ascendant, our image is usually angelic, reserved, introverted.

Yes. I have come across this plenty of times.

I dated one who was the sexy one externally. And looked like a sex god. But was very distant from sex and intimacy(Moon in Aqua).

He would be the type to arouse you with being sexy. But then shame you for being turned on by him and "thinking about sex too much ". Or accuse you for using him as a sex object or solely being interested in him just for that. Many insecurities.

His past lovers got attracted because of his sex appeal(Myself included).But then left him because he was not interested in intimacy or sex. Nor all that in touch with his sexuality tbh.

I never demanded sex. But I did want affection and intimacy (to which he would give in dribs and drabs) . It was the first time that I dated a Mars in Libra that left me unsatisfied (his Mars opposed his Jupiter in Aries).

Most Mars in Libra (like me) and Suns are into foreplay, romance and lots of tokens of affection. Sex tends to be erotic and beautiful than "raw". And I have always appreciated that.

With this one, it was like he was on an armchair watching himself trying to get intimate with me. So detached and out of touch with me. And I needed to feel connected romantically to a partner. I didn't get that.

Suffice it to say though, I just let time pass without any contact. I don't think we were all that compatible. And it was a lesson to me. That just because someone is physically good-looking, doesn't mean that they'll be fully satisfying to you in bed.🤷🏿‍️

That makes sense. Cap Asc(especially those who have Libra Mc) are usually extremely image conscious. Reputation is everything.☝🏿

It seems that way We are practically the same person, having the angles in conjunction it seems that we go at the same rhythm in life.
