SEX SIGNS

Aries is the first sign in the zodiac, and it's a fire sign and a cardinal one too. Perhaps it comes as no surprise then that this sign is the most forward of forward when it comes to sex.. Plenty of it is required, and the more exotic and 'dangerous' the better. Arians feel the urge to make love in the most unlikely (and frankly uncomfortable!) places, just 'because', especially if the risk of someone catching them at it is high - that just adds to the excitement. Alternatively, some (but a minority) of Arians live quite happily without any sex at all - the two extremes of the spectrum, because extreme is something Arians do well. Sexually experimental, the Aries woman is very oral, and also has a deliciously wicked sense of humour with which to charm her man both before and after love-making. Aries man is equally open-minded, but sometimes has a hard time being faithful. Naturally impulsive and often reckless, this sign above all others needs to be careful with sexual health.

Taurus is an earth sign, and incredibly sensual - which is not the same thing as sexual. Although they very much enjoy sex with the right partner, they are quite undemanding and don't go in for party tricks. Better an evening of good conversation, food and companionship, which ends with nothing more than a kiss, than an hour of wild romping with the wrong person - that's a Taurus opinion. Some Taureans are very modest, and most are shy to a certain extent, especially when younger. The Taurus woman may well be a bit of a late starter, sexually - whilst all her friends are comparing bedroom notes she will sit and ponder and wait for the right time. Mind you, she probably makes up for it by then being considered a far better lover than many of her over-eager companions. Taurus man can be quite uptight about sex, but in the company of a gentle and considerate companion both sexes flourish and enjoy. Taureans love food, so any form of sex-play which involves copious amounts of ice-cream or yoghurt is sure to be a hit!

Gemini has a reputation as one of the intellectuals of the zodiac. True, but that studious exterior masks a healthy, lively and joyful appreciation of sex as well. Think of the Gemini woman as the quintessential sexy librarian in films - all neat hair bun and rimmed glasses, just waiting for someone to loosen a few hair pins and talk her into bed. Typical Gemini man in an studious accountant who turns into a hot blooded Romeo between the sheets. As ever with Gemini, there is more than meets the eye. An ever present curiosity means that this sign is willing to try anything at least once, and may develop a liking for some 'unusual' routines. Undeniably a very communicative sign, Geminis are turned on by bedroom talk, the raunchier the better. Although this is the sign of the twins, Geminis are not averse to having more than one for company - threesomes and more excite their imagination, even if they never put it into practice. This sign is also the most likely to be bisexual.

With Cancer being a water sign, people often assume that slushy sentimentality takes precedence over sex in their lives. Sentimental they are, but this is a cardinal sign too, and Cancer has a healthy sexual appetite. This is sometimes spoiled by shyness or over-anxiety, however, especially with a new partner. Cancer woman is terribly worried about what a partner thinks of her body, and will cover up when she can if she's not in tip top shape. Cancer man worries too, but is more likely to just avoid sex if his confidence is low. All Cancerians have a very active fantasy life, and most are turned on by raunchy novels, films or soft porn, so long as there is an element of romance and 'happily ever after' about it. Hardcore pornography, though, is abhorrent to them, so a partner needs to know where to draw the line. Sex without love is incomprehensible to a Cancer person of either sex. In a happy relationship both sexes are eager to please their partner, and will take time over making love. In a rocky relationship, neither sign is above using sex (or the lack of it) as a weapon.

Leo is the second fire sign, and loves sex nearly as much as Aries does. There's one important difference, however - they're fussy. Leos are sticklers for luxury and comfort, and won't be found bouncing around in bushes for anyone! Being a fixed sign they can also be extraordinarily self-contained, and would rather not make love at all than feel in any way emotionally unsure about it. Dignity is also important, so they don't find the, ahem, more 'complicated' positions nearly as much fun as some other signs might. The Leo woman makes love with more than just her genitals, making full use of her hair, her eyes and her voice. The Leo man is many women's idea of a perfect lover - slow, sensual and appreciative, and he even knows where the less obvious erogenous zones are without having to find a map first. Both sexes enjoy the use of mental fantasy and imagery, and both are quite vocal in bed.

Virgo the virgin is a bit of misnomer, as Virgo men and women are actually quite highly sexed. This is an earth sign, after all, and their curiosity leads them into adventurous situations, often early in life. In their day to day lives, many Virgos are quite quiet and submissive - despite, or perhaps because of this, a Virgo in the bedroom is often keen to be in control. They like bondage, or at least the thought of it - perhaps this is a quirky reference to Virgos being known as the servants of the zodiac! Cleanliness and hygiene are important to them, but not to the extreme that you might believe. With Mercury ruling this sign, Virgo women are often keen to act out their fantasies. Virgo men are sometimes too shy to ask, but will love you forever if you volunteer to act out theirs. Both sexes worry about their sexual health, and this is the sign most likely to *never* forget the contraception. Surprisingly, it's also one of the most signs most likely to be promiscuous - sex and love are separate issues for them, and so they don't feel that being physically unfaithful is necessarily wrong.

Librans, on the other hand, often confuse sex with love, to the extent that the partner of a Libran may complain that they don't spend enough 'affectionate' time without having sex. The whole aesthetic experience of love-making is very important to Libra, but the details have to be right. Making love on top of a grand piano in an opulent ballroom is fine. A quick fumble up against the juke box down the pub is not. For the Libra woman, quality is more important than quantity. She may not make love as often as some other signs, but when she does, she does it properly. Libra man has an almost intuitive grasp of what pleases a woman, and is especially good at erotic massage. Being ruled by Venus, this is a sensual sign, and they are especially adept at the soft music, candlelight and rose petals bit. They do want to venture further afield than the bedroom, but it's more likely to be to a scented bubble bath than to a muddy field. Languid and sometimes a little lazy, this sign likes sex that doesn't require too much physical effort!

Scorpio's reputation as the sex-machine of the zodiac is unwarranted. This is actually a very sensitive sign, and they are far too emotionally involved with the act of sex to be as promiscuous or as lustful as is often suggested. Many like to cultivate that image, but the reality is a different story - this is one of the more prudish signs of the zodiac. Very proud and dignified, the Scorpio woman doesn't want to perform party tricks, and nor does she want to be caught in a compromising position. In private, with the right man, she is often a wonderfully exotic lover, but only if she totally trusts her man. Scorpio men sometimes have difficulty in letting themselves go enough to really enjoy sex, but if they are in a happy relationship they will eventually be persuaded to engage in some of their milder fantasies. Neither sex is particularly vocal during love-making, preferring to express themselves with bodies and eyes rather than voices. Clothes, and the removal of them, are very sexual for this sign, so Scorpios love strip-teases, and also erotic (but tasteful) underwear or outfits.

Sagittarius is a restless, outgoing fire sign, and never more so than when it comes to sex. Fans of the proverbial 'quickie', Sagittarians of both sexes enjoy sex which is fast, outdoors and a little on the rough site - or preferably all three! Sex is not a driving force in the Sagittarian's life, however. Companionship is far more important to them, and this is the sign most likely to have casual sex whether with friends or with strangers. Open-minded in the extreme, both sexes will delve into the realms of 'kinky' at least once or twice in their lives - not that they will necessarily enjoy some of their experiments - but the experience is what counts! Vocal and expressive, it's a Sagittarian woman making love who has the neighbours shaking their heads in embarrassment - and a Sagittarian man who is most likely to rent hardcore porn. For both sexes, fidelity can be a problem, and as with Aries, they need to look after their sexual health.

Capricorn is one of the least highly sexed signs. Many Capricorns can, and do, do without sex altogether, as other areas of their lives are much more important to them. Some are embarrassed by it, and many are old-fashioned and traditional in their preferences. The majority lead perfectly happy sex lives, but they need to be in a solid and trusting relationship before they will enjoy making love. The thought of casual sex horrifies them, as does anything even remotely 'unusual'. That said, the Capricorn sense of self-perversity will sometimes lead them into doing the very things they don't like, in order to dislike them even more. Partners need to understand Capricorn's sexual motives, which are not always clear. Capricorn women flourish in a relationship with an understanding and relaxed sexual partner who can draw them out of themselves, but suffer in a partnership with an over-demanding lover. Capricorn men often feel under pressure to 'perform', and this is the sign most likely to suffer, in either sex, from psychological sexual problems. With the right partner, however, both sexes have a wonderfully dry sense of humour, which leads them to explore new positions with a text-book in one hand and a large grin all over their faces.

There are two types of Aquarians when it comes to sex. The first type can frankly take it or leave it. They need sex as a physical release, but don't become overly keen on it in anything other than a clinical way. The second type sees the sexual act as an almost spiritual practice, and will be the type most likely to get involved in tantric or ritual sex. What both types have in common is an ability to totally separate emotion and sex. In a loving relationship, the Aquarian of either sex is an experimental and open-minded lover, but not a particularly attentive one. Not because they don't care, just because they are so self-reliant that they expect a lover to be so too. Outside of a relationship this sign is capable of being very promiscuous indeed, and not even enjoying it that much! Either type of Aquarian is prone to some rather kinky stuff, but more out of curiosity than fetishism. Aquarius man is the original 'roll over and go to sleep' type, whilst Aquarius woman also doesn't care much for the post-coitus cuddles and small-talk, and would rather get right up and get on with her life.

Of all of the signs, Pisces has the most active sexual fantasy life. Rather surprising for a sign known for its romanticism, but in a good relationship a Piscean makes love with no holds barred. Making love in or near water is a huge turn on for them, and as such the bathroom is a particularly erotic place. Fountains, waterfalls, rivers, lakes and the sea also do the trick, with the added bonus of being pretty scenery for the Piscean imagination to play with. Pisces woman is comfortable with sex in any form, and will encourage a partner to really let go. She loves to teach and instruct, and can be most definitely un-ladylike when the mood takes here. Pisces man is attentive and encouraging in bed, and is particularly keen on sexily tasteful (as opposed to tacky) underwear on his partner. He's also fond of sex toys, and would probably buy one for his partner as the ideal Valentines present! Despite being really rather a raunchy sign, both sexes are incapable of sex without love, and both place a lot of emphasis on affection and tactile contact in day to day life as well as during sex.
