Sounds like you've been through some unpleasant situations in this forum. I really hope that this thread remains a place of calmy sharing opinions. Thank you for contributing.

3) so/sp (I am feeling that based upon your description of this person they use sex as a social skill
slash tool slash fun hobby and less as a form of intimacy; to me that screams so and not sx. The
lack of desire for intimacy makes me think that sx is not a possibility regardless of how much they
like to fuck. They like to fuck, not be intimate. There is a difference.)
Hmmm I think you're unfortunately onto sth. While I don't think this person is as shallow as the above description might suggest - it is smn who periodically surprises me with their comments and superficiality of opinions. It's smn definitely more physically driven than intimacy driven. I know this person well enough to see that there is more to all of it though. The way it works looking from the sidelines is: alone, alone, tired of being lonely, finds smn attractive and interesting, goes physical with no strings attached, after a while starts getting attached but refuses to acknowledge it, trouble with pride, at that point when actually this person starts falling in love it becomes to "dangerous" and this person withdraws or makes their partner go through tests (trust issues big time). Usually this makes things fall apart and the cycle starts all over again. I told this person when listening to complaints of lack of partner that it must be very difficult to be on receiving end for smn involved with this person. Recently the cycle started again but it seems the partner managed to jump through hoops so far and this person told me recently that is in love... So I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

4) sp/sx (I am confused by your first description. I cannot understand what it means... I do not think
it is important enough to sway my opinion however, just noting.)
This person says that doesn't need other people socially and doesn't crave friendships besides their partner and children.
