Who exposed these Erotic Attitudes?

A Ukrainian by the name of Victor Gulenko, an INTj and author of several books on socionics. He studies problems of "type masks", subtypes, small groups, application of personality typology in business, family consulting and education.

What in a nutshell are Erotic Attitudes?

In essence they are four different attitudes that can describe a person's selfish (sexual) desires and expectations from their interactions with others. The general trend for these attitudes would seem like the conflict or duality between adult (either patronizing or assertive) and inner-child (either rebellious or resistant).

As with most small groups it can further assist in type identification and verification.

The Matrix of Gulenko's Erotic Attitudes:

CAREFUL

The Patronizing Types

ESTj "Director" ISTp "Craftsman"
ESFj "Enthusiast" ISFp "Mediator"
  • Views other people in a caring and sometimes arrogant way resembling a kind of "parent figure" where everyone else needs their attention and should listen to their advice.
  • Interacts like a non-aggressive control-freak, usually in a caring way expecting others to accept their care without rebellion.
  • Doesn't like showing signs of aggression in themselves especially when others reject their care, thus producing frustration.
  • Usually takes a "patronizing" tone with others thus readily seen to have an "I know what's best for you (like your parent)…" attitude.

INFANTILE

The Rebellious Types

ENTp "Searcher" INTj "Analyst"
ENFp "Psychologist" INFj "Humanist"
  • Has lots of needs and can seem selfish (like a child) expecting others to totally adapt to this behaviour.
  • Can seem openly needy for loving and care though appear openly rebellious against care preferring the "right" kind of attention instead.
  • Doesn't want the partner to directly control them though would rather have loose "boundaries" to act within.
  • Hates signs of aggression or indifferency in others thus usually comes across as having an "I want your friendship (if you expect my attention)…" attitude.

AGGRESSOR

The Assertive Types

ESTp "Marshal" ISTj "Inspector"
ESFp "Ambassador" ISFj "Guardian"
  • Views others in an openly arrogant and aggressive way expecting complete mental submission.
  • Can have a very victim-like look using indirect methods to control others and turning aggressive when they refuse to submit.
  • Hates signs of weakness in themself thus interacts like a bossy control-freak.
  • Usually takes an insistent tone towards others thus presenting with an "I am in control (like your supervisor)…" attitude.

VICTIM

The Resistant Types

ENTj "Pioneer" INTp "Critic"
ENFj "Actor" INFp "Romantic"
  • Can project either a submissive or arrogant view of themselves.
  • The submissive version never questions the partner's control though expects them to "show the way" with the relationship.
  • The arrogant version looks aggressive and always challenges people in order to find someone who acts stronger than them self.
  • Hates signs of weakness in others thus presents with an "I want you to control me (if you can)…" attitude.

Compatibilities between these Erotic Attitudes:

High Complementary…

  • The CAREFUL types find the INFANTILE types most ideal for receiving their parental-like care and advice whilst the INFANTILE types for the most part enjoy having their selfish "look after me" needs met by the CAREFUL types.
  • The AGGRESSOR types find the VICTIM types most ideal for accepting their programming and control-attempts whilst the VICTIM types for the most part enjoy having their selfish "see if you can tame me" needs met by the AGGRESSOR types.

Average Complementary…

  • The CAREFUL types find the VICTIM types least ideal for receiving their parental-like care and advice whilst the VICTIM types for the most part shun their attempts to nurture them since they don't appear aggressive enough.
  • The AGGRESSOR types find the INFANTILE types least ideal for accepting their programming and control-attempts whilst the INFANTILE types for the most part shun their attempts to dominate them since they don't appear companionable enough.

Poor Complementary…

  • The CAREFUL types find the AGGRESSOR types most unsatisfying for receiving their parental-like care and advice whilst the AGGRESSOR types for the most part get frustrated by there attempts to nurture them since it makes them feel like "victim" types.
  • The INFANTILE types find the VICTIM types most unsatisfying for having their "look after me" needs met whilst the VICTIM types for the most part get disappointed by their attempts to act companionable since they don't appear to dominate enough.

Any IDENTICAL types would likely find the other interesting at first as someone they can automatically appreciate although for the most part will lead to unmet expectations since each partner doesn't fufill the other's needs although they can still enjoy each other's company.
