What's Your Sex Sign? Here's How to Find Out

Most of us know our zodiac signs. You could be an Aries, Leo, Capricorn, Gemini or so forth.

You are probably also familiar with which element you fall into (earth, water, air or fire, depending on your birthdate). Pisces, for example, is a water sign.

But, did you know there’s such a thing as sex signs? And do you know yours?

It’s the start of a new year, so why not find out?

Sex signs explained

Like astrology, there are FOUR sex elements – water, earth, air and fire, created by Dr. Jen Freed, a psychological astrologer and emotional education trainer,

However, just because you’re a Gemini, doesn’t necessarily make you a water sex sign. Basically, your astrology zodiac sign and your sex sign don’t have much to do with one another.

Instead, it’s more about what you bring to the table, sexually.

Dr Freed outlines the various sex signs and how to tell which one you are. You will be able to identify with a few statements from every element, but you will have a dominant sign – the one that sounds the most like you.

Here we break it down for you:

SEX SIGNS: WATER

Need emotional connection to drive sexual energy
Finds that the best sex is built on intimacy
Has been known to cry during or after sex
Likes to feel emotionally safe
Enjoys the feeling of being ‘merged’ as one
Loves intense eye contact
Loves being listened to
Sensitive and empathetic

Water sexers are the emotional powerhouses who thrive on connection – it doesn’t matter if it’s slow, fast, upside down or in the back of a car, as long as there is emotion driving it.

SEX SIGNS: AIR

Likes to talk about sex
Enjoys dirty talk
Is known to get a little kinky at times
A bit of a rule breaker
Enjoys knowing the other person is satisfied
Likes erotica and sexting
Loves openness and PDA
Creative and adventurous, with a bit of humour thrown in

Air sexers are the confident, cool, creative, and chatters of the bunch. They love sex talk in the bedroom but also don’t mind discussing their sex lives at the dinner table. Their sexual energy comes from their communicative and creative spirit and they are always up for a bit of an adventure.

SEX SIGNS: EARTH

Enjoys going slow and taking their time
Likes to be touched everywhere
Prefers to have a plan in place over spontaneity
Likes a romantic setting
Prefers to stick to a certain routine
Enjoys cuddles before and after
Thrives on connection, stability and closeness
Prefers slow, steady and buildable energy
Enjoys massages and flirty dancing
Masters of foreplay
Enjoy giving sexual advice to others

Earth sexers are the master love makers – the ones that take their time and savour every moment. No quickies here – the best sexual encounters are premeditated and designed for pleasure.

SEX SIGNS: FIRE

Prefers to be in control and initiate
Loves to use toys, role play, and wear costumes
Thrives on spontaneity
Enjoys quickies and adventurous settings (public sex is a-ok).
Doesn’t mind it rough
Enjoys the thrill of being caught
Loves dirty weekends away (if you can escape the kids!)
Often gets too carried away by sex to focus on foreplay

No surprise here – Fire sexers are fiery. They are bold, energetic and here for a good time, not necessarily a long one. They love to think outside the bedroom and are always up for a bit of kinky fun.
