Fake Love and Flying Monkeys

Intimacy With a Narcissist: Love or Manipulation?


Listen Later

“When sex becomes a weapon, it’s not about love—it’s about control.”

In this episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, I dive deep into how narcissists use sex as a tool for manipulation and emotional abuse. Sex, which should be an act of connection and intimacy, becomes a weapon in the hands of a narcissist, used to dominate, punish, and destabilise their partners.

You’ll learn:

How narcissists use love bombing and intense passion to trap you

The tactics narcissists use to withhold affection and make you feel unworthy

Why narcissists use sex to punish and control their partners

How sex becomes a tool to reinforce trauma bonds, making it harder to break free

Real-life examples from survivors of narcissistic abuse and how they reclaimed their power

Narcissists create cycles of emotional highs and lows, leaving you confused, emotionally drained, and desperate for validation. This isn't love—it’s emotional manipulation.

If you've felt controlled, devalued, or emotionally starved in a sexual relationship, this episode will give you the clarity, tools, and validation you need to break free from the narcissist’s grip and heal from the emotional scars left behind.
