S
You are secretive, self-contained, and shy. You are very sexy, sensual, and passionate, but you do not let on to this. Only in intimate privacy will this part of your nature reveal itself. When it gets down to the nitty gritty, you are an expert. You know all the little tricks of the trade, can play any role or any game, and take your love life very seriously. You don*t fool around. You have the patience to wait for the right person to come along.

secretive? yes, i'll agree with that. 🥷 shy? at one point i was...

and the rest, well, who am i to argue? 😖hifty:
