Are you an ``innocent''? Perhaps you're a frisky ``seeker'' or a pull-out-the-stops ``adventurer.''

Everyone, it seems, has a sexual personality.

Or so say sexologists Oona Mourier and James Herriot. They've created a list of bedroom personas in their book, ``9 Secrets to Bedroom Bliss: Exploring Sexual Archetypes to Reveal Your Lover's Passions and Discover What Turns You On (Fair Winds Press, $22.95).

Herriot, who's also a scientist, philosopher, teacher and writer according to the pair's Web site, http://www.blissinbed.com/, and Mourier insist that each person has a sex style or attitude that shapes his or her, well, performance. The two also encourage people to sample all of the various behavior models, to explore their own ``sexual smorgasbord.''

``It's such a loss for people not to have a good sexual relationship,'' says Mourier, a sex therapist who practices in Berkeley and Sepastopol. ``Why not? Why would you eat Mexican food every day when you can have such a diverse cuisine?''

Some readers may feel the authors have skipped a few nothing-to-brag-about between-the-sheets archetypes.

What about the Two-Minute Man, for instance? ``I think the two-minute man is someone who does not want to be there,'' she says. ``It's someone who does not know it's an accomplished art.''

Or how about the Refrigerator: ``That is someone who has not opened up their heart,'' Mourier says. ``People are afraid to open doors.

``Working with sexuality should be a lot of fun,'' she adds. ``It's very soulful. It's a relationship. It's the heart, the mind, the body.''

Here are Mourier and Herriot's complete list of sexual archetypes. All the quotes are from Mourier:

• The Innocent: This is a person who is trusting, playful, emotional. ``You are just discovering that the fire exists.''

• The Adventurer: Daring, curious, fearless -- these are some of the traits of this personality. It's about playing with matches. ``It's about pushing the limits, finding out what excites. It's I dare you!''

• The Sensualist: This person exhibits few inhibitions. His or her goal in life is to obtain as many orgasms as possible. ``The sensualist will seduce you because they want you in bed.''

• The Seeker: Exploring the tension between power and surrender is a turn-on for this person. A seeker wants ``to be pushed beyond the edges.'' A feminist, for example, might struggle with the desire to be spanked.

• The Revealer: Sex to this person is as much an exploration of the mind as it is of the body. An intellectual cat-and-mouse game excites the body and ``amplifies the erotic tension.''

• The Magician: This is the person who teaches and is ``free of goals.'' A magician is ``there to be of service.''

• The Mystic: Sex occurs on a spiritual plane for the mystic. ``The purpose of sex is about having a mystical experience. It's moving energy from your genitals to the heart.''

• The Nurturer: This person does not seduce, does not flirt. Rather, she or he draws lovers in with home fires. It's a cozy, familiar, caring, sweet, gentle kind of love. The nurturer weaves a relationship safety net. ``It's being-comfortable-in-your-pajamas sex.''

• The Artist: This is a person who experiences a fluid sexuality. He or she embodies parts of most or all of the other archetypes.

The authors want their book to be a starting point for people, especially those who don't feel satisfied with their own -- or their partner's -- bedroom behavior.

Sex, Mourier says, ``Is a dance that takes two people.''

``If someone is an awful lover, you can show them, entice them,'' she says. ``Think of sexuality as a journey. You can bring anyone on a journey.''
