Who is prone to promiscuity or casual sex? Are there aspects or placements that you think can predict this. Is it mainly about Mars?

Good Lord, what's that?   Cancer Mars, Virgo Venus.<!--Session data-->

Jessica - ha ha ha!

Mars Uranus is prone to spontaneous sex, Mars Jupiter, sexual adventure, Gemini Mars - variety...

I also have Cancer Mars...

Or what about the people who are seeking love, but "use" sex to find love. Or so they think? What's the psychology? Is this a Plutonian issue? Or Neptunian confusion?

Maybe it's even more of a Venus issue than a Mars issue! What do you guys think???

To me, sex is always symbolic of something else.

I do have Mars-Uranus.  But it ain't casual.  Don't get in bed with me if you're not serious as a heart attack.  Do, on the other hand, prepare to be surprised.

moonpluto, no wonder we are all about this thread... and security.... and TOTALLY agreed about symbolic of something else.

(WTF with my 'session data!'... argh, Firefox)<!--Session data-->

Oh my, I have Mars/Jupiter opposed...Big sex lol

An astrologer once told me I had a tendency to promiscuity but never gave the astrology!

 I do have venus opp 5th house jupiter.

Also sun conjunct mars/pluto maybe that's it.

I have both Pisces Mars AND Pisces Venus, I've always wondered about that because I've never heard of anyone's being the same before.

 Also, what do you guys think about Aries Mars? I would think they'd be prone to promiscuity as well...

Ive got venus square mars, venus conjunct uranus.  I'll have casual sex but only if the other person is cool.  

this is actually less and less true as I've gotten older, when I was younger I was a sex maniac.  I like to think i use a little more discretion now.

haha Jessica I'm the same way. (I have Venus and Virgo and Mars conj Vesta. Mars is in Sag trine Jupiter and sq Uranus.)

The more I look and my husband's and my own charts I think we should each be feeling mighty honored/privileged that the other deemed us worthy enough haha.

Mars in Aries: loves to hunt!

With all this stuff, it really depends. Can't look at one thing... But for sure I can't imagine mars in aries being shy about it --

And maybe they move fast in bed?
Not the slow sensual type. Thinking of men here--

And watch: I say this and the slow and sensual aries mars will show up to prove me wrong :)

I have a Mars/Uranus but never did spontaneous casual sex! :P 

How about Mars square Venus (another aspect I have)? 

I tend not to engage in spontaneous casual sex however, I dive in to sex at the early part of the relationship (once monogamy has been established).

This is such an interesting topic, I'm loving it haha.

My boyfriend is a Mars Aries and moonpluto you pretty much hit the nail on the head. 

Lunalie, I read somewhere about mars square venus people always falling for the wrong people too quickly, maybe with sex it just means being attracted to people who aren't "relationship material?" just my thoughts.

In my experience, if you have mars square venus natally, you run hot and cold (towards the other person)

I have Mars in Aries (conjunct Venus) but it squares my Moon, and trine Saturn I only have casual sex if I'm happy. And the person is cool, like notariem said.

My long term relationship is now over and I don't want another one anytime soon, but Aries Mars is already a bit, er, anxious about where her next meal is coming from...

kylie:

This is very true. Contrary to having a Venus in Taurus, I tend to commit very quickly and THEN jump into the sack with that person almost immediately. My Venus is squared by Mars and opposed by Uranus, so it is right that I've been prone to whirlwind romances. The only exception is my boyfriend, whom it took 4 years of friendship for something to happen. This is after knowing so much about each other already as we've been close friends for that time.

moonpluto:

I don't think I've ever felt "hot and cold" toward a person before. Do you have this aspect? And find that this happens? I find that I do tend to go "cold" when I no longer love somebody the same way I used to. 

Not shy, but I am slow, in my own way. Maybe that's Saturn's influence.

Lunalie: I don't have mars square venus but have friends who do -- and it seems to be the case with them during their relationships - they just run hot and cold. The guy is all that....and then they lose interest....but it may spark up again!

Gosh, Kash I think your comments really nail the mars in aries. Kind of an unstoppable force huh? Got to have it--

yup. it's embarrassing  ha ha ha

I did terrible with the ex-ex (he had venus in aquarius and no sex drive). world-changing connection with the recent ex (venus conjunct moon in scorpio). 

With Uranus in the 7th opposite the Moon and trine to Jupiter (5th) and Neptune (8th), plus Venus (Aries 2nd) squaring Jupiter (5th) & inconjunct Pluto (7th) I often am asked how many times I have been married & how often I cheat.

Mars in Aries conjunct Venus in Pisces, conjunct Pisces sun.

I've had casual sex, but far prefer the relationship, "I'm being adored" variety.

luci, LOL

I have had casual sex but only after I had the sex and didn't like it in which case the guy was dismissed ;-)

I LOVE casual sex. and I don't mind any kind of gender. BUT my Mars in Capricorn(square Pluto) ruins it by controlling the slut in me. :-/

I've been in a serious monogamous relationship for 5 1/2 years and have been faithful but I want some sexual variety damn it. Venus in Sag conjunct Neptune.

I'm open to all things sexual but my partner has a Saturn conjunct Mars in Scorpio and doesnt care for casual or Open relationships. eh.

Elsa! The casual sex I had was during my very nasty divorce. It's natural for a Pisces to seek comfort in the arms of a lover, see? But, man, that's not ME. I like the flirting and the desire and the chase, but....it needs to lead to something else.

 I quickly figured out that it wasn't going to make the hurt go away and stopped doing it.

I hear you Luci...its like that episode of Sex and the City where Carries wants to have sex like a man- you think you can, but afterwards you can't & you still want their name to come up on the mobile.

I looooove casual sex. I deeply enjoy the freedom, spontaneity, and ego boost that it gives.  Mars in Leo trine Uranus and Jupiter.  Plus my Gemini Moon needs to live a double life.

I've had plenty of casual sex in my time and with one exception I always felt better after it. 

I too have Venus in Sag, and Mars in Capricorn squared from Pluto (tip o' the hat to you Bretagne) and if I don't have an outlet for the energy it makes it's own, and usually its not good, because I find I just like to disrupt things and eff shit up sometimes and you plug a little sexual charge into that crap (Or a whole lot) and it can be spectacular in a bad way. 

I also have Uranus sextile Mars and most of the casual sex I've had was impulsive.

Usually the day after I feel recharged and jazzed up.

I think one of the things I like about it is because its more a physical than emotional thing. I have a neptune square to my moon and I find emotions overwhelming and as a result exhausting. I am very careful about getting into a serious/deep relationship because typically it takes months if not years for me to sort myself out afterward to the point where I can (really) engage in a new relationship.  

I was never into casual sex.  Not with Mars in Leo conjunct the Sun (Ya better treat me like the Queen that I know I am!) and a Venus/Pluto conjunction in Virgo. 

Thought about it, Moon Sag, but never had it,  Venus/Mars Cap.

Sex is NEVER casual!  Fleeting, passing away, short-lived, but casual?  Um. NO!

Scorp Sun opp. Mars Taurus in house 7; Aries Moon; Venus in Sag House 1; Venus opp. Mars; Mars sq. midheaven; Mars opp. ascendant; Mars opposite Jupiter; Mars square Uranus; Mars inconj. Saturn.

The lusty goat has come out in me a couple of times especially since it sits in the 5th house, but the Venus Pisces and Mars Cancer haven't felt comfortable about it.  Never a one night stand....more like short intense, out of nowhere, bursts of fantastical love stories...

haha Elsa, retroactively casual.

There are some gooooood stories coming out of this thread.  I love Midara's and jana's answers. 

Bella, I bet the Jupiter in 5th is what made them say that.  So, have you ever acted on it? 

I love hearing that some people feel recharged by casual sex, because I feel depressed by having sex with someone I'm not in a relationship with.  It's thrilling to hear how we're all different.  Love this thread.

Yeah, Jessica, I love it too. Fascinating responses. And like you I also feel depressed by it. Empty. Of course I never wanted it to be casual. I mean: I never had casual sex on purpose. I always hoped/thought? it was or would be more--

I wish I felt recharged by it. Dang. A charge in the moment perhaps. But then........ oy. I rather have the early bird special at a diner in mid-town :)

moonpluto and Jessica:

I'm so with you there! :) I've actually known more people who can just do casual sex and here I am - I can't even kiss a guy I have no feelings for! 

I, too, love how different we all are. I think it's rad. 

I have a lot of ideas and views about sex that I don't always share. Because of my religious upbringing I'm sensitive to being judged, so it's nice not to feel judged. 

All I know is I had my first big-bang with casual sex, so...my perspective is biased. 

Do TELL, kash!!!  I would love to hear the story about this big bang.<!--Session data-->

I agree with what's being said about Mars sq Venus running hot and cold. I almost _enjoy_ the indecision: "Do I? Don't I? I never thought I'd find X kind of person attractive"

Going for the wrong type of people resonates too, but I thought that was Neptune opp venus & sq mars' fault. And with Saturn con Mars & sq venus it's not like I'm gonna do anything about it anyway :-)

Moonpluto, I'm Mars in Aries and darn it, can someone tell me how to have casual sex and not be so damn emotional about it? I'm a woman and I'm gay so does that have any bearing? I don't know if I'm the slow sensual type (although that last time darn it I'm writing this and it's the 4th of July - it was on the 4th last year - I so need to learn about this thing you call 'more' casual sex), but I am very sensual.

Is it my darn Cancer rising that gets in the way of having fun? I can't seem to keep my emotional world out of it.

I think I'm going to place in my mind...what I seek are 'intimate friendships' since I do value my friends greatly yet I don't want a 'girl friend' today.

Seriously, to all those who can have casual sex without getting all emotional, how do you do it? It's like I want to get to know them more not less after we're physically intimate.

-signed,
desperately seeking casual sex without emotional connections

Hi everyone. Love this thread. I'm back from hiatus. Hope everybody's none the worse for wear with the onset of Uranus retro. 

How do you categorize feeling casual about sex in a secure and long-term relationship?  I have virgo mars and cancer venus, never been one to treat sex casually. BUT have moments of feeling casual about sex in a long-term environment. The responses I read here are quite interesting. 

For me sex starts and ends in my head.  There should always be a fantasy involved.  If my partner doesn't understand this weird sequence before it gets physical, then it feels like casual for me.  Of late, my interest gravitates to tantra and as close to spiritual sex as I can.  I have been working on isolating my sexual energy and how that energy evolves over time.  Again, I'm looking at sex here as an activity worthy of scientific research.

Sometimes it pays off.  I get to come just by thinking about it.  Weird huh.  Beat that.

Where most people attributes their sexuality with the mars/venus tandem, I closely identify with my jupiter conjuncts both my juno and ceres in pisces in my 8th house.  I would say that having this aspect is a deterrent of true bonding at the physical level alone.  For me, it has to be a lot more than that.  My yearning to merge should be addressed on all levels.  Everytime it happens, I get revitalized and energized that I could literally see my skin glow and tiny facial lines disappear!

I guess I don't get that with casual sex.
