those things may be true of a particular individual who has an SPD diagnosis but I don't think you can work the opposite way
Well, it is difference of perspective. You can just see the seed, and I can see the tree and flowers in the seed. You are saying it is impossible such a little seed cannot contain such big tree. Obviously, as far as facts are concerned, you will win the argument

You can cut the seed and show me that see it is possible there is no tree, not even a single leaf. Seeds are of no value, they are dead. There is no sign of life. Logic always cut things up. You dissect someone's head and heart, you will not find love, all you will find is mess of nerves, veins and blood and other unpleasant thing.
Only a person whose soul will be drawn towards you will able to see your infinite potential. Only love can take you beyond your head and its logic. No matter what the science says it cannot defeat the trust born out of love. Love has no memory,it has nothing to do with head, it is not dependent on the image of person, it is just there, it cannot be sacred away by pain or death. It will go on nourishing the seed till the last breath even if it knows that the seed will take eternity to sprout.
And one devote his/her entire life in loving because if the essence of seed has filled your life with so much beauty, naturally you would like that essence to grow and spread itself.

You mistook me. I only meant that the passion lie dormant in their being, sleeping like uncoiled snake. My husband presence feel like black hole to other people. Many a times, people left his company (even when he used to sit silently in the corner, doing nothing ) saying that they don't like his presence, he seems to suck their energy. But I was attracted to same emptiness of his being even emptiness has beauty only if you have sensitivity to see it. And I am not exaggerating a bit or idealizing or something, trust me, whenever I was with him in the same room, I used get something like mild orgasm which was not like getting desperate or filled with lustful, but as if all my thoughts have stopped, and present moment is all there, bright and clear. I have felt this same magnetism of being even when he was more of an asexual and an-hedonistic.
So if you see from my eyes, for me my husband is intense while the guys who try to be a macho man or alpha male in bed are dead. I think this happen because the libido of a SPD is concentrated in sex center while in other PDs and normies, it is invaded by ego. Sex energy is abused and becomes a tool to gratify ego for normies and manifest itself in sentimentality and useless drama. Even if there are barriers that does not allow a SPD to come in contact with his sexual energy, these barriers work as boon and protect their purity. That's what I meant by intensity. Sexual energy may be in complete dormant state but still it is not dissipated, which is a big thing. That's why, unlike narcs or normies, they don't break down by other's disapproval as all their energy is rooted solely into their being. I don't know if I am making sense or not
We are brainwashed media and stupid literature that passion is to have uncontrollable desire for the woman's body and BDSM #######4.That is just ugly lust and violence which usually result from repressions. To me passion is purity, it has nothing to do with sexual drive, sentimentality and emotions. And I think you will too agree on this with me that a schizoid cannot fake- neither sexual desire nor emotions. SPD wouldn't have to exist, If they could have learned to fake it. Have you wondered why cannot you fake it? I think it is because your sexual energy is totally uncorrupt. It is in its pristine state. You fail to use it to gratify your ego because there is not much ego at first place.
You have no idea how attractive is that for someone who is going mad for something
real, even if it is emptiness, even if it means no sex, no emotions, no intimacy.
