Have any NPD members here ever done this?
It's not that far-fetched when also considering NPD males could use their free hand to lean-on and support themselves against the mirror glass, effectively satisfying their need to high-five during sexual encounters.
Alternatively, have you ever fantasized about yourself while having sex with a partner?
Raises an interesting question in the case of NPD heterosexuals: is it possible to turn yourself gay? Or, more accurately, can the image of your own masturbation raise potentially dormant or tentative homosexual tendencies into a dominant sexual mode? Something to consider.
I have no comment as I can't relate to this fantasy. However I do have a comment on this below.
Is it possible to turn yourself gay?
No, the answer is no. If you believe gay ppl have no choice bc they are born gay, then they are gay no matter how much they are in denial. Any hederosexual individual, especially men will tell you they have 0 desire or fantasies about the same sex. I don't believe there is such thing as Bi Sexuals either. Bisexuals are gay individuals who are in deep denial so therefore they continue having sex with the opposite sex in order to feel normal, safe or hidden from their true nature. Hederosexual individuals or straight ppl are called straight for a reason, they don't engage in same sex relationships and many are homophobic however respectbc society says it's the " Right " thing to do. straight ppl don't fantasize about sex with same gender, again especially men. So any man who is having sex with another man is not straight, they are gay and should accept rather than stay in denial. I'm not a huge fan of labels either, however there needs to be a definition of actions and behaviors, and anyone who exist in 2017 knows you are gay if turned on, think about, have sex and fantasize about the same gender.
