Understanding the Sexual Fluidity of Narcissistic Men
Episode Overview
Narcissists seek validation, not genuine sexual attraction. Sexual fluidity in narcissists is linked to their need for ego-stroking. Lack of interest in intimacy can be a control tactic. Narcissists' behaviour is driven by power and manipulation. Understanding these behaviours can aid in healing from abuse.
Their turn on is not the actual sexual attraction that one feels. It is the validation.
Are all narcissistic men secretly gay? This episode of 'Heal from within after Narcissistic Abuse with Danish' tackles this provocative question head-on. Danish Bashir, a certified clinical trauma specialist and narcissistic abuse recovery professional, sheds light on the complex sexual behaviours of narcissists. You'll learn that while some narcissistic men may exhibit sexual fluidity, it doesn't necessarily mean they are gay.
Instead, their erratic sexual behaviour often stems from a deep need for validation and admiration rather than genuine sexual attraction. Danish explains that narcissists are driven by a desire for power and control. Their sexual encounters are less about physical attraction and more about ego-stroking and receiving adoration. This episode dives into the concept of narcissistic autoerotica, where the narcissist's turn-on is linked to how much they can control and manipulate others.
It's a fascinating yet disturbing look into the mind of a narcissist. The episode also addresses common misconceptions that survivors of narcissistic abuse might have. For instance, if a narcissistic partner loses interest in physical intimacy as the relationship becomes more serious, it doesn't mean they are secretly gay. Instead, it's often a tactic to maintain control and keep their partner off balance. Danish uses real-life examples and his professional experience to provide clarity on these issues.
His insights are both eye-opening and supportive, offering a sense of understanding to those grappling with the confusing behaviours of a narcissistic partner. If you're looking to make sense of your experiences with a narcissist and find ways to heal, this episode is a must-listen. Danish's compassionate approach provides not just answers but also a pathway to recovery. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of narcissistic behaviours and take a step towards healing from the trauma you've endured.
