ex is a normal and healthy part of life, and most of us love to go back for the awesome feeling it offers. Just like people have different personalities, they also have different approaches to sex and intimacy. This is where the idea of sex personality types comes in. Sex personality types are categories that describe how people approach sex, intimacy, and relationships. Some might be more spontaneous and adventurous, while others might tilt toward being traditional and cautious.
Dr. Vanessa Marin, a licensed psychotherapist in sex therapy, teaches different sex personality types based on her decades of knowledge garnered by interacting with clients. In this article, we’ll delve into 11 key sex personality types according to the doctor.
Check out the 11 different sex personality types according to Dr. Vanessa Marin…
#1. The Decompressor
If you’re someone who only views sex as a stress relief, a means to blow off some steam or pressure, then this is you. Marin clarifies that these people revel in the afterglow and joy gotten from using sex to de-stress. They get a certain form of peace from it and therefore, work hard to be rewarded with the feelings and relaxation that follow.
#2. The Explorer
In the full sense of the word, explorers “explore” new things during sex. They like to experiment and find new ways to achieve or give pleasure, regardless of whether or not they enjoy it. If it’s something they don’t like, they might not try it again, but the idea of trying new stuff is a big win for them.
#3. The Fair Trader
Give and be given — no two ways about it. These individuals expect some sort of balance, where everything they give out is reciprocated. If they give you pleasure, they expect the same amount of pleasure in return. Simply put, match their energy always.
#4. The Giver
Some folks love it when their partner gets a lot of pleasure. Therefore, they tend to focus more on giving their partner pleasure, neglecting themselves. In other words, these people find pleasure when they give rather than when they receive.
#5. The Guardian
This set of people is known for the need to feel safe and secure when it comes to sex. They care about boundaries and consent, preferring to know that they are safe when committing to sex with someone. Marin reveals that sometimes, this is often found in individuals who endured sexual abuse.
#6. The Passion Pursuer
These people love passionate and intense sex. They are always aware of the energy between them and their partners, hence, they want to feel that during this intense exercise. In their minds, it’s only them and their partners in the world.
#7. The Pleasure Seeker
These people enjoy every bit of sex. They care about how good they feel during sex, so they are pleased with simple things as long as they are being pleasured.
#8. The Prioritizer
This is where sex is prioritized. The Prioritizers need to be desired by their partners, and not always make excuses about why sex can’t happen. They want to be seen, felt, and pleasured. Also, they tend to favor frequent sex and would love their partners to be fully committed to making sex a priority in their relationship.
#9. The Romantic
This sex personality type focuses more on emotions and bonds. The connection felt with a partner during sex is everything. To them, this emotion, bond, or connection is more intimate and gives more pleasure than sex itself.
#10. The Spiritualist
Some people regard sex as a spiritual exercise. These folks believe that through sex, they can connect to a higher power and transcend in a form not visible to the naked eye.
#11. The Thrill Seeker
Kinky sex, dominance, submission, power plays, and naughty things that seem out of the norm during sex give these individuals thrills, which increase the pleasure they get from intercourse.
Dr. Vanessa Marin believes that these sex personality types are all common, and some people might exhibit two or more traits. So, which one are you?
