Scorpio is known as one of the most sexual zodiac signs for a reason. They have this intense passion and depth that makes them superior lovers. However, if you think that Scorpio is about one-night stands and being hypersexual, you’ve got them all wrong. For Scorpio, there is a special relationship with sex that allows them to be able to use sexual energy to heal and transform.
Scorpio’s relationship with sexuality is quite in-depth. Given that Scorpio’s co-ruler is Mars, it should come as no surprise that this particular sign has an association with sex. Mars governs the sex drive in astrology. However, the way that Scorpio approaches sex is different than Aries which is also ruled by Mars. It is important to remember that Scorpio is also ruled by Pluto, so the sex drive takes on a deeper expression. Just like with Mars, there is a passionate desire to move forward. However, with the energy of Pluto, the Scorpio sex drive is oriented towards depth, healing, and transformation.
Also, it helps that Scorpio has a deep magnetism that makes them quite attractive to others. Even if Scorpio isn’t quintessentially attractive based on common beauty standards, there’s something about their energy that makes others want to know more about them. This mysterious nature combined with Scorpio’s keen understanding of people’s psyches allows them to connect to people sexually in a deep manner.
Sexy…But Picky
Now, don’t think that just because Scorpio is the sexy sign that they’re open to having sex with just anyone. Nope. Not at all. Scorpios do have standards regarding who they engage with sexually. Because they do desire a deeper sexual experience, they can be very picky about who they choose to have sex with. Likewise, Scorpio is not very trusting. It’s important to remember that Scorpio is a water sign. Even though this sign can appear to be quite stoic, they genuinely do want an emotional connection. Also, in order to have the type of sex that Scorpio desires, a certain level of vulnerability are required. For Scorpio, it’s hard to connect deeply and have the type of transformative, healing sexual experiences they desire with someone that they barely know.
Now, if Scorpio only desires a purely physical sexual experience, they will surely make this known to the other party. However, in order to really get the whole experience of Scorpio, a deep emotional connection that is cemented with trust is required.
Penetrating Expertise
Even if a Scorpio doesn’t necessarily have tons of sexual experience, it just seems as if they are able to know their partner’s desire to be sexually satisfied. This is due to the influence of Pluto specifically as Scorpio has a keen ability to know how to fulfill their partner’s sexual needs. Scorpio is very good at picking up on cues to satiate their partners’ sexual desires.
Another aspect of Scorpio is their ability to make people feel comfortable with their sexual desires. There are many people who want to express themselves sexually, but they may feel that they shouldn’t or can’t. Scorpio has a way of making the space for people to feel comfortable with their “sweetest sexual taboos” so that are able to engage and thoroughly enjoy sexual encounters without hangups.
Sex As A Spritual Experience
Scorpio will never openly reveal this, but they are seeking a spiritual sexual experience. This is one of the reasons why the fly-by-night one-night-stands won’t do for the ultimate sexual experience for a Scorpio. In order for there to be a spiritual sexual experience, Scorpio and the other person have to have a deep connection. While Scorpio can have pleasurable sex with anyone they choose, pleasure is not equal to a spiritual experience. It’s almost inexplicable the type of intimacy that Scorpio desires through the sexual union. It’s a total giving over of the self to the other, and this requires trust and vulnerability that simply can’t be had without a deep connection.
There are very few signs that can match Scorpio’s desire for this type of sexual spiritual experience. The other two water signs Cancer and Pisces are the closest bet. Cancer has the desire for deep emotional bonding that makes Scorpio feel secure enough to open up and be vulnerable to sexual intimacy. Pisces shares Scorpio’s perspective on the desire for spiritual sexuality. As a sign that is most correlated to spirituality in astrology, Pisces’ lack of boundaries makes it possible to meld with Scorpio for spiritually intimate sexuality.
Scorpio & Sexual Healing
There are many Scorpios who have the innate ability to use sexual energy for healing and transformative purposes. Whether they’re doing this consciously or subconsciously, Scorpio understands that the power of sexual energy can be quite cathartic. Many experience great emotional releases and/or breakdowns through the sexual intimacy experienced with Scorpio. Similar to the energy of the Phoenix, Scorpio has the capacity to use sexual energy to assist with purging and/or burning off past traumas and releasing sexual inhibitions.
There are also some Scorpios who delve into the use of sex magick where they use sexual energy as a conduit for creation in the physical realm. On the opposite end of the spectrum, there are Scorpios who are committed to a life of celibacy where instead of releasing sexual energy through intercourse, sexual energy is recycled through the self and used as a basis for creating in the physical realm.
Keep it Private
Whether you’re seeking Scorpio for a night of sexual fun or a desire to explore sexuality on a deeper level, is important to keep quiet about sexual intimacy with Scorpio. Scorpio is an extremely private sign, and they like to keep their personal business to themselves. If you’ve ever interacted with Scorpio, you’ve probably noticed that they are always probing to find out information about others, but they can be quite tightlipped when it comes to sharing information about themselves. The same thing goes with their sexual liaisons. Scorpio doesn’t want everyone to know about their personal lives. Even if it’s the best sexual experience someone has ever had, Scorpio would rather deal with people who have the capacity to keep quiet about their own personal encounters.
For Scorpio, discretion is key for all of their sexual encounters. It’s best that those who are interested in engaging with Scorpio sexually understand just how private this particular sign is. Scorpio doesn’t kiss-and-tell and neither should others.
Ultimately, Scorpio has rightfully earned its reputation for being one of the most sexual signs of the zodiac. While many may desire Scorpio purely from a lusty, carnal perspective, Scorpio is aligned with using sexual energy in an elevated manner. For Scorpio, sex is a truly spiritual, transformative, and healing experience that allows them and the person whom they care deeply about to give themselves over to each other in the most sacred and vulnerable way.
