Are you interested in having sex with other people? Have you ever thought of yourself as less interested in sex than other people? Do you feel aroused at the thought of having sex with someone else? Do you feel aroused by the thought of masturbation? Do you fantasize about sex? If so, each time you imagine yourself, who do you think about, in what context? Does the word “sexual narcissism” really describe your sexual orientation to you? If not, what word would you substitute to describe it? These questions do not have a right or wrong answer, it is just a reference for you to have a more accurate picture of your sexual orientation.
