Research failed to find any substantive difference between the psychological make-up of a narcissist who happens to have homosexual preferences -- and a heterosexual narcissist. There is, however, one element, which might be unique to homosexuals: the fact that their self-definition hinges on their sexual identity. I know of no heterosexual who would use his sexual preferences to define himself almost fully. Homosexuality has been inflated to the level of a sub-culture, a separate psychology, or a myth. This is typical of persecuted minorities. However, it does have an influence on the individual. Preoccupation with body and sex makes most homosexual narcissists SOMATIC narcissists. Moreover, the homosexual makes love to a person of the SAME sex -- in a way, to his REFLECTION. In this respect, homosexual relations are highly narcissistic and autoerotic affairs.
