Bouncing off of [MENTION=5684]Elfboy[/MENTION]'s thread about the "two types of Sx doms", noting the two prominent archetypes of romantic sx-dom and thrill-seeking sx-dom, I am curious about manifestations of the sx drive that depart from these two.
Gathered thus far:
SX
Focus on: intensity, prolonging, engagement, passion, attention, sensation, merging
- Romantic, true-love, passionate emotional bonding
- Intellectual merging, sharing of thoughts, ideas, knowledge
- Extreme sport thrill-seeking
- Tendency to linger in sensation
- Engaging in the same sensation over and over
- Deep engagement with art and music
- Promiscuity
- Addiction, true "junkie"
- Yearning, longing
- Fear of loss of sex appeal
- Enjoyment of personal physical comforting (snuggling, cuddling)
- Dressing in an attention-grabbing way
- Enjoying "immersing" scenarios (rave, club, etc)
- Milking every experience for what it's worth
- Disregard/avoidance of settings without opportunity for bonding
- Engaging others through bonding
- Being able to create "magical" experience for others
- Strong reaction from others
- Love for the dramatic
SO
Focus on: role, position, belonging, hierarchy, communication, adaptation, contribution
- Desire and enjoy an important role in groups
- Team player - "the group comes first"
- Friendly with many, but close to few
- Often compare self to peers
- Fear of public humiliation
- Awareness of what others think of you
- Like to be able to fit in
- Graceful entrance and exit
- Desire to know what's going on in the larger sphere
SP
Focus on: independence, self-sufficiency, needs, stability, comfort, safety, trust, balance
- Sensitive to physical and emotional comfort and discomfort
- Fixation with food - quality, taste, texture, availability
- Skepticism
- Assess risk before actions, avoid risk, awareness of consequence
- Fewer but more stable relationships
- Trust issues
- Focus on financial stability, hate being in debt
- Routines/habits - sticking to the usual
- Concerned with health
- Hot/cold nature, withdraw when preoccupied
- Ability to balance needs, desires / Limitation of overindulgence
- Integrity and commitment
- Prioritizing time for oneself
- Attention to personal spaces, home is a sanctuary, enjoy personalizing/decorating
- Preference for closed settings
