Background: So I went into college for engineering and I'm in my third year and I realized that I am a theoretical Sexually curious being. I could care less about it in a practical sense and as long as I'm surrounded with more exciting things to learn and do I can go for years without a sexual relationship (my headspace and alone time are way more fun and important anyways). In a theoretical sense, however, the thoughts, the thinking process and lack thereof, biological processes, mental: conscious and unconscious... etc that go into the moments leading to the act itself and one's sexuality: kinks and all, and views on relationships are all so fascinating.
Discussion point: I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on this and things related.
I feel similarly in that I could go probably months without needing to be sexually stimulated in any way.
That said, from my experience I have watched myself become either very bored or slightly unhappy as a result of not letting myself accept that there is some biological fulfillment that is better off satisfied.
INTPs are naturally "sapiosexual" to some extent, though I'd like to explore that term as I think it becomes important to distinguish it from a perhaps "pure" appreciation for intellect. Arguably, a lot of people are sapiosexual when considering partners in the long-term, and INTPs are more likely to have intellectual stimulation as a preference even for short-term flings.
Though, for me, it is difficult to want to get out of my shell unless an E type asks in a way that interests me, or I'll need to take initiative and try to encourage myself to be E when I sense the other person is equally or more introverted, or isn't moving things along fast enough. Most of the time, though, things actually move too fast.
I guess I'm experienced enough on this front where I actually don't care anymore because I feel like it is all under my control. But I do recall times where I would be insanely frustrated at the lack of mental stimulation I would get, or, vice versa: the conversation was great, but the actual act was not. These, I don't think, are actually confined to being INTP-specific problems, though, lol.
In general, I set very high standards for all my outings. I'm extremely, extremely selective. That said, people are so different, even if they seem to have the same personality type. There is always something to appreciate about everyone, and there is always something to be critiqued about everyone.
I am curious about what the best type compatibility is for INTPs, however if there are articles out on it, I imagine they are probably as accurate as horoscope predictions.
