Found this at the Astrology Tribe, and thought I'd post it here. Very well written, and I know it rings a lot of true for me:

Male

The Scorpio rising is strong, secretive, and driven. His greatest goal is transformation--of his mate, society, his work experiences, and most of all, himself. This man needs to feel in control at all times...it's the woman who makes him feel out of control that often steals his heart. He needs adventure in his life, especially sexually.

Once he commits to the woman of his choice, he expects it to be now and forever, but then something strange happens--the man that was laid back and entertaining, the man who scheduled secret rendezvous and sent intensely passionate love letters gets scared. Forever looms large before him and he starts tightening the reins on his loved one, ever so gently binding her to him. At the first sign of disapproval on her part, he pulls the rope tighter.

What is he scared of? He is terrified that she will leave him, that she will betray him, and worst of all, that she will find someone else to expend her passion with. How can a woman handle such intensity? She has to give him reassurance, every day. He notices all the little things and appreciates a woman who takes the time to tell him that she loves him--daily, even ten times a day wouldn't be too much. But it better be true and he will sense it immediately if his love is lying to him.

When love goes wrong for this man, he can go two different routes: he will get even, or he will sink into a depression of the worst kind. Once he throws off the shackles of the sour relationship in his mind, however, he won't look back. He will throw himself into work, a new relationship, his creativity-- something that is important to him. He will emerge transformed and that's what he is about, anyway. Sexually, he can be what some people would term as 'kinky'.

His inhibitions are few and his appetite large. He likes to watch and may ask his partner to perform for him. He may also be into bondage or higher forms of sexual expression such as the practice of tantric sex. As the Scorpio risings intuition is very sharp, sex is possibly his best form of expression.


Female

The Scorpio rising female is a mystery, to herself and to men. Sexuality is her most potent force and she attracts men in every crowd. She knows what she wants, and any man she becomes interested in will know it is he. She isn't afraid to approach a man either as a business partner or for a relationship of a more intimate nature.

This woman is a mind reader but she won't always let her partner know this...sometimes it's better to keep this knowledge to herself as a secret weapon. Passion is something a relationship with a Scorpio rising will never lack--be it as a screaming match or an all night party for two. She needs romance in the form of sensual fabrics, oils, and scents. She, like her male counterpart, expects any commitment to last forever and she will work very hard to accomplish this.

Scorpio rising can be very dominating and smothering--when she comes across in this manner it is a sure sign that she needs attention and reassurance. She will not tolerate an unfaithful partner and she will quickly make a plan of revenge, even if her plan doesn't extend beyond removing her cheating mate from her presence forever. Indeed, that is likely the worst fate, for once a man is in love with a Scorpio, he will never forget her.

Their relationship may dissolve into a love/hate type of connection and he may never see her again, but he will long remember the passionate nights they spent together in front of the fireplace, or the other nights he spent tied to the bedpost. He will be very hard pressed to find that combination of emotional faithfulness and sexual intensity again... unless he becomes involved with another Scorpio type.
