Multiple sexual encounters due to Narcissism?

I was just wondering about my own "problems" with sexuality... this is very rare for me to do. I have had some many encounters with men that I could not even begin to count. I am not exactly proud of this but would like to know if this is something related to the narcissism disorder. I've been told that I objectify men. Leave when I am done with them yeah you get the point. I know in the DSM it says that narcissists exploit people or something to that effect, but does that mean in a sexual way as well? I guess I just need something to rationlize my sexual behavior.

Here's an interesting professional comment: http://www.drirene.com/2_nar.htm

Hi 90mph....

Are you looking to rationalize or understand?

That's important for you to quantify as a beginning to answering your question.

It's good to remember that a conscience is in short supply with pure narcissism. You say that your not proud of your behavior,,,that is a simple indicator that pure self service is not genuinely in play...

Your promiscuity ( if I may define your behavior) may have to do with many things other than a narcissistic supply...low self esteme,,early sexual trama, the need for control in your life, emptiness caused by profound loss and/or other aspects of personality.

Please be careful out there,,,there are things that can kill you...

I hope I have given you something to begin...we care..

Thanks perna... for the link. I skimmed it and I could relate to a lot of what it was saying. For example, I try to go for men who are not available to me, but now it all makes sense, the narcissisistic supply is greater. For example I go after married men, or in any instance my therapist who actually recipricated, but yeah i guess it's all about obtaining narcissistic supply for me. I need it all the time its a flippin' drug for me, just never knew what to call it. At the begiining I made a game out of all my sexual partners, I would tally them up by the end of the week say it was 10, then I would go see if I could beat my record, not I dont even wanna see how many Ive slept with, anyway I guess in a way that was using them as objects. Thanks for the replies but yeaaah.

90, what is your purpose in asking this question? Are you interested in changing something that you're not proud of? Or are you just wanting an excuse? Diagnoses don't cause behavior. They just describe some of it. They don't protect you, or excuse anything. I understand that you get something out of it, or you wouldn't keep living that way, but you also get hurt pretty badly, and that's not good. Are you interested in finding healthier ways to get your needs met?

i think i agree with what rapunzel has said.
