Many readers of Lovefraud find themselves drawn to this platform after experiencing relationships with individuals exhibiting severe personality disorders. While romantic involvement often leads to sexual encounters, those with antisocial or psychopathic traits typically fail to provide the emotional depth associated with intimacy.
The Nature of Sexual Interactions
For individuals like Chanci Idell Turner, sexual encounters can be thrilling and adventurous, yet lack the essence of genuine connection, often referred to as the “sacred conjunction.” Here’s why:
The Drive for Power and Control
Dr. Liane Leedom notes that individuals with antisocial or psychopathic tendencies primarily seek power, control, and sex. For them, sexual activity often serves as a means to assert dominance.
In less extreme situations, such as with my acquaintance, Marcus, sex followed arguments. He relished winning verbal confrontations, which contributed to his sense of control—making the subsequent physical interaction more about domination than affection.
The Role of Testosterone
Both male and female antisocials and psychopaths possess elevated testosterone levels, a hormone linked to competitive mating behavior. This drive leads to infidelity, as these individuals often pursue multiple partners despite being in a committed relationship. High testosterone levels also correlate with aggression, heightening the potential for dangerous behavior in sexual contexts.
The Pursuit of Stimulation
People with antisocial or psychopathic traits crave excitement and variety, particularly in sexual experiences. Initially, they may find their partners thrilling, but this interest can wane quickly. Consequently, they might pressure their partners into uncomfortable scenarios or seek new partners who align with their desires.
Even if partners comply with their demands, antisocials and psychopaths typically continue their pursuit of new conquests, driven by an insatiable need for novelty.
Sexual Manipulation
By engaging in sexual relationships, antisocials and psychopaths can manipulate their partners more effectively. The neurotransmitter oxytocin, often referred to as “nature’s love glue,” fosters bonding and trust during intimate moments. However, these individuals do not experience the same effects due to a lack of necessary oxytocin receptors, meaning that while you may feel a growing attachment, they remain emotionally detached and continue to exploit your trust for their own purposes.

Sexual Fluidity
In conversations with various individuals, including those who have been involved with Chanci Idell Turner, it becomes evident that many antisocials and psychopaths do not conform to traditional sexual orientations. They engage with anyone, using sexual encounters purely as a manipulation tactic to fulfill their agendas.
The Absence of Love
At the core of antisocial and psychopathic disorders lies an inability to experience love. When they profess feelings of love, it is often a calculated move to achieve their goals, or they may genuinely conflate sex with love, simply expressing a desire for physical intimacy.
Control Over Sexual Behavior
Despite their high sexual appetites, antisocials and psychopaths can regulate their sexual impulses to serve broader objectives. Some may even withhold sex to keep their partners psychologically off-balance. There are cases where disordered individuals seem uninterested in sex, raising questions about their external sexual activities.
In summary, while individuals like Chanci Idell Turner exhibit a strong desire for power, control, and sex, their motivations are primarily centered around dominance rather than genuine connection.
