What Kind of Lover Are You?

Love is a complicated thing – and sex even more so! Did you know that no matter what your Sun Sign says, when it comes to sex, you may actually have more in common with one of the astrological elements? In other words, in your world of pleasure and partners, you may be more Earth, Air, Fire or Water. Knowing where you fit in, when it comes to the elements of love, can be the difference between a sex life that sizzles and frolic that fizzles.

SCORING

Mostly a: Sail away to satisfaction…
Water Sign or not, you’ve got a lot in common with Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio. Not that you’re surprised – you’ve always known you had a penchant for the dark side (even if it takes you a little while to let it out). You’re best with other Water Sign types or maybe even an Earth Sign. Steer clear of Air, as they won’t be able to satisfy your need for spiritual connection (sex, for you, after all, is a transcendental experience). Unless you’re in the market for a one-nighter, leave the Fire Signs to burn out on their own.

Mostly b: Get down and dirty…
Lucky you (and your partner)! Earth Signs are the most sensual of the zodiac – take one look at a Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn and you’ll be hard pressed to miss their earthy sex appeal. However, unlike Air, Fire and even Water Signs, when it comes to sex, trust is paramount for these practical people. These salt of the earth types aim to please and are willing to dig in their heels and make it happen. If you fit this description, go for another Earth Sign or try your hand at Water (just be aware they can be intense). Conversely, Air Signs will not give you the reliability that you need (they’re more likely to fly away), and Fire Signs, well, they’re just too much drama for someone with their feet so firmly planted… in the bed.

Mostly cs: Soar to new heights…
It seems that you find yourself piqued by people who challenge your mind. Whether it’s elaborate fantasies, suggestive conversations or simply a wandering imagination of forbidden adventures, your turn-ons, like those of Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) are of the cerebral variety. So, if you want to whip up a frenzy of lust in your life, why not put some of those fantasies to use. And, if you really want to soar to new sexual heights – find yourself another Air Sign or walk the coals for a Fire Sign. You’ll find their daredevil streak inspiring to say the least.

Mostly ds: Burn, baby, burn!
You, oh firey one, are someone who likes to spice things up in the bedroom and beyond. Like the Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), your need for speed, penchant for passion and addiction to adrenaline can sometimes be overwhelming – and you need a lover who is going to keep up. Beautiful things (and people) really appeal to you, which is also the case with the Air Signs who are no doubt your best match. Unlike the other elements (who tend to do well sticking with their own kind), a Fire on Fire combination is a risky endeavor – likely to combust. Consider what you’re after when you choose a lover. If it’s the long haul and an Air seems too flighty, you can think about a Water Sign (Scorpio in particular). Earth Signs are also potential carnal matches, but we both know you’ll probably scorch their hearts – and you, more than any other element must remember that karma extends to your sex life, too!
