Most sexual NT?

[Norton]

All my NT friends can go for months without sex without going crazy.

Anecdotal evidence.

Even the most careful sociologists and psychologists who specialize in sexuality have great difficulty in designing reasonably objective and accurate questionnaires. Self-reporting about sexuality is as rife with untruth as is self-reporting about diet. That is why sexuality studies posing similar questions but designed by different investigators yield greatly varying results. For example, we don't yet have a definitive number for the percentage of gay people in the population.

A hypothesis: The NT's you attract as friends have particularly depressed libidos. (If they are, indeed, NT's, which you don't really know unless you test them.)

Hmm... I don't think sex drive has anything to do with personality, but rather biochemical makeup.

Many would say personality type comes from biochemical makeup.

Perhaps, but personality doesn't determine ones sex drive.

No that would be more about hormonal balance I would imagine.

I think on a broad view there are differences. Not necessarily in terms of libido, but in a more broader definition. An SP will enjoy sensory experiences, even if it was just a micro degree, more than an NT. All my NT friends can go for months without sex without going crazy.

I know NFs who can remain abstinent for yeeeeears!

I know SPs who can stay abstinent for years...

Cool!

If you administer testosterone to a woman, her libido increases but her personality doesn't fundamentally change.

Isn't psychology a science?

You don't need questionnaires to know things. I'm pretty sure there are more SPs in porn than NFs.

There are likely damaged people of all types in porn.

And, you can be sure as much as you like, but you don't really know. You just believe and your belief is based on supposition.

That's because you're a Ti user.
First, by defining things narrowly you miss the big picture.
Second, logic as such isn't a closed coherent system and depends on intuition.
Third, there's such a thing as common sense (although you as an INTP would probably deny it exists). Intuition is also a form of knowledge, it's just not formalized.

This is like saying "which type eats the most food?" or "which type is the coldest?". It varies from person to person.

I like your Elmo avy...he's the most sexual of them all.

So you say there are more NFs in porn than SPs?

I don't watch porn so I can't form a solid answer but come on NFs are the best at everything therefore NFs are the kings of porn.

By evading my question you have just confirmed my argument.

You don't know me at all and you're making pronouncements about me based only on my being an INTP? A mature, versatile person is capable of using many different modalities of intellect and intuition beyond his or her MBTI preferences. The older you get and the more experience you have, the more likely you are to become more balanced and less confined by categories, including categories like those of MBTI that have indistinct boundaries. And, the more likely you are to see the "big picture." That is, of course, unless one is an involuted, fearful person who is unwilling to accept the challenge of leaving one's comfort zone. If your prejudices about INTP's reflect analogous expectations regarding other types in the MBTI spectrum, one would expect all the INFJ's on this forum to think and feel the same. Stick around here for a while. You'll see how false this is.

So you say there are more NFs in porn than SPs?

Wow, this thread is amusing...

First off, who are you to say that there are more SPs in porn than any other type? That seems like a difficult judgment to make.

Secondly, you do realize how it might sound to an SP when you imply that their (stereotypical) personalities make them more inclined to look into the porn industry for a possible career, correct?

Plus, I usually don't think of porn as the highest manifestation of sexuality out there - in that respect, it's actually rather shallow and lacking. That's just my opinion, though, and that's another problem - sexuality carries a different meaning for each individual. If anything, there isn't a type that's more sexual than another, they're just distinct in their sexuality.

I don't watch porn but that doesn't mean I'm not sexual.

Edit: I seriously don't watch porn
