Scorpio: Mysterious, deep, intense, sexy and brooding. Intimidating? A little. Intriguing? A lot. So how do you keep this particular astrological specimen from getting bored, complacent and blah about you and your relationship? More to the point, how can you contribute to the health, vitality and sustainability of your relationship with a Scorpio man?

Relationship games may entertain a Scorpio man for a little while, but they aren’t the core of what keeps a Scorpio man “on the hunt” with you. So while you may find that making him jealous and trying new sexual positions seems to elicit some kind of response from him, the response you are likely to get is probably not what you you’re going to want over the long term.

Because Scorpios are creatures of many layers — and as brutally honest with themselves as they are with you — they value depth and emotional power above anything else. Showing a Scorpio your deepest truths and most authentic self signals to them that you are someone of interest. Emotional courage, strength and complexity is endlessly intriguing to a Scorpio. Because the very nature of a complete emotional experience is change and transformation, when you are in an empowered place around your emotions, Scorpio is instantly alert and aware, “on his toes” so to speak. They love the mystery of these quickly changing emotional forces and deep psychic transformations.

Yes, they actually are turned on by displays of strong feeling, yet even more than that alone, they are impressed and intrigued by strong emotions handled with power, confidence and courage. Essentially, authenticity is what keeps a Scorpio coming back. Like a laser beam, Scorpio can instantly and easily see through any falseness and superficiality. Trying to fake the display of false emotion or sharing manufactured traumas in an attempt to impress them will only breed their contempt. Scorpios are tough customers in love, and they don’t like any kind of BS. They might seem to be entertained by your antics and momentarily distracted, but a real Scorpio is going to eventually want more.

Ultimately, the more you know yourself and feel comfortable in feeling and expressing who you are honestly and with passion, the more you will keep a Scorpio’s interest alive. Of course, where a Scorpio is involved, the benefits of infusing a regular diet of kinky sex into your relationship cannot be overemphasized. Keep it frequent and keep it interesting, and you will keep them on their toes.
