Dr. Jekyll And Mr.
HydeNarcissists are either
cerebral or somatic. In other words, they either generate
their Narcissistic Supply by applying their bodies or by
applying their minds.
The somatic narcissist flaunts his sexual conquests, parades
his possessions, exhibits his muscles, brags about his physical
aesthetics or sexual prowess or exploits, is often a health
freak and a hypochondriac. The cerebral narcissist is a
know-it-all, haughty and intelligent "computer". He uses his
awesome intellect, or knowledge (real or pretended) to secure
adoration, adulation and admiration. To him, his body and its
maintenance are a burden and a distraction.
Both types are auto-erotic (psychosexually in love with
themselves, with their bodies and with their brain). Both types
prefer masturbation to adult, mature, interactive,
multi-dimensional and emotion-laden sex.
The cerebral narcissist is often celibate (even when he has a
girlfriend or a spouse). He prefers pornography and sexual
auto-stimulation to the real thing. The cerebral narcissist is
sometimes a latent (hidden, not yet outed) homosexual.
The somatic narcissist uses other people's bodies to
masturbate. Sex with him - pyrotechnics and acrobatics aside -
is likely to be an impersonal and emotionally alienating and
draining experience. The partner is often treated as an object,
an extension of the somatic narcissist, a toy, a warm and
pulsating vibrator.
It is a mistake to assume type-constancy. In other words, all
narcissists are BOTH cerebral and somatic. In each narcissist,
one of the types is dominant. So, the narcissist is either
OVERWHELMINGLY cerebral - or DOMINANTLY somatic. But the other
type, the recessive (manifested less frequently) type, is
there. It is lurking, waiting to erupt.
The narcissist swings between his dominant type and his
recessive type. The latter is expressed mainly as a result of a
major narcissistic injury or life crisis.
