Understanding Sex with a Woman with BPD: A Closer Look
Contrary to popular belief, sex with a woman exhibiting borderline personality disorder (BPD) traits is not necessarily different from sex with any other partner. The stereotype often emphasized is more about the ego-boosting effect rather than any unique sexual behavior.
Submissive and Responsive
From a man's perspective, women with borderline traits tend to be more submissive and responsive during sex. This typically manifests in a deep desire to please and fulfill the other person's needs. Such partners often engage in intense, pleasure-focused behavior, repeatedly achieving orgasm.
Sex with a woman who consistently meets these desires can significantly boost one's ego. This is why the stereotype of 'BPD sex allure' persists. However, it is crucial to remember that these behaviors are not typical for all women with BPD.
Complex Nature of BPD
It is important to understand that each woman with BPD is unique. The symptoms, behaviors, and feelings towards sex can vary widely. Learning about BPD is essential, as it is a highly complex condition that involves emotional instability, fear of abandonment, and intense interpersonal relationships.
My Personal Experience
I have had multiple sexual experiences with a woman who has been diagnosed with BPD. Surprisingly, her condition did not affect our sexual encounters in any significant way. She did not exhibit any 'borderliney' behaviors before, during, or after sex.
Sexuality in people with BPD typically influences their choice of partners rather than their behavior during sexual encounters. Classic examples include impulsivity, risk-taking, and a higher number of sexual partners. While some may claim that individuals with BPD are 'intense' or 'crazy' in bed, this is often used as justification to overlook interpersonal symptoms. However, there is little scientific evidence to support this claim.
Rational and Enjoyable Sex
The woman I slept with demonstrated reasonable selective behaviors in choosing partners and consistently practiced responsible safer sex. She was open and uninhibited in bed, but never in a pathological way. Instead, her sexual behavior was a reflection of being sex-positive and unashamed.
Our experience was thoroughly enjoyable and perfectly sane. It highlights that while sex with someone who has BPD may not differ significantly from that with any other partner, it is crucial to approach each situation with understanding and empathy.
