🤤Lust for Sex in Human Design

As you can see in the graphic below, the emotional center or solar plexus is the pleasure center in your Human Design chart.

This means that all emotionally defined people or all people with emotional authority - about 47% of all people, or almost every second person - wants sex if it wasn't for the emotional wave.

According to Human Design, desire depends not only on a defined or undefined solar plexus, but also on where a person is currently in their emotional wave.

As a reminder, here are the three waves, which also correspond to the currents of sexuality. [Channel 59/6 has a special role and will not be described in detail here, but here you can find more information on the role gates 59 and 6.]

The tribal wave is the weakest. Many people with a defined solar plexus say they barely feel it or don't feel it at all. In this circuit, touch and skin contact are very important. These people often communicate more with their hands than with their voice.

The Individual Wave, in contrast, is the one with extremely high highs and very low lows.

The Collective Wave involves a slow rise and a sudden deep fall, and often also the associated (sexual) crisis (Gate 36).

Just as with the gates of availability for sex in the sacral center, the solar plexus gates can be seen as filters or desire triggers. If the other person is aware of these desire triggers and, ideally, responds to them, then the likelihood of becoming aroused is much higher than if the other person just starts randomly or goes through their standard foreplay routine. For people with gates 37 and 49, skin-to-skin contact is very important, meaning touching, caressing, massaging, and also the feeling of belonging. Whereas, for example, people with gate 30 do not only want to feel the desire and have the prospect of experiencing something new or "hot," but they also want to put it into action. People with activations in the individual circuit can be "talked into bed," meaning that for these usually very romantic people, the right music and atmosphere play a major role in their desire for sex.

But what does that mean for people who don't have a defined solar plexus? Do they never feel like having sex? Yes and no. The planetary weather ensures that everyone has a defined pleasure center at certain times😜. Or maybe just one partner has a defined solar plexus, and in that case, the partner with the open solar plexus increases their partner's desire. Or certain channels are formed with their partner. So it can happen that two people who otherwise only have dormant gates in their solar plexus suddenly form not just a channel but, for example, an entire stream of sexuality through their partners. This means that two people might have little desire for sex on their own, but as soon as they meet, the other person becomes irresistible and their desire is ignited.

For the sake of completeness, I would like to briefly discuss the special role of Gate 6. People with activated Gate 6 are very sensitive to whom they should enter into a (sexual) relationship with, or with whom it is "healthy" for them to have sex. Gate 6 corresponds to the pH level in our body, and if sex with a particular partner repeatedly leads to a pH disturbance and possibly resulting mycosis or vaginosis, then this could be due - apart from external causes (diet, hygiene, etc.) - to the fact that this partner is simply not "healthy" for you.

If you're now curious about how your gates affect you and your partner, I'd be happy to tell you more about it in a coaching session.
