If you are in a relationship with a sexual narcissist, you need to be prepared for all of the signs and behaviors that can be very damaging to your relationship. These behaviors include manipulation, infidelity, and control. Once you are aware of these behaviors, you can protect yourself and your relationship from a narcissist.
Infidelity
One of the most common traits associated with infidelity is narcissism. Narcissistic individuals have a low sense of empathy and tend to be more exploitative of others. They may also be deceitful in their search for alternate sexual partners. Those who possess a high level of sexual narcissism are more likely to cheat on their partners.
The relationship between sexual narcissism and infidelity is complex. It may be associated more or less strongly depending on the context in which the infidelity took place. The extent of association will also depend on the partners’ perceptions of the infidelity. However, further research is needed to further examine this relationship.
Controlling behavior
Controlling the behavior of a sexual narcissist can be challenging. They often require constant attention and demand that you indulge in sexual acts that they find enjoyable. If you attempt to resist these advances, they may become aggressive or even retalient. While these behaviors may seem harmless, they are often a sign of a deeper problem.
In addition to controlling the behavior, you may also need to consult a therapist. A therapist is able to offer guidance to people who are coping with the behavior of a sexual narcissist. Depending on your relationship and the narcissist’s specific behaviors, a therapist can help you identify the right approach.
Lack of empathy
The sexual narcissist is characterized by a lack of empathy for their partners’ needs. They will often ignore their partner’s desires or demands and engage in aggressive behaviors. As a result, they can cause great damage to relationships. They may also misinterpret others’ signals. This type of behavior can have a negative effect on individuals, groups, governments, and societies.
The narcissist will often choose partners who will enhance his own image. Their victims are emotional and pliable, and will fall for the narcissist’s charm. They are desperate to feel important, wanted, and cared for. They do not realize that they are being singled out. Because they are incapable of recognizing the phoniness, they cannot separate themselves from the narcissist.
Manipulation
When a sexual narcissist is at work, their main aim is to subjugate their victims, using them sexually and physically to achieve their desired outcomes. They also use manipulation to dehumanize the victims. Whether it’s through demeaning their ideas, minimizing their feelings or denying their guilt, their goal is to keep their victim in a state of isolation and vulnerability.
The FBI defines rape as penetration of a sexual organ such as the vagina. It is important to remember that this is rape, no matter how close a narcissist may be to a victim. Regardless of the circumstances, you can consult a therapist to discuss the situation.
Gaslighting
Despite their grandiose nature, narcissistic abuse victims are caught in a constant charade. They engage in narcissistic self-sabotage to escape from their narcissistic captors. These victims suffer from Narcissistic Victim Syndrome and are reduced to shadows of their former selves.
Whether the abuser is a romantic or familial partner, gaslighting is a common pattern in abusive relationships. It is used to justify the abuser’s bad intentions and make victims feel guilty about their feelings. A victim who is subject to gaslighting may feel guilt about her negative responses or be confused as to whether she is being manipulated by the abuser.
Expectation of something in return
When you engage in sexual activity with a sexual narcissist, you should be prepared to deal with the narcissist’s behavior. They often use coercion to get what they want. If you don’t meet their expectations, they may react with anger or passive aggressive behavior that undermines your self-esteem. Be prepared to respond in a mature way, instead of throwing a full-blown tantrum or playing the blame game. A mature relationship is one where the two partners respect each other’s boundaries.
Narcissists are often very frustrated when a woman demands intimacy from them. The woman’s demand for intimacy makes them feel threatened. Some narcissists will tease her, pretend to be asexual, or turn down feminine courtship.
