Erotic Archetypes: Why You Show Up the Same Way in Sex (Even with Different Partners)
Have you ever noticed that you tend to show up the same way in sex — even with different partners?
Maybe you’re always the giver.
Or the one who leads.
Or the one who adapts, mirrors, or receives.
In this episode, we stay on the erotic side of desire — not what turns you on, but how you express yourself once you’re there. I introduce what I call the Erotic Archetypes, a framework that helps make sense of the recurring patterns many of us fall into during intimacy.
These archetypes aren’t diagnoses or rigid boxes. They’re familiar grooves — tendencies that show up when we’re relaxed, turned on, emotionally open, or trying to stay safe.
We explore:
- Why erotic patterns repeat across relationships
- The difference between awareness and labeling
- The six Erotic Archetypes: Giver, Driver, Explorer, Harmonizer, Taker, and Shapeshifter
- How each archetype expresses desire — and where its shadows show up
- Why receiving, leading, adapting, or giving can feel natural and complicated
- How awareness turns confusion into choice
I share personal reflections — especially around the Taker archetype — and talk honestly about shame, control, vulnerability, and why wanting can feel risky.
This episode isn’t about fixing your sexuality.
It’s about understanding it.
Because when you know your patterns, you stop fighting yourself — and start creating more intentionally.
