Narcissist and Sex Addiction

This is very common among Narcissist. Deviant sexual behavior as a means to inflate the ego is like a drug to them. I can not count the number of times my xN would tell me that he is a "people watcher". Little did i understand what that really meant. With every quest they set out to conquer it gets more and more deviant in time. The lengths they will go to are unimaginable to us. Craigslist, Sex sites, Massage parlors, Escort services and Hook up Bars are common place for them.

The problem is that because of the secrecy involved with this addiction, many times they will fly under the radar without getting caught, therefore they dont have to face a consequence for their behavior. To them it is not wrong. To them it is only sex with no emotional attachment. To them it is perfectly acceptable as long as they are discrete.

Narcissist have overlapping addictions that coincide with their NPD. Frequently you will find that there has been drugs and alcohol abuse issues that even went undetected. Remember that they are MASTERS OF DISGUISE. Not only did they fool us but everyone involved in their circle.
_____________________________________________________________

Sexual narcissism has been described as an egocentric pattern of sexual behavior that involves both low self-esteem and an inflated sense of sexual ability and sexual entitlement.

In addition, sexual narcissism is the erotic preoccupation with oneself as a superb lover through a desire to merge sexually with 'a mirror image of oneself.' (usually through controlling and brainwashing a target)

Sexual narcissism, coined by David Farley Hurlbert,[22] is an intimacy dysfunction in which sexual exploits are pursued, generally in the form of extramarital affairs, to overcompensate for low self-esteem and an inability to experience true intimacy. This behavioral pattern is believed to be more common in men than in women and has been tied to domestic violence in men[23] and sexual coercion in couples.[24] Hurlbert and his colleagues assert that any sex addiction is nothing more than a misnomer for what is actually sexual narcissism or sexual compulsivity.[25] - Wikipedia

SEX ADDICTION

* Obsession over sex to the point where it intrudes your daily routine or hinders your ability to maintain your job and relationships

* Practicing unprotected anonymous or casual sex on an ongoing basis

* Going into and remaining in debt for the purpose of obtaining sex with prostitutes. This may also include subscriptions to pornographic Web portals or "sex chats"

* Looking for sex in public places, including public bathrooms

* "Cruising" in public but calling it "people watching"

* Having sex in dangerous places

* Excessive and compulsive masturbation (3-25 times per day or week)

* A dependence on sexually explicit material in order to become aroused and/or to reach orgasm

* Persistent pursuit of self-destructive behavior. A common rationalization is, "I'll deal with the consequences when I experience them."

* Ongoing endeavor to set barriers to sexual behavior such as moving to a new neighborhood, getting married or even starving themselves sexually, which only fuels the addiction

* The addict experiences intense mood shifts

* Tremendous energy is spent on obtaining sex, being sexual and then recovering from the consequences

* Neglect of important social, occupational or recreational activities

* Having numerous XXX videos and magazines at home

* Exhibitionist activities, including exposing oneself in a car

* Constant preoccupation with sexual fantasies which interferes with daily routine

Sex addiction symptoms will vary for each individual and often develop in different stages over a period of time.1 Sex addicts tend to be controlling and lack any real intimacy in their relationships.

PORN ADDICTION:
FIRST STEP - ADDICTION "The first change that happened was an addiction-effect. The porn-consumers got hooked. Once involved in pornographic materials, they kept coming back for more and still more... The pornography provided very exciting and powerful imagery which they frequently recalled to mind and elaborated on in their fantasies."

SECOND STEP - ESCALATION
"The second phase was an escalation-effect. With the passage of time, the addicted person required rougher, more explicit, more deviant... sexual material to get their "highs" and "sexual turn-ons." It was reminiscent of individuals afflicted with drug addictions. Over time there is nearly always an increasing need for more of the stimulant to get the same initial effect."

THIRD PHASE - DESENSITIZATION
"The third phase was desensitization. Material (in books, magazines, or films/videos) which was originally perceived as shocking, taboo-breaking, illegal, repulsive, or immoral, in time came to be seen as acceptable and commonplace. The sexual activity depicted in the pornography (no matter how anti-social or deviant) became legitimized. There was an increasing sense that "everybody does it" and this gave them permission to also do it, even though the activity was possibly illegal and contrary to their previous moral beliefs and personal standards."

FOURTH PHASE - ACTING OUT SEXUALLY
"The fourth phase was an increasing tendency to act out sexually the behaviors viewed in the pornography, including compulsive promiscuity, exhibitionism, group sex, voyeurism, frequenting massage parlors, rape, and inflicting pain on themselves or a partner during sex.

This behavior frequently grew into a sexual addiction which they found themselves locked into and unable to change or reverse no matter what the negative consequences were in their life."

*looking to meet someone for

*looking to meet someone for "ME" = Self centered *Erotic sex, group sex, 3 somes = sexual deviant behavior *looking for that "Special one" = One that makes HIM look "Special" *great guy but not your typical = demanding and controlling *break up due to insecurity and jealousy = Ego maniac *made me loose hope for the future = poor me pity party *After I explained what i wanted = Lies *looking for a bisexual woman = easily bored, not interested in a normal healthy relationship. *Looking for a submissive woman that likes to be owned = control, power,manipulation There it is broken down. Tell me after looking at this and reading the characteristics of a Narc, do I dare question "Is he or Is he Not?" Its pretty evident.

Sex addiction

Mine had a large porn collection and sex toys. He insisted on buying me a vibrator (I'd never owned one before - never felt the need for one - was always quite happy with my sex life the way it was). He had a past full of very wild and experimental group sex, sex parties etc. He told me he had "really struggled" in the past between fighting his urges to be with sexual predator, slutty, libertine-type women, and "nice", girlfriend-type women. I just put all this down to his being English (Irish men are much less inclined to be involved in anything like that, never mind admitting to it so openly - it's really quite a different culture sexually I think - still kind of old-fashioned here. Not that we're prudes or anything, but just a bit more innocent than in English culture). However I don't think he was a sex addict because he ended up sexually ignoring me completely for the last 5 weeks of our relationship. And I really don't think he was cheating on me.

The last time i had sex with

The last time i had sex with the N he told me to "Hurry up!". It apparently was taking too much of his precious time. The fact that he did not have sex with you in the last 5 weeks of your relationship does not mean that he is not an addict. The reason he did not have sex with you is because he had already devalued and discarded you. His mind was already on other things and other supply. He no longer saw value in you therefore no reason or need to use you for sex. As far as cheating....very debatable. I am not sure that a true Narc is monogamous with anyone. I dont say this to hurt you but it is the reality of the disorder. only one way to go...Forward (tm?)

Yep, he is a sex addict!

I had a similar situation with my sex addict/narc. In the beginning of our relationship he was really open about enjoying porn and masturbating!!! He would say stuff like "I can't have an orgasm right now (as we were in the middle of having sex) because I masturbated right before I came over".... Why the eff would a guy jack off right before they were going to their girlfriend's house?....When he was so open about masturbation, I was uncomfortable, but I brushed it off...I didn't want to seem like a prude. I just thought he was really in touch with his body and comfortable with his sexuality. He also acted like it was no big deal when I discovered that he liked to wear womens lingerie and use a dildo for anal sex on himself! He was like "who cares... it's just role playing and the stockings feel good and silky when I wear them".... He actually had me believing that it was not that big of a deal that he liked to wear my undies and shove a huge toy up his ass!!! The weirdest part of his sex addiction is that he got to the point that normal sex didn't do it for him anymore! He could not have an orgasm with me through sex...he had to stop and jack himself off! Finally, he just gave up and stopped having sex with me and told me it was just too much effort. I was devastated by this and my self esteem was shattered! I still have huge issues sexually and feel unattractive about my body! Now I know that withdrawing sexually is a huge form of abuse and a total power trip for them! It has nothing to do with the fact that he is not from the same country as you!

BRAINWASHED

He actually had me believing that it was not that big of a deal that he liked to wear my undies and shove a huge toy up his ass!!! You too huh? Mine was into fetishes, wanted my arm pit hairs long, and my leg hairs long, I mean WTF, he probably would pretend I was a man for all I know. Had to constantly talk filthy to him, felt like an idiot too while screaming at the top of my lungs "F--- me like a whore" I almost laughed once because it was so ridiculous, I always felt like I was in a porn movie with him and he was the director, should have brought some whips and whipped the sick bastard before I left. He was never fully erect either, NEVER, I always had to jump start the limp thing, ya like I enjoyed that, NOT. They should really consider just masturbating to porn for their sex lives and leave the rest of the human race alone. They are lousy sex partners, no connection NOTHING. Oh they know the moves - but that is all it is - Sorry but when I am intimate half the turn on is having a connection, I might as well have been with a naked statue, at least it would have stayed erect and made me feel desirable. ha ha

The sex stories

First sociopath had conjugal rights apparently, I think I will punch a guy out if he ever says that to me again. Second was supreeemmeeely SOMATIC, so i think he would have poked a lamp post if he found a hole in it. I thought I liked sex but sheeesh, he never let up. So mechanichal and always about what an awesome performer he was. Talk about sexual acrobatics. On the very rare occasion I knocked him back he actually masturbated next to me, or on me. I don't consider myself a prude but this used to send me over the edge. I'm guessing guilt trip for the poor sex starved thing, it might have been like 12 whole hours or something. So Narc three was a complete change. Seemed to CARE and be a very considerate lover. Ha ha that was before the bomb got dropped. He was one of the eternal silent types, so sex became the only way to connect and I ended up being the one hanging out for it while he just got fatter. And boy did he use it for punishment. Yup...cerebral. Felt like I went from one extreme to the other, no wonder I ended up sooo effed up. Anyway after contemplating the type of men I have been with I have come to a conclusion that a REAL man has never made love to me, so after much ado, ladies... I am reclaiming my virginity at the ripe old age of 42. LMAO

uggggg!

I could not handle the chronic masturbating! I would wake up in the middle of the night to him jacking off! At first I was so shocked, and I yelled "what the hell are you doing?" He just matter of factly said "I didn't want to disturb you for sex so I am masturbating". This was usually after rejecting me the night before. It was such a huge slap in my face and totally made me sick. Near the end of our relationship, he made no excuses or apologies, and I stopped reacting. I just could not fathom this strange behavior because my first husband was pretty much just a regular guy sexually. I am sure he jacked off, but he never did it in front of me! So effing weird!

Yeah, mine didn't have great

Yeah, mine didn't have great erections either. If he was giving me oral sex, and afterwards I wanted intercourse, he would have to stroke himself to make himself hard enough. It was only the very first time together where he was hard enough without doing anything to himself. Soooooo not used to that from normal guys, who pretty much get an erection just from kissing you.

What? You mean he gave

What? You mean he gave other women oral sex but not you? Whoa. What a dirtbag. I'm not even that pushed about oral sex, I much prefer intercourse, but he did it anyway. I guess it's less intimate than intercourse because he's away down there.
