In Love
You demand the freedom to be your own person, yet you are naturally nurturing and eager to provide your loved ones with whatever they desire.
Generous and loyal to a fault, you pride yourself on always being there for your beloved. Yet despite your sweet, caring nature, you like to do things your own way. Your pride is easily wounded, and you can get really upset when your plans or ideas are challenged. In love, you long for a secure union in which both partners share responsibility equally, without either having to sacrifice any of his or her precious individuality.
In Bed
In bed, you know how to combine the best of tenderness and consideration with passion and erotic excitement. Your intuitive sense is so strong, you usually pick up on your partner’s desires before he or she is even aware of them. When you feel loved, accepted, and appreciated by your mate, you are not afraid to venture into previously untried sexual territory. Behind closed doors, your only aim is to please and be pleased.
Turn-ons
Because you are the one who usually takes care of others, you enjoy being pampered and catered to for a change. The lover who prepares a cozy breakfast in bed or turns the bathroom into a candlelit spa for two, with aromatic bath salts, herbs, and flower petals floating in the water, may expect to be rewarded with more than just a kiss on the cheek.
Reality Check
Safety may be important to you, but you’re adventurous enough to take chances, especially when you believe that the odds are in your favor. You have a deep appreciation of higher values and intangible beauty, yet you rarely allow your idealism or artistic sensibilities to stand in the way of practical considerations.
