The man born under the sign of Scorpio is ruled by his genitalia. He is passionate, emotional, unpredictable. His nature is governed by his desires, and to satisfy them he will accept any challenge, confront any obstacle. Nor will he reckon the consequences. Let others label him a heartless Don Juan; their opinion will not inhibit his restless search for sexual adventure.

It isn't hard to understand why people are drawn to him like steel fillings to a magnet. They respond to his almost hypnotic sensuality. He combines in equal measure charm and strength of character. He seems to have so much energy that he actually exudes it into the atmosphere; it surrounds him like a nimbus wherever he goes.

But there is danger for a woman in getting too close to a Scorpio male. His smoldering sexuality can explode without notice. Volatile, unpredictable, he makes little effort at self-control. Restraint is not a word that can be found in his vocabulary. If you want to flirt with danger without suffering the consequences, stay away from this fellow. High voltage is written all over him.

Lovemaking with him can rise to great heights of passion or descend him into the most depraved acts. A woman who becomes the desired love partner of a Scorpio male has either much to look forward to or much to fear. Nothing will stop her man from achieving his goal, for he is a victim for his desires. In mutual love play, he can be an ardent mate who revels in anything that will excite her. If she is unwilling to be wooed and won, he will literally do anything, take any risk, make every move that will persuade her to yield to him. And if all else fails-rape!

Scorpio never forgets a kindness, never forgives an injury, and if wounded his one aim becomes vengeance! His relations with people usually involve some kind of struggle and strife, and at times he can become violent. He makes enemies all too easily- but let his enemies beware. In any conflict he is an adversary to beware of. He is fierce, headstrong, and tenacious. Those who deal with a Scorpio male must be prepared to make extraordinary efforts to maintain the peace. The tender quality of mercy is not in his makeup, and the way of compromise is not his. If you start trouble with him, be prepared to go to the limit. Because you'll have to. When challenged, Scorpio fights literally to death. In an argument he will put everything at risk, gambling for all or nothing, and let the devil take the loser.

His motivations appear complex and mysterious, for he has a hidden and private side to his personality. He is dynamic and overbearing but loyal to friends. He does not wish to become dependent but needs someone to lean on. Unstable emotionally, he despises weakness in others-but has great appeal for masochistic types who sense his capacity for cruelty and degeneracy.

He tends to waste his energy in dissipation, in the headlong pursuit of pleasure, and he often becomes addicted to alcohol or drugs. However, his chances of conquering the addiction are better than others', for he is possessed of enormous will power and determination.

Work is important to him. Although he dislikes hard physical labor, he has unusual powers of concentration, a vivid imagination, great courage and enterprise-attributes that usually spell success. He is also practical in matters of finance. No one will even persuade him to make change for a three-dollar bill.

A drawback is that he likes to blitz a problem, then forget about it. That sometimes leaves the problem not entirely solved.

In affairs of the heart, he simply won't take no for an answer. He expects you to commit yourself wholly to him and his needs. If you don't he will be ruthless about cutting the ties that bind.

Those born under this sign can be cunning, selfish, and unscrupulous, and these traits are in evidence when they look for sexual adventure. In their view, passion is a law unto itself! Among Scorpio you find the most reckless sex fiends, the most insatiable copulators. They strive for mastery, for complete control over the libido and the emotions.

To the Scorpio male sex is a game in which he has calculated all the odds and has maximum chances for success. He may enjoy the chase but is only interested in the woman that everyone else wants.

You can drive a Scorpio wild with jealousy-but you do so at your own risk. Domineering with women, confident of his power to compel them to perform his will, his strong wayward passions can lead him toward brutality.
In a word, he's a handful.
Beware!
