And what about a 6.9?
Masturbation can be as pleasurable as sex, because of the rich fantasy component involved. When you are engaged in the act with another person, you are focused on their needs as well as your own. It is therefore natural for the self-centered somatic narcissist to prefer autostimulation as a mode of sexual fulfillment.
I am also a research fanatic, and as a child I was always seeking "forbidden" knowledge. I read the Kama Sutra, clandestinely, at the age of about 10. I knew how to make myself come at 8 or 9, and taught my girlfriends how, too.
You take pride in your technical knowledge, but the truth is that good sex is profoundly visceral. To my mind, the best is kind raw and aggressive- an act in which you literally want to rip the other person apart, from the inside out, and consume them whole. For me, the real juice is in the power exchange... the dynamic of giving and taking, of dominating and submitting. Of hurting, and being hurt. Over time, this will teach you a great deal about base power dynamics, and manipulative strategies. The Kama Sutra will teach you what positions to try- but it will not teach you that.
As a woman, I have always been acutely aware that I approach sex from a more "masculine" perspective. For me, there is nothing emotional about the experience whatsoever. But neither is it purely technical. It is an energy exchange that can only take place between two individuals, feeding off each other. While technical prowess is good, you can't fake raw symbiosis. Maybe that is the difference between sex with a narcissist and a sociopath. Or a half-breed, at any rate. :p
Ha! You wouldn't be the first to lose respect for me for openly professing faith on a sociopath board. :p
I like you, but I don't care what you think or don't think of me, sugar. I'm not here to garner adulation or respect- just to be real. That is why I don't lie here- even about things which might make me look "bad". Fuck that. I am who I am.
Every choice I have ever made based upon my faith in god has bore good fruit. I may be a callous, unrepentant, ego-centric "hoowa", but I will never deny that truth. It is bigger and more powerful than me.
