Archetype · In Bed

The Playful

Goofball-in-bed mode

Laughing · Teasing · Light

You laugh mid-thing and you're not sorry. We both know it.

What this archetype looks like

You bring play into intimacy. Laughing, joking and keeping things light do not kill the mood for you; they help you relax into it. The good part is that this can keep a relationship warm and easy, even during stressful seasons. The hard part is that some partners think desire has to look serious to be real. You may need to explain that joy is not a lack of desire. For you, it is one of the ways desire stays alive.
