Sexual life
of the schizoid
The schizoid’s libido is clearly
lower than it is in the general population. Some have no sex life at all, nor
are they
interested in having one. Others – and these
probably represent the majority, do have a sex life, but it is limited.
They can go for long periods without any sexual interaction since their
desire is limited. This sexual limitation
also affects the quality of their emotional life with their partners, and the quality of their emotional life
will also affect
their
relationship with everyone else. There is no data on the hormonal character of
the schizoid.
If there were, it would probably reveal significant information.
Their reduced need affects those schizoids in a relationship, and those who
are single. Sometimes,
the need
may lead to sexual activity without
affection. Once the sexual act has been completed, all interest in the other
sex fades away,
and that
person is ignored and forgotten immediately. The schizoid believes that
sexuality is overrated because
he does not feel the need for it as strongly
as other individuals do. Often, sexual activity only begins late in life,
sometimes beyond the age of 30. And forget the rude
and obscene jokes – schizoids are simply not amused by them..
Sexual orientation is probably about the same as it
is in the general population, but the percentage of people
who are sexually
different may be greater. There is no truth in the theory that schizoids are asexual.
In fact, those
who are asexual
represent the minimum .And this asexuality should not be considered a lack of
sexual desire,
but rather as a total
disinterest in the sexual act. In reality, these asexual people still feel the desire for a partner
but
more as a friend, living in a platonic relationship. They are not sexually
aroused by intimacy,
and may even experience
the sexual act as being invasive.
These people may tolerate their partner at a distance, but not too close physically.
Though the schizoid may reject
physical intimacy, he/she will masturbate when alone.
The male schizoid may fail in
relationships owing to the fact that he is unable to fulfill
sexual and family expectations.
While the schizoid may succeed in establishing
some sort of satisfactory relationships, he will still find it difficult
to establish
any emotional bonds. Thus, it is worth bearing in mind that the schizoid personality
feels
uprooted, detached
and maladjusted.
