How long does the honeymoon last for Scorp men?

My Scorp/Sag man (55yo)and I (Virgo, 47yo) have been together for almost 6 months now. We are both madly in love, planning on moving in together, planning vacations together, etc.
When we first got together we'd have sex 1-3 times per week. As time has gone one, the frequency and intensity has increased to the point where now, we are having sex 8-10 times per week (and we don't even see each other every day LOL).

Based on the last couple of weeks, I can't say I see any indications of it slowing down at all, in fact probably continue to increase. I'm not complaining because I am loving every minute/hour of this and can't get enough of him.

I know Scorps are very sexual and I guess I'm wondering if, once they are committed to a relationship, does the "honeymoon" end?

No, they pretty much stay that way. It will probably be you who starts declining sex for the normal reasons: too tired, don't feel well, have to get up early, etc.

And then he'll sulk over the rejection for days.

"I know Scorps are very sexual and I guess I'm wondering if, once they are committed to a relationship, does the "honeymoon" end?"

Well...hon...this isnt a sign thing. It's a relationship thing. Of course the "honeymoon" ends. Doesnt mean you'll stop having sex. Just means as the relationship progresses, focus changes.

It's only been 6 months.

"Scorps tend to be ready at a drop of the hat if we feel secure in our relationship. Plus there is this weird energizing thing about sex"

LOL Absolutely! Scorpio is the sign of sex and death after all. The books say sex is how Scorpio expresses their affection and emotion in a relationship, because they often do not feel comfortable verbalizing it. I've found this to be very true.

"Well...hon...this isnt a sign thing. It's a relationship thing. Of course the "honeymoon" ends. Doesnt mean you'll stop having sex. Just means as the relationship progresses, focus changes.

I know it's only been 6 months. I guess the point is that, in comparision, this is the most intense relationship (both physical as well as emotional) that I've experienced. Most of my other relationship, start out really hot and heavy (sexually) and then by this time, settled into more of a routine. As another responder mentioned, he (and ) are pretty much ready to go at the drop of a hat still.
From reading this board, it sounds like once a Scorp falls, they fall with tremendous intensity (which I firmly believe and see).
Since we are both talking very long-term with the relationship, I'm wondering if this is what is to be expected, long-term or not?

Well...what I'm trying to tell you is that, 5 years from now, 10 years from now, you're not going to still be having sex 10 times a week. When you have it, it will be intense cuz scorp men are intense.

The frequency will change. And that is the reality of ALL relationships.

"From reading this board, it sounds like once a Scorp falls, they fall with tremendous intensity (which I firmly believe and see)."

Absolutely! Because sexual expression is so tied to their emotional expression and because it is so important to them, if they do stop wanting to have sex, I would worry that more than just that aspect of the relationship is suffering. Moreso than with other signs, because...well the other signs are more easily able to express their emotions and affection in other ways.

the honeymoon with a scorp/sag will last 666 days exactly.

LOL @ X

My Scorp on Scorp relationship is also very sexual and what Sea Siren said about showing our emotions with sex is very true. It is sometimes very hard for us to verbalize and talk all mushy with each other. But the funny thing is that being a scorp myself, I'm not comfortable verbalizing it but I crave for them to verbalize the love to me. My Scorp is the same way so we both have to work on verbalizing it to each other. My scorp is out of town for a week and sex is not available so I have been trying to tell him that I miss him and other mushy things and he has been trying to do the same. It is so hard to get used to. I've never been the mushy verbal type in a relationship. We actually talked about how we want to be this way with each other though because we think it's important for the security of the relationship. We both need the verbal as well as the pyhysical to feel secure. Having both is really powerful. I think that this will be the saving grace of the relationship if the honeymoon is ever over. I don't see it ever being over though unless it is just natural sexual problems that can come when we get older.

Pardon my denseness but these two responses seem conflicting.

Once indicates that eventually he will not want sex as often (which is what I would expect of any relationship), however the other suggests that him NOT wanting sex as often is a cause for concern. I realize two people, from different perspectives wrote these but how does one tell the difference?

Of course, as another poster mentioned, the frequency may decline more because I may not be able to keep up at this pace especially once menopause kicks in (not that far away).

"I've never been the mushy verbal type in a relationship."

I haven't either, gs. Scorp is my rising sign and then I have a very strong aquarian influence from three other placements which makes me far more detached and analytical than a water sign usually is. With my scorpio, I've found the analytical aspect is something we have very much in common, but the mushies...we both have a problem with that. Like you and yours, we have discussed it and we're both making an effort. Sometimes one of us will say something fuzzy-wuzzy and then we'll just look at each other and laugh because of the herculean task it is to say it. 😉

Since you both have acknowledged that hurdle and agreed to work on it, you are on the right path. Just don't close off from each other after fights. My god....that could turn into WWIII.

Just checking your definition of "honeymoon"....is that code for having lots of sex? The sex thing with Scorpio should only get better with time. And that's a good thing.

"Of course, as another poster mentioned, the frequency may decline more because I may not be able to keep up at this pace especially once menopause kicks in (not that far away)."

Of course the frequency will change. It's if they stop wanting to have sex altogether that I was talking about. Don't freak....lol you'll be okay. Don't worry about this stuff now...there's no point. Just let things unfold.

"It is sometimes very hard for us to verbalize and talk all mushy with each other."

He and I are the same. Although we both have managed to utter the ILUs they are very infrequent. We tend to express, verbally, our feelings through "code words/expressions."

He'll often tell me "you are quite the woman" or "you are the best ever". At first, I thought, what the heck does he mean by that? Now I know that it's easier for him to express his feelings that way.

"Of course the frequency will change. It's if they stop wanting to have sex altogether that I was talking about. Don't freak....lol you'll be okay. Don't worry about this stuff now...there's no point. Just let things unfold."

Not freaking at all. Just trying to figure out if I need to get some female version of viagra. LOL

"Just checking your definition of "honeymoon"....is that code for having lots of sex?"

Not just the sex but the overall intensity of the relationship. Granted most of that intensity leads to sex. LOL

"The sex thing with Scorpio should only get better with time. And that's a good thing."

I've definitely seen that already and can't imagine it getting better than right now. But if is MUST get better than I guess that's something I can live with. LOL

Even if something happens and the sex changes. Menopause for you or other problems with him. Just make sure that the physical closeness does not change and that their is plenty of verbal communication and everything will be fine.

I am already beginning to see a difference in liking to have sex at the same time. I like to have sex at night and he likes it in the morning. Actually, I think he likes it just anytime, but I'm not much of a sex in the morning type, but I know it's important for him to feel close in the morning so I accomodate and I get many rewards for it like coffee and breakfast in bed. :-) I just make mornings all about him and try to get it over with fast. Hahaha!! He always wants to please me too though and I just don't have much sensation in the mornings and it takes me forever.

Cjmolly, I am so digging all that sexy you and your man are having. Can I get some of your DNA to inject myself with? 😛

LMAO!!! 🙂

"My Scorp on Scorp relationship is also very sexual and what Sea Siren said about showing our emotions with sex is very true. "

Ok, I'm confused... my Scorp/Sag ex wants to have sex with me but he just wants a booty call, all others want to deeply connect emotionally. Just a slight hi-jack. Why is this different for me, again? 😢

That should be, OTHERS SAY he just wants a booty call. ^^^^

My Scorp explains it like this. For years he has felt dead because he has not felt anything with his heart for anyone. His way of trying to feel was through having sex with different women in the hopes that he would feel something, but then just feel worse afterwards. It is very important to get completely into a Scorpios heart before having sex. That is truly what they crave. That can be very fast with a Scorpio because it doesn't happen often so when it does it is explosive. When I met my scorp we spent a total of 16 hours on the phone between our first and second date so I know that I was in his heart because no man spends that much time on the phone with just anybody. I was determined to make sure that he was not just seeing me sexually. So by the time we had sex he had already made the decision that while we were seeing where our relationship was going to go that he had no intentions of being with anyone else.

gslove that's so hott!

I certainly believe few men spend that kind of time on the phone so for a Scorpio to, that's awesome. 🙂

Yes, my SO and I have known each other for many years. He pursued me for a long time before we actually dated. On our first date, he wanted to sleep with me but was sure about making a move. 2nd date is all it took.

My bf's a scorp and I'm a virgo (just like you two)
We've been together for almost two years now.
We'd gone through a lot together (broken up a numerous times for a week or two max each break up) but things are getting better and better everyday
Well... my bf is VERY good at expressing himself verbally.. I dunno if that's usual for scorps.. but I gotta tell you, as a Virgo, I've never felt so open and honest in a relationship and not to mention VERY INTENSE... we have our ups and downs but he always makes me feel loved and puts up with all my insecurities and doubts... and the sex thing... yeah.. I think I might need the female version of viagra too.. maybe 2-4 times/day..? if we see each other all day that is.. he's just awesome... i think scorps are very good for us virgos... (once we get through our differences and work things out together).. so.. just be happy and have fun!

*BUMP*

" It is very important to get completely into a Scorpios heart before having sex. That is truly what they crave. .... When I met my scorp we spent a total of 16 hours on the phone...."

I hear you gslove. Me and my scorpio spent 17.5 hours on the phone before our first date. The only reason he even got off the phone was because his teenage son was nagging him for attention (he wasn't used to his dad being that "into" someone). My scorp said he NEVER talked to anyone on the phone or ANYWHERE else before that long! lol

We are married now. 🙂

Mmmmm this lion is liking what he reads!! I can't wait to make this scorpio lady I've been dating, mine. 8-10 times per week...Now you're starting to get like those lions on the Discovery channel....Still need to catch up though 😉
