He downplays Narcissistic Supply directed at other traits. The supply that the somatic narcissist so badly requires is derived from his form, his shape, his build, his profile, his beauty, his physical attractiveness, his health, his age. It is through his body that this type of narcissist tracks down and captures his Supply Sources. He cultivates it, nourishes and nurtures it, is often an hypochondriac, dedicates an inordinate amount of time to its needs (real and imaginary). The somatic narcissist directs his libido at his body (as opposed to the cerebral narcissist, who concentrates upon his intellect). In this respect, homosexual relations are highly narcissistic and autoerotic affairs. Moreover, the homosexual makes love to a person of the SAME sex - in a way, to his REFLECTION. Preoccupation with body and sex makes most homosexual narcissists SOMATIC narcissists. However, it does have an influence on the individual. This is typical of persecuted minorities. Homosexuality has been inflated to the level of a sub-culture, a separate psychology, or a myth. I know of no heterosexual who would use his sexual preferences to define himself almost fully. There is, however, one element, which might be unique to homosexuals: the fact that their self-definition hinges on their sexual identity.
Narcissists are, at times, suicidal and are always self-destructive. Getting this close to (perceived) danger is the equivalent of engaging in self-destruction (suicide). Reality does not matter, though - it is the perception of reality that matters. Whether one is physically passive or active - one is always psychosexually active.Īnyone who has unsafe sex is gambling with his life - though the odds are much smaller than public hysteria would have us believe.
To cause someone to have sex with you is a powerful stimulus - and always provokes a sensation of omnipotence. Penetration does not make one of the parties "the stronger one". The distinction between passive and active sexual partners is mechanical, false, superfluous and superficial. Making love to someone means that the consenting partner finds the narcissist (or one or more of his traits, such as his intelligence, his physique, even his money) irresistible. The act of conquering and subordinating is epitomized by the sexual encounter - an objective and atavistic interaction. The newly conquered idolise the narcissist and serve as a trophies. The very act of subduing, subjugating, or acquiring the power to influence someone provides the narcissist with Narcissistic Supply. Old sources die easy - once taken for granted, the narcissistic element of conquest vanishes.Ĭonquest is important because it proves the superiority of the narcissist. Hungry for adoration, admiration, acceptance, approval, and any other kind of attention. Narcissists look for new victims, the way tigers look for prey - they are hungry. They both are predators, devouring Narcissistic Supply Sources as they go. Research failed to find any substantive difference between the psychological make-up of a narcissist who happens to have homosexual preferences - and a heterosexual narcissist. I find it hard to believe that there are such processes, to begin with. I am a heterosexual and thus deprived of an intimate acquaintance with certain psychological processes, which allegedly are unique to homosexuals. What is the typical profile of a homosexual narcissist? Why is he always on a lookout for new victims? Is he lying or is he telling the truth when he says that he "wants to get laid" by one and all? If he is not suicidal, is he not afraid of AIDS? Answer:
