Leo Man
Title: “The Natural”
For simplicity's sake, I will use the pronouns “he/him” for the male versions of the signs and “she/her” for the female versions of the signs. This is not to say that the people who identify with the male or female versions of each sign identify with those pronouns. This post is focusing on the different sexes (male vs female) not gender. Gender is fluid and I am in no way labeling people with these posts. Also, these posts are focusing solely on the Sun signs of each zodiac, other birth chart placements may cause someone to not fit into everything I have described.
Masterlist
Mind (how they think):
The Leo man is the quintessential golden boy.
He has great charisma and an innate sense of ease and entitlement.
He tends to be a real know it all. This is because he has a hard time seeing the world from any other perspective than his own.
He believes that he is the main character in everyone’s lives. So, he tends to steal the center of attention in any conversation he is in.
Like the Lion that rules his sign, injury makes him dangerous. He will usually either sulk, seeking to make the people around him as miserable as he feels, or he will succumb to one of his infamous temper tantrums.
He has a god complex in the way that he believes he has the utmost authority over everyone he encounters. He believes he is better than everyone who crosses his path.
More than any other man, he believes that his way of thinking is the ‘right’ way.
He has little respect for any authority other than his own. With the expectation of his father, who he tends to worship.
He despises formal settings and attire. This is because he needs to feel relaxed and comfortable at all times.
He isn’t interested in pleasing or impressing anyone. In his eyes, you either take him as he is or don’t take him at all.
Leo is ruled by the 5th house, which is the house of fun and games and sport and amusement. So, Leo men are usually predisposed to natural athleticism. Though, he is typically not infused with the team spirit that often comes along with sports.
He can sometimes be addicted to gaming and gambling because of that 5th house influence over him.
He is the zodiac’s ultimate father figure. This is because he never fails to be perceived as a leader, at home or in his career.
He is frequently depended on by almost everyone in his life. This image of being the one that people can depend on is an image he has carried with since childhood and is one he can have the most trouble escaping.
He tends to be pretty physically strong from a young age. This could also be mirrored in his intellectual capability.
He is clever, witty, talented, and has a strong moral fortitude.
More than most, when he fails to meet his goals, he feels guilty and disappointed in himself.
He is often set apart from the other members of his family, which causes a psychological rift to build between him and his family.
He will typically experience an intense sense of blame for outshining his siblings.
Because of this rift, he will often downplay his achievements to his family in particular. This is pretty ironic because he loves the attention he mom gives him for his accomplishments. Which then makes him believe he is a rising star in his family.
No matter how hard he tries, he will never get the same positive feedback from his father that his mother gives him.
He respects his father and holds him in such high regard, but his dad never returns those views.
His dad will frequently chastise him for “trying too hard” and so, in turn, the Leo man stops trying.
Since it is his dad’s opinion that mattered the most to him when he was a kid, he will frequently avoid his feelings of guilt when failing to fulfill his goals. Because of this, he adopts a no-effort attitude towards life, only finding success when it comes to him easily and naturally.
He goes through his life feeling wholly confident, this is an easy stance for him because he never takes risks, emotionally and otherwise.
In all of his interactions with others he’ll make little or no effort to establish a personal connection, only securing friendships that, like everything else, develop with zero strain.
He hates people who he thinks “try too hard” because in his eyes he is the guy who “has it all” and has no respect for people who wear their insecurities and hearts on their sleeves.
Whenever someone he doesn’t know shows sincere interest in him, he will tend to lie to people about his accomplishments in life, or just any detail of his life. In his eyes, he's just “pranking” them or “fibbing” and it’s no big deal. This is because he believes that these people are not worthy of his time and effort to be open and honest, especially if he expects to never see them again.
It is cliché, but the men of this sign are truly the center of attention.
Most people feel that just being in his presence makes them feel better about themselves. This is because his confidence is complete, and it inspires others to stop second-guessing themselves.
To his loved ones, the Leo man is their emotional bodyguard. He will stand up for the people he cares for. He would kick anyone's ass who he deems looked at you sideways if he truly cares for you. It’s just that he really tends to have a very small group of people he really cares for, and it is almost impossible for you to get into that small group.
Body + Soul (what they look like inside and out):
As the personification of a masculine-fixed-fire status, by the time he is an adult he already considers himself a star, regardless of profession, and as such, he doesn’t need proof in the form of universal attention on any kind of grand scale.
He knows people are drawn to him. So, he simply just selects those he deems worthy to enter his personal private sphere.
As much as he tries, the attention seems to always find him wherever he goes.
He seems so laid back and candid when you look at him, this is why people tend to gravitate towards him. It’s almost like his physique is calling you to him.
Many may mistake his openness as him having an outgoing personality, when in reality he is actually quite the introvert. This doesn’t mean that he is shy, it’s just that most people don't have anything but the vaguest of interest for him, so, he doesn’t try to get to know them.
When it comes to friendships, he is notorious for having few to none, and save for the one queen or king this manically monogamous man is forever expecting to meet, he makes no room in his life for close relationships.
He does not mind being single. In fact, he is delighted to go about his daily routine solo.
To 99 percent of the population, he will remain an untouchable, unattainable entity.
He is usually fairer skinned than other members of his family, slightly more blotchy and flushed than the rest of his family.
He may have slightly blonde or red hair, regardless of his ethnicity.
He typically has a Lion’s mane of some sort. Typically sporting thickly tousled locks, coarse or straw like in texture, with a very low hairline.
His face is often weathered; and even from a young age, his face is crinkled with what appears to be laugh lines on his cheeks, temples, and even his bushy brow.
He typically has very dry and sensitive skin, that sunburn and freckles very easily. He needs to be careful and protect himself against moles and small skin cancers caused by the harmful rays of his ruler Sun.
It is very hard to get him to even crack a smile, which is why the wrinkles and lines on his face are most definitely not laugh lines.
He is reluctant to express pleasure with even the most restricted grins. He feels these shows of favor are not easily won, so he will never hand them out easily.
He is naturally fit. Which may make him somewhat of a fatphobe, either to other people or to himself.
Cotton and wool are typically the mainstays of his wardrobe. Anything “peppy” is what he goes for.
He likes to show off his torso, so he may oftentimes wear v-necks or have his shirts unbuttoned.
He likes to look put together wherever he goes but, he typically won’t iron his clothes, he likes a more clean but crumpled look.
He is born with the pectoral muscles that most men spend their whole lives trying to get at the gym. This is why he tends to show off his chest, because it is typically well-defined.
He normally has a flat middle that is nearly impossible to chisel into a six-pack.
He is big-boned with more thick skin rather than fat.
His body is typically evenly proportioned, right down to his big hands and feet.
His “package” is similarly designed. Typically, not overly hung, but perhaps considerably thick.
He has some wild body hair, symmetrically situated and often blondish in hue, rarely, if ever, will he be extremely hairy.
In the pubic area, his hair will be sparse, wiry rather than dense, and often trailing into his butt and inner thigh region.
However, those areas of his body are rarely seen. He does not like people to see his body, so, even on the hottest of hot days, he will be wearing full-length trousers and a button down shirt.
He is easily the most modest, least promiscuous and the most pickiest of all the zodiacal men.
Sex + Sexuality (what they are like in bed and what they look for in a mate):
Leo Man Interested in Women:
When it comes to sex, nobody can hold out on “getting some” like the Leo man.
He is vigilant in his determination to “do without” until someone worthy enough comes along.
Sex for him is an empty experience if his heart isn’t in it.
He trusts his heart over his mind, and will never settle for second best.
More Leos will marry their high school sweetheart than any other zodiacal male because once he feels he finds the one he is committed.
However, if he does not end up with his high school sweetheart then you end up having a whole different type of Leo man, who is willing to work through a string of women, holding an ongoing contest for his permanent affections, putting each woman he links up with through a trial by fire, gauging her emotional capacities.
The Leo man hopes to appeal to a woman who’ll buy into his presumption of superiority, sharing in and, thus, imbuing herself with that same dominance and authority.
The Leo man will always live in the spotlight no matter how small that spotlight may be; and he, consciously or not, hopes that his “place in the sun” will lure potential lovers to him.
He wants a woman who is strong, autonomous yet fiercely loyal, and a haughty diva in public but a valuable little girl in private. Not that he wants to overpower her, but rather, he wants to please, protect, and come to her emotional rescue.
Often without even knowing it himself, he is drawn to women who lack a father's love in their life. Women who have a toughened exterior that is hiding an ultra tender, aching heart.
He will purposefully run hot and cold, testing a woman's emotional stamina.
He also has a tendency to toy with women's affections, while he has no interest in them and has no intention of investing emotionally in them.
He gets a thrill out of stringing girls along.
He is ultimately searching for his regal counterpart, he will even get bored with women who continuously make themselves ‘too’ available to him.
The Leo man looks for a woman who is deserving of him, and oftentimes it is the one who demands to be deserved by him.
He wants a woman who will deliver him an ultimatum. One that says that he can go around with all those other women, but he has to treat her like gold, or she’s gone. That is when he will finally settle down because she is the woman he has been waiting for his whole life.
He has been waiting to find the woman who has the courage to demand he be her champion and protector, considering herself worthy of the royal treatment he will offer.
Relationships are all or nothing for him. He spends most of his early life holding back, both emotionally and sexually, until he finds a love worthy of pouring himself into.
Because of this, he has a hard time letting go when he is broken up with.
He feels the need to be a father figure to women.
He isn’t looking to be adored, but rather to find himself a lover worthy to adore.
He is typically drawn to the dark woman who exudes a sultry sensuality encased within a sturdy, full-figured woman.
As I mentioned above, he can oftentimes be a fatphobe, however he still holds the curvy, hourglass, woman in the highest esteem.
He gravitates towards vivacious women who seem full of good health and vigor, perhaps by way of athletic capabilities.
Despite the fact that he ends up with a woman who demands royal treatment, he still expects her to understand that he is above her in the relationship. He is the king and she is his queen.
He is the most monogamous of most males; and he believes that even looking at other women is almost as bad as touching them.
He prides himself on loyalty, and when in an unhappy marriage he would rather grin and bear it than admit defeat. Still, even then he would never stray. He’s not one to seek sex. But he will let love find him. If his heart begins to swell for another woman, he will pack up and leave for her. And when he goes, he is gone. This is because as deeply as he loved, the loss is more profound than any love he ever felt for that person.
He has the hardest time recovering from lost love, especially when he didn’t see it coming. He will be crippled at being cast aside, that the sulking could last for years.
When it comes time to consummate the relationship, in his mind, this is a ceremonious affair.
The actual act of sex is a big deal for the Leo man, and it is a turn-off if his lover doesn’t share this heightened, somewhat dramatic perspective.
If he even gets the slightest whiff that his lover is “too seasoned” in the bedroom, he will leave her in the dust.
He is one of the most sexist of all the other men in the zodiac.
He is very vanilla. Sex to him should never be too sleazy, which is why he is rarely one to try new things.
Most often, it is the woman who must take on the driver's seat when it comes to initiating sex with this guy.
If he is feeling a bit freaky, it is most regularly a dominance role-play he will embark in. Obviously it will be his partner who is submissive because he still feels superior even in the bedroom.
However, in most cases, the Leo man does not have a kinky bone in his body.
Sex always has to be taken slow with him. And every sexual encounter should feel like the first time, or at least a special occasion.
He is not really a giver in the bedroom, however he would love to receive.
He expects sex as an everyday thing in his relationship and if the schedules don’t permit it, then he will find a day to devote to sex. Making it an all day event to make up for the lost time.
Playing with his balls, especially by running your fingernails across them, during intercourse will have him in the palm of your hand.
Other erogenous zones for him are his chest, his back, his scalp, and his neck.
Sex is something he would never boast about outside his home. Where, even there, it is something he avoids in conversation.
Leo Man Interested in Men:
The gay Leo man is typically straight passing. Because when he is young, he is slightly afraid to own his sexuality and be proud of it. So he tends to want to appear straight so no one questions him.
However, as he matures, he is more out and proud than most of his gay friends; pride itself is a more prominent virtue for the gay Leo man than it will ever be for the straight one.
Looking ‘straight’ also serves another purpose for him; it attracts female friends, who usually make up the greater part of his adoring fan base.
Regardless of sexual orientation, the Leo man needs to know he appeals to a pride of women.
Most of his male friends are straight, and, they too, are subject to his dominion, being typically wimpier in the presence of the Leo man.
He will put his straight friends' dates through the same sort of trials by fire the straight Leo man puts his prospective mates does.
His friends are forbidden to express any opinion about his choice of lover, though it will be very tempting for his friend circle to do so.
He tends to seek out the streety, even tricky types whose character might be, if not suspect, then at least wholly out of sync with his own.
While the straight Leo wants a ready-made queen, the gay Leo seems to enjoy slumming it in search of some “lost” male orphan whom he can adopt and have benefit from his natural fatherly energy.
He typically goes for younger guys, however, he can sometimes go for guys his own age too.
Once he settles down, it is usually with a guy from a similar background as his own. If not someone who is from the same town, school, or socioeconomic sphere. Though this guy will be decidedly less sunny than him.
He will typically find himself in the black cat and golden retriever type of relationship. Where he is the golden retriever.
He wants to shower so much affection on his partner that it has a healing and stabilizing effect.
He is seeking to be the most successful good-looking, masculine gay couple of all time.
He may attract a partner who is willing to bask in the glory of being around the Leo man and not want to put in any work, only reaping the rewards that the Leo man worked so hard to achieve.
However, the Leo man expects his partner to at least pretend to have some sort of ambition. So, if his partner doesn’t he will leave them in a heartbeat.
He is the most jealous man with, hands down, the hottest temper of any man in the zodiac, and he takes cheating as a crime against nature, God, and along such lines, himself.
That goes for the straight Leo man as well.
The only way the Leo man would entertain the thought of another in the bedroom is if that third party wanted nothing more than to watch. He loves to show off how good he is.
Deep kissing and body contact typically top the list of his favorite things. Along with massage and mutual masturbation.
He will let his lover “blow” him, but he is uncomfortable in the service position.
He wants to be adored in the bedroom so, his partner should be the one to worship his body, not the other way around.
He places great emphasis on love as opposed to sex, and if his heart isn’t in it, then he will not do it.
