What is sapiosexuality?

from Do you really know? · host Bababam

What are you most attracted to when looking for someone to date? Social status? A sense of humour? Good looks? Those are all positive traits for sure, but for sapioseuxals there’s one quality which trumps all others, and that’s intelligence. The word comes from the Latin word “sapien”, which means wise. Sapiosexuals don’t fall in love at first sight or even through an emotional spark. Rather, they seduce one another through long and complex discussions. Their partners may well have a successful career and financial stability too, but it’s the intelligence which really counts most. The brain has to be stimulated on an intellectual level before a sapiosexual would even consider the thought of physical intimacy. It’s nothing new being attracted to someone who’s intelligent, is it? Is sapiosexuality a sexual orientation in its own right? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
