Courting The SJ tends to express affection in standard ways, verbalizing expressions of love in ritualistic language, and bringing gifts on appropriate occasions. These gifts have usually intrinsic value as objects and are to be kept and treasured. The notion of discussing philosophy, religion, aesthetics, or ethics as a precursor to erotic activities does not make much sense to either the SJ male or female.
Sex is sex and philosophy is philosophy.
For an SJ, courting is something one does before vows are taken. Once the bargain is sealed, they are prepared to give priority of getting ahead in business, establishing a home and family, making a circle of friends and establishing social connections. Sexual routines are apt to be established early in marriage and observed throughout life. A male SJ may, perhaps, explore other relationships outside the framework of his marriage, but only if particularly dissatisfied at home. Sex is a more serious business.
