    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

    This is interesting, @ConcreteButterfly. How did you put it together? I see it works well with Gulenko's Erotic types. I noticed some of the Aggressor ones, when I look up where their Si is on Model A, it works, your description works for that Aggressor type. And the description fits for my SLI husband and I.

    It would be helpful if you could put types codes next to each one of those, or if someone else could. It would be much easier to consider the theory.

    What I read seems to fit. I am not entirely comfortable with my IEE's but I think its just the wording. The essence of its true. For IEE, Si is in Suggestive Function, and, its not our strongest place. So our Dual has it in a very strong place. It works.

    For IEE its: "Suggestive - Hesitates to initiate sex unless partner is clearly receptive. Often oblivious to their partner's discomfort and their own, can unintentionally attract or repel a partner by their mannerisms, clothing choices, etc. Evasive of strong sexual advances, but receptive to gentleness, needs a lenient partner who can go at their sometimes 'staccato' pace. Sex takes a backseat to intellectual pursuits so is sometimes sexually inert. "

    The terms "inert" and "staccato" and "repelling" put me off in this description. But I'll try to consider them anyway. Its true my obliviousness does at times completely unintentionally attract, so, it must work the other way, too. I mean, as far as drawing attention - I try to look my best before I go out, and I forget about how I look when I am out, and I am definitely not trying to attract; I am in my own head, and when I do attract its a "surprise". I suppose if I repel, I shrug it off since I was not trying to attract or repel (I cannot think of an example, perhaps because I don't dwell on negative experiences. Oh, the only example I can think of is someone on 16t has told me they are repelled by me and I really can't imagine how. The explanation makes no sense to me. So, that does fit with the above notion of attracting and repelling obliviously.)

    Yes, I would not initiate unless I knew my partner was receptive. In the beginning with SLI, I did initiate touch, and that's because my IEE intuition made me quite sure he was more interested than he was letting on! And I wanted to tease it out of him. (I was right! He was! ). We are married now and I don't have to question if he is receptive, because he always is!

    I, on the other hand, can be unprepared. Perhaps this is what is meant by that "staccato pace" and "inert" --that there are times my mind is so far from Si enjoyments. SLI is lenient about this. But I don't want to leave him hanging too long, though, sometimes its hard to know how to change my mood as fast as I'd like. Quieting my mind helps. SLIs touch helps.

    To me SLI seems like a bundle of Si sensations and awareness. His hands, oh my goodness. There must be something so special about SLI hands. They can wake me up and pull me out of my mind, so fast, when my mind had previously been so far from any Si awarenesses. As Ann said here, they are very into their awareness of sensation received, but I find, as mentioned in the OP, he also attunes his movements to mine, and he has strong awareness of my subtlest responses and adjusts so we are in tune.

    And I have reached the edge of how detailed as I can get!

    LOL. Maybe the above answered some of that. We are Si seeking, we just don't know how to find it. And Si-base brings it.

    ____________

    P.S. I should add, in reference to the above descriptor of Si suggestive function, that it's true - I was always adeptly skillful at evading strong sexual advances, and I am taken in by gentle advances (in my SLI husband's case, his first gentle very subtle advance bowled me over, made me completely fall helplessly for him).

    I don´t believe much thinking goes on during sex, I think "erotic styles" may be a mistranslation, "romantic styles" makes more sense. Eventually erotic styles may make more sense for irrational types.

    Using the example of violin implies that some people have a natural ability for learning the violin ergo Si must have a natural ability at sex, circular reasoning. Therefore I elaborate in the adjective you used to describe it as silky.

    Forer effect is people reading a description and identifyinf with it anyway regardless of its actual preciseness.

    Are you being hissy with me or agreeing with me? I get confused we are all so elliptical. Thank you for the lexigraph I think.

    Would identifying as human be the ultimate forer effect...

    Or that they are skilled at that.

    Now this is a story all about how, my type got changed, turned upside down. Just wait for a minute and watch chatbox right there, & I'll tell how Gem became the moderator with blue hair.

    In typology central friended and praised, on the picture thread was where she spent most her days. Chilling out, selfies, relaxing all cool, And all typing some people and getting them schooled.

    When a couple of girls who were up to no good, Started annoying her & her friends in the forumhood, She got in one little flame war & got pissed off & said 'I'm moving in with that exboyfriend in the forum with the socionics toffs.

    So Gem pulls up to the forum for a year without being a hater, And yells to typocentral 'Yo creeps! Smell Ya later', Became a mod in her kingdom she was finally there, To sit on her throne as the mod with blue hair.

    Si - sensational part
    Se - to have the "access"

    F - sex is also the way of intensive emotional exchange
    N - there is imaginational part
    T - thoughts about what is now to do

    Honestly, I have never seen it as something to be chased or something to be experienced as there are much more interesting things out there.

    Ummm... there are logical and ethical reasons behind it as well.

    Especially SiFe is sex/sensuality. In ILE this is unconscious seeking functions. And ILEs can be really into sex. SEIs are also sensual but for them it lacks the numinosity that unconscios functions have.
    The decisive thing is not the reality of the object, but the reality of the subjective factor, i.e. the primordial images, which in their totality represent a psychic mirror-world. It is a mirror, however, with the peculiar capacity of representing the present contents of consciousness not in their known and customary form but in a certain sense sub specie aeternitatis, somewhat as a million-year old consciousness might see them.

    Sadly, I’ve heard of instances where base and creative Si were...pretty bad in bed. And where Si suggestive had some aptitude. I think said experiences were from individuals who didn’t value Si, though.

    Chaste so I can’t attest to mobilizing Si or anyone else’s. I do resonate with difficulty being convinced of my own attractiveness.

    I imagine Si can have some use in sex. Being aware of your body and aware of the other person's body is how sex works lol.
    The Barnum or Forer effect is the tendency for people to judge that general, universally valid statements about personality are actually specific descriptions of their own personalities. A "universally valid" statement is one that is true of everyone—or, more likely, nearly everyone. It is not known why people tend to make such misjudgments, but the effect has been experimentally reproduced.

    The psychologist Paul Meehl named this fallacy "the P.T. Barnum effect" because Barnum built his circus and dime museum on the principle of having something for everyone. It is also called "the Forer effect" after its discoverer, the psychologist Bertram R. Forer, who modestly dubbed it "the fallacy of personal validation".
