To minimize risk of exposure to and spread of the COVID-19 virus and COVID-19 variants, I am continuing to suspend in-person hypnotherapy sessions with me in my office. Meanwhile, phone, and Zoom consultations ARE and WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE!

The cornerstone of Hypnosis Motivation Institute founder John Kappas, Ph.D.’s hypnotherapy practice was the concept of Emotional and Physical Sexuality. In my blog titled, All About Emotional and Physical Sexuality, Part 1, I described the characteristics of these personalities and the importance of knowing a client’s sexual personality as a way to understand, predict and even mold his or her behavior. In today’s blog I will further describe the priorities and goals of each personality in the context of a romantic (sexual) relationship. Please keep in mind that, like suggestibility, there are varying degrees of the Emotional and Physical Sexuality traits; no one is 100 percent “Emotional” or 100 percent “Physical” in terms of the degree to which dominant sexual-personality traits is manifested.
E&P PRIORITIES
EMOTIONAL |
PHYSICAL |
Career/$ Security (If financial security
doesn’t exist, everything else falls by the wayside.) |
Relationship/Sex (Relationship and Sex are
interchangeable for the Physical. Sex is how the Physical expresses love) |
Hobbies/Kids (Emotional male has no
friends or work acquaintance, etc. or 1 Physical male friend considers;
Emotional female partner as friend. Emotional female has other Emotional
female friends. “Kids” are a hobby for an ethnic
Emotional) |
Children/Family |
Relationship/Family (Home base) |
Hobbies/ Friends (Physical Female has
Physical male friends, often ex-partners, lack of competition; a Physical
male will have Physical male friends.) |
Sex |
Career/$ Security |
Emotional Sexual vs. Physical Sexual
Personality
- Emotionals don’t like to confront the partner. Physicals have no problem asking for or “demanding” what they want and need in the relationship.
- Guilt controls the Emotional partner. The Physical partner feels actual, physical pain during a break-up, but when the relationship is over an Emotional “seems” to move on to a new relationship. (A bad break-up can take the Physical out of the dating game for a very long time in some cases, or subconsciously “chooses” another Physical partner because the previous experience with the Emotional lover/end of relationship was so traumatic.)
- Sex and the relationship are two different/separate things for the Emotional partner. The Emo can compartmentalize: “It’s ‘just’ sex” with a mistress.
- Sex and the relationship are the one and the same for the Physical partner. A Physical Sexual individual can’t imagine being sexually intimate without “feeling” an emotional connection with the other person.
- BOTH Emotional Sexual and Physical Sexual partner wants control in the relationship but go about different ways to get it. (E.g., Physical partner shouts/pouts/makes demands for more attention; the Emotional Partner freezes out/ignores the Physical partner, which makes the Physical partner shout/make demands until one of them walks away from the relationship or reconciles the difference.
If you are interested
in finding out what whether you are an Emotional or Physical Sexual
personality, check out the relationship quiz.
It is can be hard to be objective about your own behavior when answering these
questions, so I suggest that you take the quiz for (about) your spouse/partner
and have the other person do the same for you. Once you know and understand Dr.
Kappas’s E&P Sexual Personality model, a whole new world will open up for
you in terms of recognizing, predicting and even helping to shape your own
behavior and that of other people with whom you share a significant personal
relationship.
