Your sexual habits and preferences can say a lot about you. Whether you’re all about the thrill of the chase, you thrive in a committed relationship, or you’re into quick, no-strings-attached encounters, there’s an animal out there that reflects your behavior in the bedroom. so are you romantic? Or more of a person who eats?
Bonobo: the lover of peace
Bonobos, one of humans’ closest relatives in the animal kingdom, have a lot going for them. Their societies are matriarchal, for one thing, and they also use sex as a way to avoid conflict and strengthen social bonds. If that sounds familiar, welcome to the bonobo club. You are a lover, not a fighter, who sees sex as an important part of your relationships as well as a source of pleasure for pleasure’s sake.
Swan: the faithful companion
Swans are known for their often lifelong monogamous relationships, which symbolize loyalty and deep emotional connection. If emotional intimacy and commitment are key to your sex life, consider yourself an elegant and noble swan. Go ahead and wrap your neck around your partner.
Praying mantis: the one-and-done
If you’re all about one night stands, loving them and leaving them, hitting it off and calling it quits, you might be a praying mantis. The female praying mantis is known for her post-sex head-chomping habit. While we don’t suggest you snack on your partners, if you’re known for your perfectly honed ghosting game, it’s time to embrace your inner insect. You’re all about the intensity of the moment, but once it’s over, so are the relationships that bind.
Rabbit: the energizer lover
Rabbits have a reputation for their sexual fervor, mostly because they mate year-round. If your sex drive is high and you’re ready to go at a moment’s notice, often enjoying multiple rounds in one session, you might just be a bunny. You’ve taken your vitamins, you’re hydrated, and you’re ready to go. But there is one way you don’t want to be like a rabbit: they have SO. A LOT. BABIES. If you like the very sexy part without the other part, we recommend a form of birth control that you don’t have to bother with too much, like an IUD, an implant, or the shot.
Black widow: the dominant dare
If you want to take control, set the pace, and maybe even play with a little risk (consensual and safe, of course—again, we strongly urge you not to eat your sexual partners), then you can be a black widow You’re confident in your intentions, not afraid to express them, and you might enjoy a bit of a role reversal where you call the shots. But unlike the black widow, remember that care is key.
