Narcissistic Tendencies Quotes

“Now, if they make true intimacy their foundation, meaning they get to know someone deeply and build a place where compassion and commitment can happen, they build a place of safety amid vulnerability. If that is their anchor, then sex gets to be the pleasure cruise it was meant to be.”
― Jennifer Peel, Narcissistic Tendencies

“First, there is a difference between true intimacy and physical affection. Unfortunately, most of us have forgotten that, because everything from movies and TV to our peers sells us sex and makes us think that’s all you need to have in a relationship—and if you aren’t having it, something is wrong with you. But having a real relationship means putting in a lot of hard work. We have lost the art of courtship in our culture.”
