Sagittarius
Such a list of lovely traits: broadminded, enthusiastic, passionate, charming, impulsive. He or she could talk you into following them home and you'd still think it was your idea the next morning. Don't leave your toothbrush though -- you're not staying that long. I know a lovely Sagittarian that I've been keeping at arms-length for years, because with all the zipping and zagging about he did, I thought he needed taking care of, and that seemed like too much work to do over and above the sex. Silly me, I realize now I could have had that man whenever I wanted -- I just had to send him on his way afterwards. (Where are my car keys? I've got some catching up to do.)
The Sagittarius woman is direct in her pursuit: "I want you," and generous with her affections: "Did you need to come again?" Nothing is that easy though, and what are you going to do when trying to make her jealous doesn't work? Does that mean you get to sleep with other people? It might.
The Sagittarian man is the epitome of the hunter -- the seduction is everything. When he says he loves you, it's not just because he's got his cock buried balls-deep inside you, he means it. He loves you...and you, and you too.
Want it to be finders-keepers? -- Never bore these people, ever. When faced with the choice of black-tie and fine china, or flannel and campfire pots, under the starry skies will win every time. The great outdoors appeals immensely to the Sagittarian, and not sex in the car in the parking lot; fucking in the forests, fellatio in the fields, green knees instead of rug burns when you're ass up on a carpet of moss. How many times did you hear "Go outside and play"? You're just a bigger kid now, so get going, there's a Sagittarian out there somewhere just waiting.
The hips and thighs are Sag's erogenous zones, so do spend lots of time tickling and stroking, licking and nibbling those often ignored spots. We seldom admire the framework when we're waiting to get in, but we should. Isn't it nice when the door swings open and inside it's so warm that the windows and walls are dripping with humidity and it smells so good you just want to eat it all up? Standing on the doorstep just makes it even better when you get inside.
SAGITTARIUS-ARIES
Their mutual love of the outdoors (see above) and reluctance to pass up any opportunity that presents itself can lead to a very satisfying sex-life, and the occasional sliver or thorn. Both have rather explosive tempers, but when you don't have to wait to get home in bed to make up, arguments and disagreements become less important.
SAGITTARIUS-TAURUS
Really, Sagittarius is just passing through Taurus's space messing up all the rooms on the way -- and Sag is not staying home for any length of time -- certainly no longer than the after-coitus cuddling takes.
SAGITTARIUS-GEMINI
Even though these are opposite signs, their mutual adventurousness connects them in bed -- as long as there is no talking involved -- not even pillow-talk -- but Gemini loves to talk. Don't even bother telling Sagittarius that he's got the biggest cock you've ever seen -- he's a hunter, he'll just think his weapon is better than he thought -- better go use it. Their mutual rootlessness causes them both to move on.
SAGITTARIUS-CANCER
Sagittarius is intrigued with Cancer's sexuality and romanticism, but can't bear the jealousy and moodiness that goes with this relationship. The best part of this union is going to be the chase and capture.
SAGITTARIUS-LEO
Leo loves freedom and drama, and Sagittarius can handle Leo's huge ego. Fortunately Leo's passion is fueled by the Hunter's fight against ownership. When he showers attention on another it angers Leo, but in the ego-machine that is Leo, this just makes her want to prove to him that she is the better lover. A doomed spiral of emotion to be sure, but the ties that bind are never too tight for some.
SAGITTARIUS-VIRGO
Sagittarius just cannot interpret Virgo's concerns as the love that it is. Virgo needs commitment, and Sagittarius just can't do much beyond committing to the right now while I'm in you, you're in me, or we manage to be in each other at the same time.
SAGITTARIUS-LIBRA
Libra the romantic can become hooked by Sagittarius's lust for life. Libra is no stranger to the art of flirtation, and can work Sag just fine. When Libra saunters out the door with another and casts a wink on the way -- Sag will follow. He doesn't have to be the alpha-hunter all the time, as long as he's in on the game.
SAGITTARIUS-SCORPIO
Even though Sagittarius allows Scorpio their little mind-games between the sheets, they will not be controlled beyond that. Scorpio tries to keep the set-them-free karma going, but really can't do it for any length of time. If she can just figure out that she doesn't have to keep him just because she's seen him in her lacy underpants, it could work.
SAGITTARIUS-SAGITTARIUS
As with other like-signs, the initial sameness work...for a bit. These two make fabulous fuck-buddies -- Gay, Bi, Straight, whatever -- but they will always eventually pull away. You can't hunt the hunter too many times.
SAGITTARIUS-CAPRICORN
Look away...run even. Capricorn's slow steady approach to everything drives fast and flighty Sagittarius away. Sag will want out so quickly she may forget to untie poor Capricorn before heading out the door.
SAGITTARIUS-AQUARIUS
Sagittarius's experimentalism fuels the Aquarian's innovativeness. Watch out! Either one could be hanging upside down in the basement being penetrated with -- oh, pick something from the tool bench...and they'd both be loving every minute of it. Whose turn is it now?
SAGITTARIUS-PISCES
These two can appeal to each other on several levels. Pisces' spiritualism calms Sagittarius somewhat, while Sagittarius's zest for life and living fires up the sometimes cool Piscean. So where does this leave us here? Not too hot and not too cool? The middle is never where Sagittarius wants to be, unless it's between two Libras.
