Number two: fear of vulnerability.
Narcissists are often terrified of being vulnerable. True intimacy, you see, requires vulnerability, and they resist it because being vulnerable would threaten to expose their false persona and carefully constructed image of invincibility and superiority. Now, this fear can be a significant barrier to a healthy s£xual relationship with their spouse. Understand that there’s a big difference between being seductive and being genuinely vulnerable, and there’s a big difference between being emotionally manipulative and being genuinely vulnerable.
Number three: power and control dynamics.
Now, narcissistic people thrive on power and control. In the bedroom, they may want to dominate and control the situation, making s£x feel transactional or one-sided. Now, this can be a major turnoff for their partners, which, of course, inflicts narcissistic injury. Once injured, you’re not likely to have a willing partner because their ego won’t allow for it.
Number four: self-centeredness.
Narcissists are inherently self-centered, focusing primarily on their own wants, needs, wishes, and desires. They may not prioritize your pleasure or even consider it during s£x. Feeling like you’re being treated like an object instead of a live, in-the-flesh human being doesn’t exactly inspire healthy intimacy. And the moment they realize they aren’t living up to your very reasonable and healthy standards and expectations in terms of what healthy reciprocal love looks and feels like, they shut down.
