In Bed byHoroscope (Men) · Chinese Zodiac

The male of the Rat persuasion is not shy when it comes to making sexual advances: you are in most cases the instigator of the affair, and the riskier the better, because you just can't get excited over anything safe and secure. You prefer your assignations and intrigues to be conducted in a romantic locale, safe from prying eyes and potential informers. You have the potential to provide night after night of hot, passionate jungle love. Once hooked, you tend to remain faithful. Even if you stray from time to time you'll wrack yourself with guilt, but your heart will remain committed. It's obvious that you're not the marrying kind, as your constant need for variety will defeat all but the most exceptional partner.

The male Ox can be quite timid when it comes the realm of physical love. You find it difficult to muster the initiative for sex and tend to feel uncomfortable in most sensuous surroundings. You are more turned on by a working relationship, suffused with dependability, love and trust, than by steamy sex. You have a habit of taking your lovers for granted, as your naturally uncommunicative nature does not lend itself well to the transmission of sweet nothings on a regular basis. You can be very suspicious about your partner, and will take steps to insure that you are not being cheated on, no matter what the circumstances. Of course, this tendency towards jealousy can also drive away potential bedmates, if not conducted with a modicum of secrecy.

The male Tiger has a great deal of physical stamina, which results in your being an imaginative and highly acrobatic lover. You are a sprinter and not a marathon man, so that, while unable to go all night long, you can pack an awful lot of loving into discrete hour-long intervals. You prefer exotic, perhaps even dangerous locations for your sexual escapades, and a zest for public lovemaking has nearly gotten you arrested on several occasions. You are a man of single partners, and if you take an extra lover along the way it will be more a matter of your assertion of your independence than it will be another affair of the heart, or even of the genitals. You prefer the inherent dazzle of the potential love rather than the sure sexual conquest.

The male Rabbit, contrary to what might be expected by such a label, does not dive into bed at the drop of a hat. You generally allow others to take the initiative in matters of the body, and prefer a lengthy "getting-to- know-one-another" process before any intimacies are allowed. Of course, once the accepted preliminaries have paved the way for you, you are an ardent lover and a faithful companion. Your sophistication appreciates romance and the arts of seduction, but is repulsed by any glimmer of raw emotion. You're also a bit of the prude in the sack, and while willing to learn, will be turned off by anything too kinky for your delicate sensibilities. Your lack of imagination will end up costing you potential bedmates if not corrected by extensive study.

Sex is very important to the male Dragon: you tend to see sexual expression as an expression of your personal freedom, and will begin to engage in such activities at a fairly young age for your culture and era. This can hamper your appreciation of your partner as an individual, as you will constantly be attempting to use them as merely and instrument for your own emotional ends. Nevertheless, you will perform well in bed, as you do with everything else, even if the personal touch is sometimes lacking. Should true love ever come over you unawares (as it must with all Dragons, male or female, due to your tremendous egos), you will lavish affection on your intended and go out of your way to please them by any means necessary.

The male Snake is witty, passionate and sensual, making for an excellent lover. You are well known for your use of imagination when it comes to spicing up the art of love. You use sex as a method for self-discovery and will thrive in any relationship in which your physical needs are satisfied. You enjoy physical and emotional closeness, but you have a wandering eye that you are prone to indulge once a while, to the great detriment of your more permanent associations. You are highly seductive: the opposite of the snake charmer, you charm others by being almost hypnotically attentive to them, and have no use for the rare specimens of humanity that fail to fall beneath your powerful spell. If your affections are toyed with, you are capable of a vicious backlash, complete with poison.

The male Horse is a wild stallion sexually, able to kick in the stall all night. You are very sensual, and are usually in a mad rush to consummate the relationship. You will employ any means necessary to seduce the object of your passion. You are quite enthusiastic about sex, but this can change at the drop of a hat, as you are also fickle. You may stray repeatedly, as your wandering eye will lead you into temptations that you cannot resist. You expect a certain degree of forgiveness for your indiscretions that, sadly, will not be forthcoming from your army of lovers. Your total immersion in the love process can make it easier for others to overlook your egocentric behavior, although this emotional immunity will only take you so far, so you'd better watch yourself.

The male Goat is a curious, rather than a strictly passionate person. To you, the emotional aspect of sex is as important as the physical aspect: no one night stands for you! You will be hurt and confused if your partner does not reciprocate your emotional commitment to the relationship. You prefer a long, drawn-out game of sexual intrigue, with mannerisms drawn straight from an eighteenth-century novel, in order to satisfy your desire for delicacy and elegance in your love life. Initially you will be timid and uncertain with any one you may identify as a potential new bedmate. You must be certain that you are the apple of your intended's eye, and that there is nobody else in the equation to share the limelight.

The Monkey male is not a prude and has a definite appetite for sex in all of its many forms. You are an inventive and imaginative lover as in all things, and demand that your lover be interesting as a conversationalist as well as a sexual acrobat: good luck finding such perfection! You will soon tire of any relationship that is based purely upon the physical. You have great difficulty remaining faithful to even the best of partners, as you crave novelty and are always of the assumption that the grass will greener on the other side of the fence. Learn to appreciate what you have, and you will have less unnecessary turmoil in your life. At the first sign of trouble, your flight response will automatically kick in. Resist this urge and work things out!

The male Rooster is bold, ostentatious and supremely confident in the sack. You are a whirling ball of pure ego, however, and you always have priority in your own eyes. You are every adept at the arts of seduction, and usually have no trouble in finding suitable partners for your emotional outlets: you make yourself necessary and then completely satisfy the object of your affections, thus obtaining another in a long string of lovers. You are not the monogamous sort. You justify your infidelities by blaming your many consorts for not paying enough attention to you in the first place, thus soothing your none-too-tender conscience. You will only truly pay attention to the truly exceptional specimens in the field.

The male Dog is a sensual and passionate person who values companionship and trust above the physical act of love. You would rather have tenderness as compared to a meaningless series of cheap flings, but it seems as though life is not willing to oblige you at times. Your pursuit of meaning in the person of another is so intense at times as to scare off all of the potential candidates. You are even wary of the ideal match, since the slightest tinge of infidelity will destroy all your cherished illusions of true love, you may very well proceed to poison the wellsprings of the relationship with unwarranted suspicions. You are overly anxious for your partner's unconditional approval and will do anything to please them.

The male Pig is both amorous and frankly sensual: you prefer to express your copious reservoirs of emotion in a deliberately physical manner. You are not shy about sex, and able to communicate your needs and wants to your partner in an efficient manner. Should the chosen one reject you, you have no problem fulfilling your needs with a temporary partner until a new love wanders into your life. Until you finally settle down, and Pigs are destined for marriage in the end, you will experience a series of up-and-down affairs, each one ending in a worse shambles for you than the last. When you've finally had enough, you'll head for the altar. But none of your escapades will ever manage to depress you for long, as Pigs are naturally lighthearted souls.
