Description
In an insightful and humorous way, this workshop will help counselors assist their clients and
themselves in increasing their sexual intimacy by understanding and honoring their own unique
personality style as a lover. The MBTI preferences, with 16 profiles, and the Enneagram 9 types
will be explored for their turn-ons and turn-offs in lovemaking. Personality types can impact
many aspects of a great sex life: communication and initiation, times and places with variety or
traditions, the personal meaning of lovemaking, and how to get needs met. A playful ENFP will
be a very different sexual partner than a practical ISTJ. Learning to please a romantic 4 or an
enthusiastic 7 can frustrate a structured 1 or pessimistic 6. With so many personality
differences, you will find there are many ways to love your lover.
