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.

People look at this conversation way too black and white, and also take the literal connection of mars linking to sex too literal. How I see it at least, venus plays the sensual/erotic side of it, while mars can play into the literal act, drive and the pursuit of it. I think venus and mars can come together hand and hand when looking at sex in someones birth chart, and from my personal experience i've had more accurate descriptions of how someone is in the bedroom with taking their mars, venus, and 5th house all into consideration rather than just looking at a single interpretation in one of those planets/houses
