If you’ve found yourself in an exciting new relationship with a highly skilled lover who takes charge in the bedroom, psychologists say you may be fucking a narcissist. Narcissists want to be idealized and admired by others, which can make them extremely eager to please sexually. They typically take on the dominant role, preferring a position of power that can be exciting for the non-narcissist in the partnership.
A psychologist explained: “Some people will say, ‘This relationship is a nightmare but for the sex.’ They’ll say, ‘Sex is great, but this person is horrible to me. But they’re really good in bed.’” Narcissists crave validation, and performing well in bed is a way to get it. “Narcissistic people are very reward-sensitive: they like things that feel good, and they often don’t think about the consequences. So sex is the ultimate narcissist ground game,” sexperts said.
