  • One of the most common questions people ask me in private is about the sexual obsession they have with the narcissist even after the breakup. In this video I talk about sex with narcissists, why you might find yourself obsessed with them, why it’s so hard to move past that obsession, what is real intimacy (in comparison to sex with the narc) and what you can do to help yourself release the sexual obsession.

    Another way to know that you are in a sexual relationship with the narc is to pay attention to your body. There is always a feeling of being used, which will represent itself with endless infections: urinary, candida, etc...which is your bodies' message that someone is parasitizing on you. You will always feel that you do not feel relaxed and energized after sex which is the whole purpose of it, but mostly drained, even more tired and tensed. Since they have no deep connection, they are not empathetic with you, they do not know you and your body and it feels like a masturbation together. On a long run you start not wanting the sex at all with the narc, which he will happily use as an excuse for cheating.

    Honestly it was the only thing I missed. Then after he cheated on me with the new supply (after he came hoovering and I gave into it and gave him another chance) we slept together again a few times, but it just didn’t feel the same anymore. I actually found it boring and didn’t feel anything towards him. But I’m glad I slept with him again (despite some regret), because I realized I was done with him for good!

      Its been 3 years, if u are still keeping up with this thread, has anyone been able to rekindle sexual desire in you since? I have to believe someone has! Hopefully! I totally thought id nvr find another partner with whom i enjoyed intimacy with as much. But after 3 years, might be 2 yrs, ive found someone even BETTER! Sex is intense, better, more intimate, more often...in fact, everything about the current lover is better than the last narc who entrapped me. And i appreciate him so much more prob bc ive been with 3 narcs previously. In comparison, hes pretty much perfect. Had i met him 20 years ago- i might have taken him for granted. I hope you have healed enough to attract and allow a better person to love you!

      Very true it helped for me until I ran into another who pushed the relationship & sex agenda hard. (He knew I had a sex addiction from my youth and traumas caused by others in my life) Made threats of ending his life because so much had happened in his life and feeling lonely. This was directly after my sister commited suicide and he volunteered to be emotional support and let me crash for a few months. A few months turned into a year of misery. I wanted to leave and was financially enough to at one point but he always pulled me back to staying for fear of loosing another person in my life. Tore apart everything that absence and soul searching had achieved. Just goes to show you you have to make sure they're all out your life before you can truly heal, cause these people have no soul.

He wouldn't do anything about his erection problems and wanted to use toys and play games where he wins sexual favors...he always won and when I caught him cheating, he never played again and said I cheated. Whew! I'm so glad to be away but my body feels differently even though sex wasn't good or frequent.

I recently realized(ignored it in the past) that it was years of one sided, manipulative, mind fucking and that the "relationship" was never real. I've even said exactly what you've said " It'll never be that great with anyone else" This video helped me so much! I can look back and see it was all mechanical and rehearsed the same positions and outcome. He'd be a cheating, lying asshole, Id leave him alone he'd come back like nothing happened, blame it all on me, beg for sex, I'd give in, be fucked and sometimes immediately discarded after sex until he needed his fix again after weeks or months of silent treatments. A cycle of BS ill never give in again! Thank You!

  • @DeborahLArmstrong
    @DeborahLArmstrong 7 років тому +123

    Great video, thanks! I have given this some thought and it seems like it has to do with the kinds of chemicals that are released in your body, which become addictive. It took me about 3 years to get over my narcissist! I may just be slow, but this was a really hard process. I cried every night for about a year, and even after that, the feelings kept coming back. They begin to fade over time, and now I feel nothing when I think of him, except a little sadness (that he was never who I thought he was) and anger (at having been made a fool), but even these feelings are no longer very intense.

Like how dare i ask for anything it has been the most brutal experience of my life and I can honestly say that I have been with an overt narc previously for 12 years had kids with them.

So we spent from amazing sex to not talking at all. So cruel, so hurtfull. When I was getting better, he came back like if anything has happened! It's being very hard to stay in no contact. I still miss him, I still belive I'm never gonna have that amazing sex again. He left me ruined.

      This is what the narc aims to achieve, that you’ll lose the desire to connect and be deeply intimate because they are unable to.

    The sex fast comes naturally, sexual energy dies... grief takes over for some months because your body shuts down sensually and sexually..the break is necessary..after the break, your frame of mind is clearer and you're in a better place to connect with someone new. I didn't desire casual sex at all and had a break for almost 6 months after which my life changed, I dated again and found a much healthier relationship..💓. Wishing the best to all those healing from things they can't speak about, especially the super empaths💓

      @kirklee66 2 роки тому +2

      you may be kidding yourself if you think that the narc was the sick one and you are somehow a better person because u r an "empath" that is just a better sounding word than narc that we can kid ourself with, it takes 2 sick people to do this dance, the only difference is that the co-dependant has a better chance of changing the sick behaviors. Super Empath = Super people pleaser = dysfunctional, that is my take on it anyway as someone who used to use the word empath to describe myself in order to deny and elevate my own dysfunction and to even feel good about my own sick behaviors

    Soul ties effect us in so many different ways. I remember feeling like I had his handprints all over me. So used and like trash. An old toy he used and threw away. I was vulnerable with him and I was treated like a disposable object over and over. Yet I felt I only wanted him and then later wanted noone. I couldn't even think of being sexual with anyone without it sending me until a loop of depressing thoughts of being used. One time when we were having sex, I got an image of a demon in my head. I brushed it off. Looking back, I believe it was a warning. I believe he is fighting a demon and losing the battle.

    hi meredith,for me that obsession comes from how the sex becomes conflict resolution between us. whenever there's problem, she always goes for sex and if i reject her,she will get mad. and yeah you are right,towards the end of our relation,the sex becomes very scarce. Frustating,but i couldn't help myself falling for her again and again

    Thank you for this. I've been trying and failing to pull away from my ex for the last year. I keep going back and i know im setting myself up for another silent treatment and more pain. I learned that she had narcissistic tendencies about 3 years ago but after seeing the only answer to the problem being "get out....FAST".....i put everything i had into HOPE that she wasnt this way. I couldnt handle the thought of leaving. Well, i moved out a year ago and the abuse is actually worse. I needed to hear this. I lie to myself often about how shallow and phony our relationship was, on her end, so having you put it right in front of me made it more concrete for me. Thanks again.

      Brother.. there are men out there who know EXACTLY what you're feeling, and I'm one of them.
      It's how they ensnare you bit by bit and make you the one feeling the one without power, even though it seems impossible when she's the one being pounded in every hole and enthusiastically doing all the hottest shit and being dominated.
      But there's another trick within their ways of making us weak, and that's not being able to take the thought of her doing all that with someone ELSE and I'm telling you, if she cheats, your mind and emotions will never be the same.

      My wife tried the same on me but I had a few partners over my life and I knew it was not normal with the red flags she was dropping from the beginning. When she tried to bait and switch me....... I never went back. She moved into the spare bedroom expecting me to beg her back or I would sniff around her for sex but I never went back. She ended trying to entice me back into the bed but by that time I just did not trust her anymore so I never have. She started having affairs and has ended up with 3 stds now, so luckily I have missed those bullets. She is trying to replace me but at the age of 44 and 2 kids most of her relationships are her getting smashed for a month but they bore with her easily.

      I really don't expect anyone to read this but I'm just brave enough to my Truth, give it a RANT.... IF BY ANY CHANCE WHEN I'M WRITING,,,,MAY SAVE A PERSON'S LIFE, to give my VEIW OF A NARC💙💦YES SELF RIGHTEOUS COVERT BLAME SHIFTING GASLIGHTING & PITTY PLOTS, FUTURE FAKING...
      He was the son of a Self RIGHTEOUS
      NARC PREACHER ,Ex was an only son..
      He was beaten by his dad after church..
      I can never let him know that I felt sorry for him, but he had to put on that mask to SURVIVE HIS CHILDHOOD~
      He would Listen INTENSELY to what I loved, desired most👁️ THAT'S when he BEGAN to WITHHOLD ☠️ The main thing is that HE was INCONSISTENT FOR 2 YRS & 8 MTHS ☠️ They don't FEEL,,, don't know HOW to FEEL 👁️ !!!!
      I Felt NULL & VIOD during the degrading SEXUAL ACT....HE DID JUST USE MY BODY TO MASTURBATE & ALWAYS FROM BEHIND ME, NEVER LOOK ME IN THE EYE NEVER HAD A ROMANTIC TIME, possibly 3 to 4 times while HE WAS LOVE BOMBING... He put on a BIG LOVING ACT !!!! NEVER DID IT MISSIONARY... He would FLIP ME to MY SIDE to use me..
      He USED THE EXCUSE THAT HE HAS LOWER BACK PROBLEMS👽 I'VE BEEN in THERAPY FOR 8 MONTHS WAS HOSPITALIZED ONCE, NEVER HUGS... Gave short, non feeling hugs when he had a sexual urge...
      I am an intelligent woman, I went to college I have common sense. I came from a narcissistic mother but never gave hugs I'm on my daddy. At 10 years old she push me back and told me that I was too big for that, to go on to bed 💦HE TRIGGERED ME & HE KNEW IT, HE KNEW MY STORY...! A N D
      HE USED IT👽
      WITH HOLDING A HUG TO HURT ME....I WAS 10 YEARS OLD AGAIN,,,.inside of me,,,,I am an empath I HAVE COGNITIVE DISSONANCE....
      I Kept giving him 2nd, 3rd chances .
      I felt sorry for him because he LOST HIS SON.. I WAS IN PAIN WITH MY KNEE ..
      I NEEDED SURGERY.
      I COULD BE IN ANY KINDA SEVERE PAIN FROM TIME TO TIME, NOT SEEKING ATTENTION , NEVER HAVE BEEN LIKE THAT !!!
      HE USED MY KINDNESS, I was a divorced mother-of-2 grown children.. He knew I had a daughter with Cerebral Palsy and she @ 28 years, got too big for me to take care of her and it tore my body down not only looking at me.
      I have always independent and loving and HE KNEW THIS !!!!
      Hugs were a big issue , his AMMUNITION AGAINST ME & MY CHILDHOOD TRAUMA 💀
      HE LOOK AT ME LIKE HE WAS IN ALIEN, NON EARTHLY ¿👽
      WHEN IT WOULD BE MOST OBVIOUS TO ANYONE ELSE THAT I NEEDED HAS EMBRACE, A HUG.... SOME KIND OF COMPASSION¿☠️
      ANYTIME OTHER THAN SEXUAL,,, HE NEVER HUGGED ME, WHEN IT WAS TRULY NEEDED, I WAS STAERVED EMOTIONALLY....
      I remember the first several times needing a hug & asking him to hug me ¿ HE would have a SLIGHT SMERK ON THE OUTER CORNER OF HIS MOUTH ?👁️ HE HAD DISTAIN FOR ME... I KNEW WHAT TRUE ((((HATE))) WAS THEN💀
      HE STILL WANTS TO GET BACK TOGETHER,.. WTF,
      I HAVE BEEN GONE FROM HIM FOR 5 MONTHS NOT GOING BACK TOGETHER WITH HIM !!!!
      HAVE NOT BEEN TO BED WITH HIM.. I AM FINISHED !!!! I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON MYSELF MY INTER CHILD ..I AM HEALING.. HE SENT ME A TEXT SAYING HOW MUCH HE KNOWS HE LOVES ((((( NOW)))) A N. D. HE'LL HUG ME
      NOW 👁️

      Kathy this is my life. And I speak to his ex very occasionally on the phone over their shared child and she has told me when drinking and loose lipped that he was sexually obsessed with her, and how she hated it. “He bothered me every day, it was awful.” And I sat listening quietly, devastated inside. Because I adore sex and am very sexual and always have been , and he has mocked me, called me a nympho, and humiliated me. He doles it out like antidote. He is not sexually obsessed with me. Not by a long shot. For a long time I was so hurt because as shallow as it sounds I’m so much more attractive than her, and I couldn’t imagine what was wrong with me, why her, and not me. Then I began watching these videos. Whatever you want- sex, no sex- they will give you the opposite so they can control you. I went as far as getting bigger implants last year. She has huge breasts. Now so many men are noticing and appreciating them I’m so unhappy, because I don’t want anyone but him. And he could care less. I’m just some Jessica rabbit nympho. I’m a joke.

    My narc is sex obsessed, porn obsessed, and self obsessed. He has stopped giving me any attention at all. Soon as I start detaching or when he and his new supply are spatting (lol, soooo fucking obvious) he tries to be nice and act like I exist. Thats the only time he has, in about 2 years payed me any mind is when he wants sex. Very robotic though when we did have sex. Not even intimate, no feeling to it just blah. I can give myself climax I dont need some asshole who thinks he is gods gift to everything do it for me. No spontinuity... Ive had this issue in the past, thinking of and wanting to give him sex and Im so glad that Im so sick and tired of being sick and tired.

    @honorali6449 6 років тому +52

    You are 100% dead right on this. The sex was amazing and I've taken him back several times because of the sex, which actually got more fantastic over time. He could sense when I was pulling away, and used sex to keep me with him. He knew that sex would calm me down when I was angry. I still can't say for sure if he loved me for real or not because we were so close and intense during sex. But he definitely dominated and controlled me with it.

    • @HeidiSchweichler
      @HeidiSchweichler 6 років тому +9

      I could have written your comment Honor Ali... so here's my question, how long did it take to stop taking him back? I feel like I lost all willpower to say No, like in your case it became better with time but there was never true intimacy which is what I correctly long for. He's become a worse addiction than what I imagine crack addiction must be like and I am baffled, how can an attractive, educated, emotionally stable woman get herself into this kind of relationship but more importantly how long before I am healed from this devastating experience?

    Great topic. It is one I have thought a lot about lately. My experience was somewhat different, by the end of the relationship I was so resentful when it came to sex. I was constantly pursued and could not possibly provide enough to satisfy him. Even during my pregnancy and postpartum I was pressured to be intimate at least four times a week. But the sex itself was weird and very controlling. After a while I felt like he was having sex with himself, staring in the mirror and just using my body. If I tried to take any control he would become unaroused. if I did not consent I would be punished with the silent treatment or made to feel prudish or inadequate, which was humiliating to me. There were also random periods where he would not be interested at all. Probably, he was having affairs. I will never know the truth around that and no longer care. I have not craved intimacy since we split almost two years ago. It is something I know I need to work on but it is a very interesting topic to reflect on.

    Sad that we - post trauma- have to have intimacy re-explained to us after sex with a npd. It is something I felt all along but thought "maybe if I love more" but no...and one time he even said after sex "I feel like a robot" --if I had known about npd that would've been HUGE flag. I had to learn the hard way. Thank you for reminding me I am not ruined and it was all a facade. I know if I dwell on it I will bring about an illness and stop me from moving forward. Yes, it is programming.This is so on point. He was hyper-sexual but when it came to cuddling or holding me (even and especially after asking for it), it was so forced and cold. There were many times I felt like I was dissociating during sex and imaging one of exes watching us, which was so bizarre for me. And thank you for suggesting the fast. I tried to self-help in that area and found myself bawling afterwards. Too much negative energy. Thank you for being a gift.

But I've missed the part about the sexual behavior of a narcissist. My husband lived for sex, everything was about sex.

    thanks so much for addressing this big elephant in the room that no one will talk about :) - also excellent insight into the realities associated with sexual relations with a narcissist
    I'm still not able to see why sex with a narcissist is so marvelous - but I do know that the price for that great fun is ultimately too high to pay - odd business, difficult to fathom - you would
    think that having sex with a person who was manipulating you, etc, would be unpleasant in some way, or that you would be able to sense something wrong about it - thanks again for giving us a video I really needed to see

    Thank you so much for posting this.i have been researching narc behaviors for the last few years.i always blamed me for everything,because she blamed me.you are so on point.i wasnt very attracted to her at first.she chased me down for a year,and i finally gave in.i decided at the time that i wanted to live right and be celebate.i met her in church.within a month,after trying to remain pure,i gave in to the sex and it was the strangest thing ive ever felt.she didnt even look human during the sex.i couldnt put my finger on it,but i knew something was wrong.she pushed all boundaries,then called me a freak.i married her,because i thought that was the "right" thing to do.i found out after two years,that she used to be a prostitute.i believed that everyone has a past,and anyone can change.i was wrong.so many red flags i ignored all the gut-feelings,and didnt listen to good advice from friends.i also found out she had affairs with men and women,while i stayed loyal throughout the marriage.there is so much i could say.i dealt with the lies,physical abuse,emotional abuse,and so much more.everything you have said is so true.i am an empath,and was always told i was too "sensitive." There is no doubt anymore that there was no intimate connection ever.i have been away for 8 months now and have been practicing celebesy.i refuse to think about the sex,because the whole relationship was fake.on her part.thanks again for sharing this video.

    Know this is a old video , but thank you ! This was so accurate, that was the only thing in the relationship that resembled intamacy. And yet it still left void . Also there were more times that I realized though I was present , she was more often than not connected at all just into the act . And it wasn't reciprotary. Always needed to be recieving, though acting it was for you . Like everything else with the covert narcissist , everything is fragmented ,and the pieces they don't fit together , and you don't have a complete picture . Just unanswered questions

    I asked him after intimacy " if we had a connection or was this just a game" ... he said " he had no connection to me" ... things went quickly downhill from there but obviously its all my fault...

    This is where I'm at right now. I was celibate for 11 years after coming out of an abusive relationship with a narcissist... and then I met another one. Casual sex is a trigger for me, for sure. This is a great video. Great advice. Thanx.

    What i realized from Narcastic is it's used like a drug, an addiction and it can even make you feel hallow afterwards. With true love it's not weaponized or used manipulatively. It's just icing on the already beautiful cake. It's connection, it adds onto the amazing bond you and your lover already share without sex.

    Wow thank you so much. I can’t believe I was mistaking sex for emotional intimacy actually believing it would draw us together and create a stronger bond when the narc was just using sex as a tool for power and control, it is so clear now . The narc was never committed emotionally to our relationship, that just made my cravings for emotional intimacy more intense, which I mistook for a project to get her to love me as much as I felt that I loved her, I can now see that that, was and is impossible. I have been used as supply but it is ok, I have to accept it and forgive myself and learn from all of this. I need to be able to recognise my own needs clearly and concisely. Emotionally, financially, mentally I gave everything to that relationship and received nothing in return, I gave more than I had to give and I am suffering the consequences of that still today, but bit by bit, every day I am recovering. I am stronger, wiser. Nofap, healthy eating, exercise, cold showers and meditation are what I will be focusing on now.

      micsotonbrum mine would seem to try and hypnotize me during sex. saying “who do you love, who will take care of you, who is the only one you want sex with” over and over. your post resonated with me. thanks

    What a great video. I was I involved with a Psychopath from 22 until I was 42. I’ve recently been thinking about our sexual relationship. Yes the sex was good but the rest was disgusting. Thank you for reminding me of the big picture. No contact for years now🥰
