Sex & Relationships
Because some members of the zodiac are more direct than others.
When your partner turns down sex, its easy to immediately start overthinking things.
Like, what does it really mean when they say theyre not in the mood?
Are they just tired?
Did something happen at work?
If not, is it you?
Are they no longer attracted to you anymore?
There are so manydifferent reasonsfor why your partner might not want sex.
With that said,communication is paramountin a healthy relationship.
Asking your partner why they turned down sex is always a good idea.
So heres what it means when your partner doesnt want to get intimate, according to their zodiac sign.
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
By nature,rams are honest and direct.
However, if theyre consistently turning you down, its worth paying attention to.
Theyd do so to force the other person to act and either change things up or leave altogether.
An underlying feeling of vulnerability, that their sense of self is threatened, may cause this defense.
If theyre refusing sex, their priorities may be concentrated on work.
In other cases, Taurus may use a lack of sex as punishment if their partner makes them angry.
They might refuse sex to get their partner to do what they want like quit a bad habit.
Sometimes what they show the world isnt a perfect reflection of whats going on inside their head.
If theyre refusing sex, they may be obsessing over something they dont want to tell you about.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Cancers are highly sensitiveWater signs whose moods change all the time.
Even a harmless joke can deeply offend them.
So if theyre not interested in getting intimate, you may have done something that bothered them.
According to Garbis, Cancer signs will also reject sex if they dont feel emotionally safe in the relationship.
This might happen if you just started dating, and youre still in the getting-to-know-you stage.
If Leo is not interested in sex, they may be a crisis of confidence.
They may be feeling insecure about themselves and are shutting down out of intense shame, Garbis says.
Leo has an inflated ego, but when they are feeling insecure its like a tidal wave of depression.
This checking out could be a call for attention and compliments.
If they arent interested in sex, theres a chance they may not be feeling well.
If theyre turning down sex, Garbis says, they may be projecting their fears onto their partner.
They might also refuse sex if theyre feeling disengaged from the relationship and are ready to look elsewhere.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Scorpios are known for beingvery mysteriousbecause they keep things to themselves.
According to Garbis, there are a million different reasons why a Scorpio would turn their partner down.
In some cases, they may do it as a way to play mind games.
Scorpios like being in control, and refusing sex is one way they can gain the upper hand.
On the other hand, they might be repressing the strong feelings that come with sex.
There is an intensity to the act thats overwhelming them so they avoid it, says Garbis.
They may deny themselves pleasure for fear it will take over and disrupt their life.
Because of that, refusing sex could be a sign that there are problems in the relationship.
Theres nothing left for them and they may be longing to escape, she says.
For them, sex is something they do to unwind.
According to Garbis, another big reason for why theyd turn their partner down is resentment.
It could be that theyre waiting for the right time, right place, or right person.
If theyre feeling uncomfortable about getting physically intimate, it may be because they fear an emotional connection.
According to Garbis, Pisces tend to be apprehensive about making moves in a partnership for fear of change.
Refusing sex may be their way of gaining some control in the relationship.
This might happen especially if they feel like their partner is pulling away.
Pisces is also a highly sensitive Water sign who gets their feelings hurt easily.
If their partner says something they dont like, Pisces may shut down.
