The Emperor is indisputably associated with the energy of Mars. Mars rules leadership, innovation, action, masculine energy, and SEXUALITY. He is NOT asexual. The Emperor has mastered responsible expression of all The Court King energies. Mastery DOES NOT equate to non-existence. It equates to admirable control and mature/respectable application. Meaning, when he does apply it, it is with considerable power (whether it is leading an empire or expressing his sexuality).
Also, I obviously do not believe he could ever represent anything "raunchy" (hence the examples in my original post). He is mature. I was merely explaining why vulnerability was not necessary for sexual feelings to exist. One's sexual feelings could easily be that of enjoying the sexual power you have over another, the ability to pleasure them to the point of THEIR vulnerability.
Tarot itself assigns very distinct masculine or feminine energies to most (if not all) the cards and certainly any card with a principal human representative.
This is for a reason. Sexuality as creation is actually embded deeply into the symbolism of Tarot (phallic and womb references throughout). The Emperor is only asexual in YOUR world. Not to worry though... carry on with your delusion.
The title of your post is "Emperor as Sexual Feeling....", hence, I speak of the Emperor as a personality without sexual feeling. So, you can apply his asexual feelings to any card in the deck and it will come to the same conclusion because the Emperor is a symbol of power and control, not sex and desire, whether "raunchy" or not. That is just the way I see it as I prefer not to imbue the card with extraneous attributes. On the other hand, you are entitled to see the card any way you choose or use it to play any game you wish. I'm just not a player because I take the tarot to be a serious divination tool. Not to worry though.....carry on with your fun.
