A certain segment of the homosexual community expresses narcissism by promoting total and absolute sexual freedom.
Line 1: Line 1:  
'''Narcissism''' is excessive [[love]] of oneself.  The word is based on the [[Greek]] myth of [[Narcissus]], who resisted the advances of a nymph and was consequently made to fall in love with his own reflection.  In psychology, extreme narcissism is a symptom of [[Narcissistic personality disorder]], in which a person overestimates his own abilities and attractiveness, at the expense of concern for the needs and feelings of others.  However, it has been argued that a moderate amount of narcissism is healthy.<ref>Morrison, A.

* Dr. Fitzgibbons describes the narcissistic person as a person who is "preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty or ideal love. For the homosexual narcissist, the goal is the pursuit of pleasure. A certain segment of the homosexual community expresses narcissism by promoting total and absolute sexual freedom. They advocate anonymous sex and extreme sexual behaviors that may explain the presence of a high degree of promiscuity in this segment of the population."<ref> [http://www.narth.com/docs/fitz2.html Homosexuality: The Untold Story]</ref>
