Having Mars in Scorpio, sex and passion are inextricably entwined. You can?t have one without the?other, and with neither you feel you would die. It is important that you learn to accept and express your powerful sexuality, for if repressed and pushed underground?it then becomes destructive.

With Mars in Scorpio, your bedroom techniques are not for the faint-hearted, and you attend your?passion with an intensity and vigilance that can frighten less intense partners away.? You don?t just take someone to bed?? you take them hostage, body and soul?(especially if you have other planets in Scorpio as well). During lovemaking your?concentration is total?? on your lover, their deepest needs and the whole erotic /?emotional experience. With a compatible partner, this can be exhilarating and?transforming, but such intensity and possessiveness can be unsettling if your partner was just expecting a casual quickie.

For a Mars in Scorpio, sex is deadly serious and seldom?over with quickly. You are sexually complicated and extreme, with an all-or-nothing?attitude to sex which can result in overindulgence one year and celibacy the next.? There is also a part of you that is irresistibly drawn to the dark and seamy side of?life and the underbelly of the sexual world (via things like hard-core pornography,?sado-masochism and prostitution?). This attraction can range from a passing?interest to an active?? even obsessive?? involvement.

Self-assertion?for a Mars in Scorpio

As an individual with Mars in Scorpio, you have difficulty asserting yourself directly and firmly, and prefer to employ?covert tactics (being moody, secretive, dropping subtle hints?) rather than stating?openly what it is that you want. You have strong likes and dislikes sexually, but?have trouble communicating them to your partner. Because you intuitively know?what turns them on, you assume they will do the same. When they invariably don?t,?you can become withdrawn and hurt, and your partner doesn?t have a clue what they have done wrong. Learn to state your needs overtly?? you may end up very?pleasantly surprised!
