Aestus Definition
(I stumbled onto the word ‘Aestus’ and decided to use it. I believe it was part of a series where I took various emotions and personified them. First one was a ‘Fear’ poem I made in high school with the same style.)
The drive to spawn begins with me.
I am erotic.
*
Artists and murderers use me for their deeds.
I am forceful.
*
Good men twist beneath my touch.
I am overpowering.
*
Women call on me to give them power.
I am seductive.
*
This world would be so dull without me.
I AM PASSION.
Legends of Windemere 
I pictured a forceful, confident man as well.

Never considered the confident point. I always see passion as a double-edged sword. Useful, but dangerous without moderation.

I think confidence is a must. I wouldn’t have the guts to assume people would want me, like you’ve described.
