ENTPs and emotional intimacy vs sexual intimacy

Question/Poll

I was wondering if this is a ENTP trait, but I treat my emotional intimacy the same way some people treat their sexual intimacy. If I open up before I'm ready or I'm pressured to be more vulnerable then I'm comfortable with I feel cheap and almost naked.

I can't create emotional connections through sexual intimacy like other people (the presence or absence of sex dosnt determine my emotions for someone, I will feel the same way about them afterwards) as all my connections comes from emotional intimacy. I can easily love someone I've never slept with and develop a deep romantic connection through simply talking. Being betrayed by someone I had sex with dosnt hurt nearly as much as being betrayed by someone I opened up to.

I think as we're Ne dominant we tend to think alot about the meaning behind peoples actions and sex dosnt always have meaning- a person might sleep with you just to scratch an itch. But opening up always absolutely does mean something.

I don’t believe it’s exclusively or specifically an ENTP trait, but I largely agree that intimacy is complex for ENTPs since we approach the world in an open, abstract, and rational manner. I also concur that I need multiple forms of intimacy to feel a deep connection with someone—no one form of intimacy is sacred.

The only part I would counter is that opening up means something. I’m essentially an open book at this point and I’m more constrained by what I perceive other people want to hear rather than what I want to discuss.

I have no idea if that has to do with being an ENTP, but yes, i do relate. It's all mental.

If you want to understand sexual and emotional intimacy a bit more in different kind of individuals , you just need to ask for their zodiac sign and ascendant.

If you know the person ascendant and zodiac sign then you will be able to find out how important sexual intimacy is to one person. For example for those who have fire sign sexual intimacy and passion is really important, yet for a air sign it’s less significant, it can be important too for them but they might not crave sexual attraction all that much.

The reason why you need to check your ascendant too is because even if let’s say you are a Libra ( which is air sign) but your ascendant is Sagittarius ( fire sign ) then probably sexual interaction is really essential or important for you.

I hope what l’m trying to express understandable🫶♥️

Yo are you able to tell me HOW zodiac signs do all this stuff? I could easily be into it but I just can't fathom it

They don't. They give you a vague description of yourself (and half of them sound the same btw) which people fall for because it strokes their ego and tells them they already are who they want to be.

Actually they can show this well. Tough l see your point, people tend to fall for the common humbug they hear about zodiac signs, and hear that a lot as a Gemini that l’m toxic because l was borne in may , or my Scorpio friend that she is slut and you must be careful they will get revenge on you if you hurt them. Please don’t believe in those because it’s like saying that all ENTP is toxic ( just an example not true ) and all ISTP is a slut , whoever would say these obviously sound stupid. These are just traits to find your self better , not like every fire sign gonna be a “ slut” or that people with air sign are not interested in sexual intimacy. Still l think everyone should know this about them selves ,even if it’s just for you ego ( if you see it that way) because now days people are so negative about what they are capable of this might also be a good way of showing that they have the power in them just gotta reach it.

Overall there’s 4 element fire🔥 , air💨, earth 🍃, water🌊.

• the fire elements are Leo, Aries , Sagittarius If you have fire sign you might be passionate when it comes to sexual intimacy, it probably more necessary for you. • Imagine a fire and Aries is in the top of it like the outside of the fire the reddish flames. • Leo is in the middle of the fire , they rule they have calmness and tend to be good rulers. •And Sagittarius very passionate lover, but they need a partner who gives them freedom to create either business or a painting…. And so on and so forth. Love sexual intimacy, almost crucial though don’t take away the freedom. They are in the hottest part of the fire where the sticks burn, l think it’s not good to be their enemies but that’s just my personal opinion ( my dad and sister is a Sagittarius).

• the air elements are Libra , Gemini , Aquarius If you have air sign sexual intimacy can be important but not necessary not the first priority in a relationship. There is three part of the air: • Upper winds - Gemini - they are in the upper part of the sky like the wind which moves the clouds and takes information to places • In the middle there’s - Libra - they are in the middle so they tend to be calm and have a strong passion for doing the right thing, they are like the gentle breeze that caresses what it meets. • Then there comes - Aquarius- they are the wind on the ground, if you can sum it up like that, from the three air sign they are the ones who get to the bottom of things the best, and they can also come like a tornado.

•the earth element Taurus , Virgo , Capricorn If you have an earth sign please write it down cause l don’t know much about earth signs 😞

•the water element Pisces , Scorpio , Cancer If you have a water sign you probably like to give in a relationship ship , either sexually or emotionally or just by buying your partner things.I thing this is also passionate way of showing love. Sensitive emotionally. • imagine a lake and there is the surface of it where let’s say the ducks would swim - cancer - is in the surface of the lake that’s why they connect with the moon , the smallest waves can disturb them. • Pisces is in the middle of the lake where the fishes swim they are fine when they have some boundaries set for them , like the fish needs a stream to go down or else they will just swim back and forth • the Scorpion goes down to the depths of the mud in the lake ( l mean that they go deep in knowledge ) they have a lot of energy too.

And here comes why is knowing your ascendant important?:

Let’s say your zodiac sign is Libra ( calm, the priority is not sex in a relationship ) but if your ascendant is Sagittarius ( passionate, sex is important ) then you are probably a passionate lover. Though you need to find which one is more dominant Libra or Sagittarius, when you look into your self. ( This is my dad)

We can also say that your zodiac sign is Gemini ( fast thinker , information taker, sex is not the first priority, not very calm) but your ascendant is Libra ( calm, values righteousness , sex also not a priority) then my friend not much to say here. ( That’s me )

Or your zodiac sign is Leo ( ruler , calm values intimacy) and your ascendant is Sagittarius ( passionate very passionate, needs freedom to create, loves sex ) then you are definitely a hot 🥵 lover. ( My sister)

I tried to give you real examples around my family. If you want to know more or still have some questions than just say it l will try to sum it up✨.

Use this to find your ascendant you just need to write down when and where you were born, and it will give you the answer. ♥️

Thanks for the detailed explanation! I can see what the different zodiacs mean but I still don't understand how it happens and what makes it all happen

Well l believe in reincarnation , so for me it’s like before coming to this body you decide who you want to born to , and when. Because zodiac sign’s are connected to when you where born it’s kind of like a new challenge for you, like in this life l was born as someone who got Gemini as her zodiac and l need to give information to others, my ascendant as a Libre for balance and my rising moon Aquarius ( which is what l need to “ become” in this life - considering karma ). I believe that zodiac signs work like a map for you to understand why you were born when you were born, just a simple map you can use to find out about your self nothing more. ♥️
