8th house and sex

[lucir]

would someone who is a friends w/ benefits type be represented by the 8th house?
or the 11th, or the 5th?

Ah, confusion!!!!

If it's a one night stand type, it would be 5th. If the relationship is important to you, then the 7th.

well it's neither or, it's more like an open relatioship based on sex no commitment...

so i'm still confused as to wether it should be 8th or 5th?

I read that 8th house has nothing to do with sex, the 5th house is related to sex ~ 5th house is everything you like and want to do with your loveone :)

Definitely the Fifth, Traditionally, that is.

You can find a long, LONG discussion on that somewhere here on the boards, by long I mean...100+ posts long.

Yes. There are definitely two schools of thought on this.The kind of sex you are referring to is obviously recreational so house 5 would be appropriate. Cheers, Lillyjgc

Yes. In that case it would be definitely the 5th house.

Here is the 8th House Test:

Does the involvement with the person feel more than sexual? Do you ever dream about the person? Do they seem familiar to you? Like a deja vu that you know them from somewhere? Has the other person had any similar experiences / perceptions of you? Have you had any clairvoyant moments with the person (telephone rings and you know it's him / her)?

And if the relationship progresses to "things held in common" - strongly held principles, ideas, values, money, property, lottery tickets, etc. well then it's 8th House Domain for sure!

My vote is for the 5th as sexuality in the 8th is more intense and dealing with procreativity.
