I don't expect to get a lot of responses to this thread, considering I'm asking one of the rarest and most private subtypes to open up and tell me stuff about themselves, but it's worth a shot.

5w6/Sx seems like one of the most contradictory and unlikely of all the possible subtype/dominant instinct combinations. I've read about them a little (at the link), but I almost never see self-typed Sexual 5w6s online.

If you're a sx-dom 5w6, or if you're fairly certain you know one, how accurate are these descriptions? In what ways is your experience different? Is the instinct for intense connection/intimacy directed more toward ideas that have a deep personal significance, or toward people?
