I'll try to find some samples who don't look like psychopaths later.
" Everyone who met Rasputin remarked on his eyes and how hypnotic they were. His "shining steel-like" or "bright and brilliant" and "intelligent" eyes became legendary. According to Theofan, Paul Kurlov and Count Kokotsov he had "piercing" eyes. to Yusupov his eyes were "phosphorescent"; toTamara Karsavinahe had the eyes of a maniac. Elena Dzhanumova wrote in her diary: “What eyes he has! You cannot endure his gaze for long."
Dude at work: Within, you've got that perfect psychopath backslick, just as xxxx and xxxx and xxxx. (Listing patients with Antisocial personality disorder).
Me: You think my backslick is perfect?
Dude at work: I'm saying you creep me out.
Me: Excuse me, I have to return some video tapes.

I'm sure eno is also sx/sp. He's typed E5w6, but I think he's E5w4 (in any case strong 4 fix, not 6)
The music of this band can vacillate between sx/sp and sp/sx. I imagine the members consist of both sx/sp and sp/sx types by their vibe.

“My typology is . . . not in any sense to stick labels on people at first sight. It is not a physiognomy and not an anthropological system, but a critical psychology dealing with the organization and delimitation of psychic processes that can be shown to be typical.” —C.G. Jung

Pink's music strikes me as sx/sp.
I think she's sx/so ...SLE Enneagram 8, maybe that's why she sounds more angry/edgy and less socially levelled out.
I cannot identify with absolutely anything in the cartoon above, it vibes sp/sx, just like Joan Cornella.
methinks the lady is SEE sx/sp
I didn't want to be overly intrusive when I read your long monologue ....but I think you associate the sx/sp stack with loneliness and low sex drive due to a specific sexual orientation...? Sx first has an extremely high relational energy generally, if anything (by this I mean ofc much more than sex). They can hardly stay single for a long time. Just saying. But I do respect your personal experiences and understanding.
I don't correlate sx/sp with either of those things per se. My point was more that a comparatively low sex drive is still compatible with an sx/sp mentality.
I also may be more demisexual than I've realized, which will surely skew my outlook. Will need to meditate on that.
Relational energy is a good way of putting it. It doesn't necessitate that the relationship be romantic by default.
My understanding of the sx/sp (or at least some sx/sps) is an opposite approach. "I'd rather be alone than with someone who doesn't completely get me." It's the sp-lasts I've known who've been the more serial relationship jumpers.
"This is perhaps the most internally conflicted of the stackings, and potentially the most inconsistent in behavior. This may occur as a blockage of the sexual instinct which can be redirected as a more generally brooding and troubled personality. They may isolate themselves for long periods of time before reemerging."

So you see sx/sp as more being about searching for someone or giving yourself up to someone who gets you? I would think that a sense of being understood by someone seems a bit social but it does make sense that the merging can be stronger that way or an ideal for complete fusion for sx-firsts. Sx/Sps probably lose themselves more deeply in their attractions and may take longer jumping back up but I have heard and seen some sx firsts get promiscuous or into serial relationships and it looks more like an ego thing, like proving their desirability or ability to attract or just craving fresh stimulation. I've also heard about the abstinent aspect though. I'm Sp last and don't really get into relationships in the first place to be serial dating but sp lasts doing that more makes sense since they may have more options and are more in tuned socially so more likely to get into relationships.
I also isolate myself for a very long time but I guess you guys probably do it less consciously, like it's a result of living in their own world and maybe recovering the pieces from losing themselves in your attractions? When I do, it's more hardcore. Like I disappear off the map.
I identify with both what you say here and the description. But it wasn't about relationship jumping ... I see sx/sp as a need for and commitment to someone you communicate deeply and intensely with. If I'm in such a relationship, I don't really need something else (e.g. variety or novelty). However I *can* be with a person I don't have this uber-energizing organic experience with, just that it kind of feels like only a third of my emotional potential is active and I view that "relationship" (interaction) as temporary/not ideal.
The bolded part - isolation for long periods before reemerging ... I don't know if it's really for long periods, but this is something that happens to me when I experience the dissolution of a relationship I was attached to (in a fully Sx way) or when I cannot be with someone I feel that connection with. I do experience that transformative force of the Sx instinct in those cases (regeneration, death through fire etc.) The worst thing of this kind happened when I couldn't be with a person because I was committed to another (and not only formally). So I wouldn't call this relationship jumping. Anyway of course I have also been single myself for specific periods ..what I meant is that in such a case I actively need someone I can communicate with and I do my best to come across such a person. I could hardly resign myself to the idea that this is not possible.

Very much so, yes.
I can't imagine sustaining a relationship like that for very long. If you can't be really engaged with someone you're seeing, then what's the point? Don't really think I could do the temporary relationship deal, it'd just be more of a hassle than it's worth without much payoff.
When my last relationship came to an end I basically hid myself away for years trying (and failing) to recover from it. Hell, when I was rejected by my last major romantic interest I put myself in emotional quarantine for at least a month before returning to normal.
But then what happens when you can't get that depth of communication for a long time? You just ... get used to it at a certain stage. You accept the internal disquietude for the time being and wait for the next target to strike down when the time is right.
I imagine that my situation is a bit of an exceptional circumstance, but I don't want to go into a diatribe about it, nor do I think anybody else would care to read.
I was thinking how sx/sp stacking can come across very contra-flow like, especially when coupled with some reactive enneagram type. All so lasts kinda do. So I think you can easily mistype someone on this impression.
I agree with the above claim. Mfckr (probably an 8w7) and even Korpsey Knievel could be easily used in defense of such a thesis.
this dude - Ralph Fiennes
I know some people like silke type him sx/so, but I think he's sx/sp .... maybe also coz he resembles my LSI-Ti E5 sx/sp ex a bit. I'm inclined to give him this type generally, although in pics like the second one he kinda melts into IEI lol.
sx/sp writing style
"But it was not the presents that made her wrap him up in her thighs. They were charming, of course (especially the jar of butterfly he let loose in her bedroom), but her real pleasure was the fact that he talked to her. They had genuine conversations. He did not speak down at her, nor content himself with puerile questions about life or monologues of his own activities. Thinking she was possibly brilliant, like his mother, he seemed to expect brilliance from her, and she delivered. (...)
As she rocked there, swayed there, like a Georgia pine on its knees, high above the slipping, falling smile, high above the golden eyes and the velvet helmet of hair, rocking, swaying, she focused her thoughts to bar the creeping disorder that was flooding her hips. (...) Letting her thoughts dwell on his face in order to confine, for just a while longer, the drift of her flesh toward the high silence of orgasm.
If I take a chamois and rub real hard on the bone, right on the ledge of your cheek bone, some of the black will disappear. It will flake away into the chamois and underneath there will be gold leaf. I can see it shining through the black. I know it is there ... (...)
And if I take a nail file or even Eva's old paring knife - that will do - and scrape away at the gold, it will fade away and there will be alabaster. The alabaster is what gives your face its planes, its curves. That is why your mouth smiling does not reach your eyes. Alabaster is giving it a gravity that resists a total smile. (..)
Then I can take a chisel and small tap hammer and tap away at the alabaster. It will crack then like ice under the pick, and through the breaks I will see the loam, fertile, free of pebbles and twigs. (...)
I will water your soil, keep it rich and moist. But how much? How much water to keep the loam moist? And how much loam will I need to keep my water still? And when do the two make mud?" (Toni Morrison, Sula)
sp/sx picture above ... Persephone myth, symbolism of the poppy flower, the soul held captive in death (Hades - earth/matter). but maybe there's some intense (sexual) energy or life force there and I can't sense it.
That is from the Sandman comic and there is a Sp/Sx element to this comic as well. But this is Dream Reborn, this is the reborn form of Dream, The Sandman. The incarnation of Morpheus is Sp/Sx and the new incarnation is imo Sx/Sp. Descending and ascending.
One of the motifs of the story is Morpheus entering hell in the beginning of the story and in a way he returns there to free someone later, but in so doing also dies. The whole entire comic is very much a interplay of Sp/Sx and Sx/Sp motifs.
There is many sx/sp element of this comic is Orpheus and Eurydice, going into hell and returning, but at the last moment losing Eurydice again. It is also Hades, but a different representation.

While I agree that there are sx/sp elements in the story of Orpheus and Eurydice, I cannot help signaling that a "comic" perspective on a relatively deep myth with a tragic epic line is doubtlessly a contra-flow one. But well, I think you're so/sp anyway, as you probably know. The phoenix picture you posted before beautifully contained the sx/sp core-energy.

since this is about sx/sp myths .....
adonis and aphrodite (this representation is not necessarily sx/sp, but I like the picture by george barbier)
The Sandman is written by Neil Gaiman, hardly just a "comic" writer. This is one of the greatest comics of all time along with Watchman/Dark Knight/Maus. He has various movies as well Coraline, Stardust, and more probably on the way. At the present time comics define popular media, as seen in the highest grossing movies and such. Comics are imo syn-flo, as they represent a sort of populism and human touching heart to literature. Many comic characters will last longer than Kerouac or any number of writers with accolades in the 20th century.
As far as my enneagram stacking, I am sx/sp, but as Avatar of THUNDER GOD, I am so/sp.
