In Love
In an intimate relationship, you’re openhearted and generous but also exacting and demanding. When you care deeply, you’re quite lavish in expressing your feelings. A romantic idealist, you’re in love with being in love and with the drama and excitement of a close relationship. You require constancy from your partner, yet your own need for adulation and admiration makes you something of a flirt. You expect a great deal from love, and if it turns sour you feel devastated. Yet even when you are disappointed, you’re usually not lonely very long. An innate optimism fuels your search for a new soul mate.
In Bed
Sensual and strongly sexed, your need for love and affection makes you an ardent and passionate lover. Physical intimacy invigorates you and makes you feel alive and fulfilled. You’re at your best with a lover who unabashedly adores you. In return, you’re giving and considerate and concerned with pleasing your mate. Demonstrative and romantic between the sheets, you long to soar to the heights of ecstasy. In addition to your physical vitality, you have a way with words that is practically guaranteed to arouse your partner.
Turn-ons
You adore comfort and luxury and like being waited on and catered to by your bedmate. Glamorous surroundings turn you on and also provide an appropriate setting for your lovemaking. Seduction is a dramatic art form to you, and you enjoy playing the role of either seducer or seducee. When you’re in the mood for love, you’ll pursue the object of your affection with leonine intensity.
Reality Check
Your typical demeanor is one of cheerfulness, and gloom and doom have no place in your life. On the rare occasion that you seem dejected or depressed, it’s usually because someone has hurt your pride or compromised your dignity.
