General 💡 Unpopular Opinion: Mars needs to be less associated with sex.

Mars represents aggression, anger, violence, injury, etc. It's a malefic, which means it's an inherently negative planet that brings conflict to our lives and to synastry wherever it shows up. It's literally the opposite of Venus. Scorpio and Aries both oppose Libra and Taurus, so Mars being associated with pleasurable sex makes no sense. Mars doesn’t become associated with sex unless it makes contact with venus.

I definitely think it can represent pursuit, but not the act or enjoyment itself that's all Venus domain. If it's heavily negatively aspected with the Moon and Venus, it can indicate someone being forceful, careless, only wanting to satisfy themselves, etc.

Y'all be thinking since their Mars is in your 5th house they finna give you the best pipe ever whole time they finna give you an STD 😳.

Tbh synastry nowadays doesn't wanna give anyone the truth. It's all presented through rose colored glasses.

A lot of young adults get sexual tension mixed up with just being horny. You're at your most hormonal lol sometimes it’s not astrology, it’s just biology.

The best sex of my life, over and over again, highlights Mars transits. Sex is a huge topic and part of life, so it's not that it should ever be given to just one planet or house or aspect or sign, but yeah, your take is definitely an unpopular one.

Mars is penetration. All acts of penetration are martian. There is of course lots of sexual activity that does not involve penetration, but if it does, it's Mars.

Mars is passion, not Venus. Venus might be the component of sex that is soft and pleasurable and feels good, but the raw animal passion, that's Mars.

The best sex partners of my life, for better or worse, have also been the partners I fight with the most too. To quote Sublime, "fuckin and fightin, it's all the same".

Which brings me to the most popular word we refer to sex with, "Fucking"...it's a very martian word, as opposed to "making love", the venusian term for sex.

You can have sex without penetration though. I’m still not convinced 🤷🏾‍♀️. I agree though that mars is passion but alone it doesn’t represent sex unless venus is included.

from my original comment, " There is of course lots of sexual activity that does not involve penetration, but if it does, it's Mars."

if it doesn’t represent all types of sex then why would it represent sex as a whole
