I hate talking about this man sometimes, and this is one of those times. Fighting, play fighting or actual fighting, does it for him. Pinning someone down, getting a little rough, proving he’s stronger… yeah, that’ll get him going. For Atlas, intimacy is tied up in power, so anything that makes that dynamic obvious tends to flip the primal switch in his brain.
And I hate that I feel like I have to say this, but I’m going to say it anyway: he is never taking that power of choice from someone. It’s not like every person he gets into a fight with suddenly becomes someone he wants to sleep with. But if his partner happens to enjoy being roughed up a little, he’s absolutely going to take advantage of that. And if they don’t? That’s fine too, he can always come find them afterward and work out the leftover adrenaline from whatever fight he just got into with some random third party.
Other things that get him going: begging, teasing him, or challenging him; being a little brat on purpose just to get under his skin. Sex is also one of the ways he burns off frustration, so yes, technically you can ragebait him into it. He’s also kind of a simple man in the sense that seeing someone strip/naked or hearing someone say “I need you” is already enough to get him halfway there. If he likes the person.
To the surprise of absolutely no one, he’s got a handful of kinks and they all involve him being dominant. For fun ( and to satisfy @fakedeers ), I’m going to speedrun his top ones so I don’t have to think about this man’s sex life any longer than necessary:
Sadism — shocking to no one. He likes hurting people, specifically his partner. Choking, slapping, gagging, a little emotional humiliation, yadda yadda, you get the idea. He is mean even in bed.
Overstimulation / Edging — he wants his partner begging to be allowed to come. Ideally in tears. And if they’re not crying yet? Well, he’ll keep going (or keep stopping) until they are.
Degradation — again, not surprising. He’ll call his partner things like whore, slut, bitch, worthless, he’ll be mean about it. But even while degrading them he’s still making it clear they’re his. Because in Atlas’s mind, degrading someone and claiming them at the same time makes perfect sense. You’re not just a slut, you're his slut <3
Recording — get the camera, it’s time to make a movie. He likes filming his partners and taking pictures afterward, especially if his partner looks completely wrecked. He really likes taking pictures after giving his partner a 'facial'. *But this kink is reserved strictly for long-term partners. He has no interest in doing this with a one-night stand or casual fling.*
If he’s in a polyship with another muse and Ophelia (or with two other people), he absolutely will send videos to the third person. And yes, he enjoys getting pictures or videos of them in return.
At the end of the day, Atlas wants his partner completely ruined. But he wants it to be so good that they only ever want him to be the one who does it.
