09 Apr 09 GAMES FOR NARCISSISTIC COUPLES (GENERAL INFORMATION)
Furthermore, sexual relationships of narcissists have more to do with getting narcissistic needs met—merging sexually with a symbol of status, say—than with tenderness and love. The male narcissist, feeling doubt about his self-worth, is attracted to a partner who is most like himself (often in fact a mirror image of himself, as in homosexuality), one who in some way does that self proud. Thus a proud man will look for a proud woman. Conversely, a beautiful woman will look for a handsome or rich man. Their sexual relationship will be satisfactory only on a superficial level, and then only as long as their twinship or idealizing transference lasts. Of course, such transferences can become negative and even ignite rage and envy. An example of this in fairy tales is when the witch in Snow White says, “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?” and the mirror replies, “Snow White.” The witch becomes enraged and tries to use witchcraft to destroy her rival.
The games for narcissistic couples are designed to counter and resolve their unhealthy narcissism.
