      I met a very charming, handsome and intelligent man who seemed to really like being with me. We would text each other in between the times we would have a date and they would become very sexually explicit, things he wanted to do. Then he wanted nude pics, but I didn’t mind because we had been intimate already. After that his sexual ideas became stranger, wanting two girls at the same time, experimenting with animals (neither of which ever happened ). This went on for almost a year, talking about his desires and dating once or twice a month. Then when I became annoyed at his insistence on having other women he started acting angry, said I was being too sensitive and began to deliberately push my buttons every time we talked, eventually leading to the breakup. Is this the behavior of a narcissist?

      Marsha65 – It is hard to answer your question based on only his sexual demands. Narcissism and sociopathy are syndromes, which means there are multiple aspects of the personality. He could be disordered. Or he could be someone who wants to push the boundaries of sexual experiences.

      I suggest you download our Sociopath Checklist. If you check a lot of the boxes, then he is likely disordered.

      Marsha65… I have no idea whether this is the behaviour of a narcissist but I’m fairly sure that the behaviour indicates that this is someone who wants his own way whether you like his way or not. And that, for me, is never a good thing.
