Scorpio Men in Relationships

You and a Scorpio Man

Women sense in him a magnetic life force, and sexuality is only one part of this magnetism. He projects an aura of mystery and power, of a disturbing, unpredictable, thoroughly masculine presence.

One reason Scorpio has such a bad press is that the flaws in his character show up more in his love life than in any other area. Nothing brings out the extremes to which his nature is subject as much as sex. He has so much energy and passion you’ll have no trouble seducing him—if that’s all you want. What is harder is to form a relationship with him. This is not because he doesn’t want a relationship, for it is, in fact, exactly what he does want.

He is an intensely sensitive man who can be easily hurt and who often feels lonely and unfulfilled. The problem is that jealousies and unexpressed angers are very difficult to live with. He has the most indefensible defenses in the zodiac. And the one thing he will never let you see is his vulnerable side. He will never allow a woman to dominate him. If he chooses, he can keep a woman dangling on his string as long as he wants her. When he cuts her loose, no matter how ruthless the parting may be, he’ll be surprised if she shows any bitterness. He’s the only one who has a right to be vindictive.

In matters of love he always knows the cost of what he wants to the last decimal point. If the cost is too high— emotionally, financially, or otherwise—he won’t haggle. He’ll simply walk away.

The Scorpio man is secretive and hard to fathom, although he often appears likeable, affable, and easygoing. What you see on the surface is what he wants you to see. But even when he’s being most amiable, and he can be, there’s a simmering danger to this man. He is aware of how attractive he is to women and makes the most of it.

In his approach to lovemaking he plans his moves carefully, not wasting time but never appearing to be in haste. He is direct and forceful, and there aren’t too many women around who can avoid responding to his uncomplicated physical passion. He brings out the full sensual potential in any woman with whom he’s having an intimate relationship.

One of the things that makes him really unique as a lover is that he truly understands a woman’s needs and, if he is not threatened, will try to meet them. This vigorous, virile male can be a lot to handle, but Scorpio man makes a woman feel like she’s the best female she can be.

How to Attract a Scorpio

Scorpios are noted for their unpredictability, but here are a few general rules that may serve as a guide. Listen to a Scorpio carefully with full attention. There’s no way of faking it. Scorpios always know when you’re pretending, and that will be the end before there’s even a beginning. Remember an overriding Scorpio trait: curiosity. Never tell a Scorpio that something happened without including the how or why. If you leave that out, you’ll be classified as either dull or superficial. Neither type gets far with persons born under this sign.

They enjoy most forms of recreation, particularly water sports. If you’re the type who likes a day at the beach or to be out on a fishing boat or to take a waterskiing lesson, you and Scorpio will have that much in common. Scorpios also enjoy parties, social affairs, charity bazaars, and places where they can associate with successful people. If you get into an argument (and you shouldn’t with anyone born under this sign), please remember to be respectful. Scorpios are proud, serious, and don’t believe that any of their opinions should be trifled with, even good-humoredly.

Scorpio & Aries

The initial attraction is strong. Sexually, Aries is more imaginative and more willing to experiment, but Scorpio’s smoldering desires prove a fair match. Trouble looms in other areas, though. Both are selfish and both want to make the decisions. There is a basic clash of wills because Aries wants to dominate and Scorpio wants to control. Scorpio’s secretive and brooding nature frustrates open, impulsive Aries. Aries is freedom-loving, outgoing, and flirtatious, and this enrages possessive, jealous Scorpio. Temperamental differences undermine the sexual rapport.

Scorpio & Taurus

Taurus has the stamina and the desire to satisfy Scorpio in the bedroom. But what will this passionate pair do with the other twenty-three and a half hours in the day? Both are very jealous and stubborn. The difference between these two is that Taurus wants to own a lover, like a valuable object, and Scorpio tries to possess in an emotional sense. Though they share an affinity for finances, Scorpio is thrifty and spurns laziness, whereas Taurus likes to spend on creature comforts. Scorpio is willful, Taurus is obstinate, and both want to be the captain of what may turn out to be a sinking ship.

Scorpio & Gemini

Scorpio is drawn to Gemini’s vivacity, and Scorpio’s complex personality fascinates curious Gemini. For a time Gemini is also intrigued by Scorpio’s unceasing sexual demands. But Gemini is too changeable and inconstant for intense Scorpio, who needs and demands total commitment. Restless Gemini has a strong penchant for independence, while Scorpio wants to dominate and possess. Scorpio is basically a loner; Gemini likes to glitter in social settings. They’ll have some lively frolics, but all too soon the fun palls— and Gemini starts looking for an exit.

Scorpio & Cancer

This can be a rewarding combination. Cancer is the passive partner, but there’s plenty of combustible material to catch fire from Scorpio’s abundant passions. The heat in the bedroom will help cool off disputes that can arise between two jealous people. Scorpio offers strength and protectiveness, which is just what clinging, insecure Cancer is looking for. In turn, Cancer is affectionate, generous, loving, and devoted—all that Scorpio wants. These two get along together like bread and jam.

Scorpio & Leo

Scorpio won’t flatter Leo’s ego or accept Leo’s dominance. Scorpio seeks to plumb the erotic psyche of a lover, whereas Leo looks for a grand romance. Passions and tempers are equally strong on both sides. Fiery Leo is extravagant and likes to live on a majestic scale, but Scorpio disapproves of conspicuousness and waste. There’s a great deal of physical attraction between them, but both are on a very short fuse. Scorpio’s jealousy will probably provide the spark, and when the explosion comes, the sky’s the limit!

Scorpio & Virgo

Restrained Virgo has trouble keeping up with highly demonstrative Scorpio and doesn’t understand what all the fuss and bother is about. But there’s a marvelous meeting of minds and a fine mixing of personalities. Both are devoted to family and to financial security. Neither is flighty or superficial; the deep feelings that each harbors lead to a strong commitment and loyalty. They have so much in common that maybe Scorpio won’t mind that Virgo’s passions are more intellectual than physical.

Scorpio & Libra

Scorpio’s unpredictable nature immediately intrigues Libra, who enjoys collecting interesting people. Scorpio satisfies Libra’s need for affection— and then some—and Scorpio’s jealousy will flatter Libra. But Libra is an inconstant flirt, and Scorpio is supersensitive and touchy. Intense Scorpio takes love and commitment seriously; Libra wants a partner to enhance its own image. Libra’s on-again-off-again attitude toward love will frustrate and upset Scorpio. This mating isn’t likely to lead to anything permanent.

Scorpio & Scorpio

Plenty of sexual attraction here, but the emotional temperature can’t keep rising forever. These two people who are so much alike understand each other very little. They are highly jealous and demanding. They are so intense that every little storm quickly becomes a hurricane. Both are sulky, brooding, and possessive. Both are in a continual struggle to force the other to relinquish control. Something has got to give, and when it does it’s likely to spell The End.

Scorpio & Sagittarius

Scorpio is tantalized by Sagittarius’s freewheeling, uninhibited style. Scorpio will dominate but can’t keep restless, flighty Sagittarius submissive for long. Sagittarius thinks the accent should be on fun and new adventure; Scorpio wants security and constant loving. Sagittarius is open, talkative, and casual about relationships; Scorpio is reticent, secretive, and very jealous in love. Scorpio wants Sagittarius at home, Sagittarius wants to roam. An affair without a future.

Scorpio & Capricorn

All of Scorpio’s powerful passions find a welcome here. Scorpio’s volatile emotions tend to open up brooding, inner-directed Capricorn, and the zesty goings-on add savor to a warm emotional relationship. Capricorn even likes Scorpio’s jealousy—for this makes Capricorn feel secure. These two share a sense of purpose: they are ambitious, determined, and serious about responsibility, and as a team have good auguries for financial success. They should have clear sailing.

Scorpio & Aquarius

Scorpio makes heavy emotional demands, but to Aquarius even a love affair is simply another way to broaden its horizons. Scorpio can’t tolerate Aquarius’s independence within a relationship or understand Aquarius’s casual air toward love. Aquarius is altogether too impersonal and has too many outside interests to suit possessive, jealous Scorpio. Scorpio will try to dominate and will be upset by Aquarius’s unpredictable moods and love for freedom. Scorpio wants to stay at home; Aquarius wants to be free to go. And so on—to the finish.

Scorpio & Pisces

Scorpio’s strength is a perfect bulwark for Pisces’s indecisiveness. In turn, Pisces’s imagination sparks Scorpio’s creativity. Pisces is able to give Scorpio the devotion and admiration it craves, and their mutual fascination with lovemaking provides a fine romantic aura. Pisces’s flair for the bizarre adds spice to Scorpio’s desires, and the intense emotional needs of both signs neatly complement each other. Pisces’s intuitive awareness and Scorpio’s depth of feeling unite in a special closeness. This kind of mating lasts.
