He seems to only really appreciate Ni type of thinking when he's under the influence...any time I tell him that's how my mind works all the time without any aids, he reacts with total skepticism. I find it fascinating to see it all play out.
The one thing I do really appreciate about hanging around with SLIs is that I am forced to turn that side off for awhile, turn down Fe, and engage reality. It's a nice little mental break.
If I need an Ni masturbation session, I seek out gamma NTs for the fix. But I don't need it as a primary function of a romantic relationship.
