Sex and the Enneagram

Eights with a Seven-wing are more likely to seek their sexual thrills away from home, in clubs, on vacation or on work trips. Action-orientated types, they’re most likely to take the initiative when it comes to sex, which may suit more submissive types, but will create fireworks with similar Advancing types (Threes and Sevens).
