So the example you presented ( but let's say a sapiosexual likes women. It occurred to me that being demisexual and being sapiosexual might be related They seem to complement each other as someone has to get to know another person in order to figure out if that person is intelligent So do others think they overlap Sapiosexual is someone who finds intelligenc. Sapiosexual is a selfcoined term, (for example, i googled sapio and here it is a security company.) using just quick latin translation
If you want to do the same, do as i did Just find the latin or greek word (or just something that sound like it) and add sexual. Demisexual and sapiosexual both typically fall under the graysexual umbrella Graysexual means that a person rarely experiences sexual attraction and/or only experiences sexual attraction under specific conditions It's a very broad umbrella and basically covers anything that isn't fully asexual but, for whatever reason, a person sees as making them distinctly less sexual So, i don't know how i feel about the term sapiosexuality in the first place
It sounds legit because sapio does mean wise in latin but it also kind of do. I heard of the term sapiosexual in the context that it is sexual attraction to intelligence Wouldn't that be a palindrome I mean, have you ever heard of someone being attracted to someone else because he/she's dumb Of course intelligence is sexy No need to specify it.
Odd question, but do sapiosexuals find ability at specific things attractive or usually just some notion of iq Personally, and i'm not sure if i consider myself at all asexual (i read the appalling slang word for people that that would include me, insofar as i just rarely meet anyone i'd lik. Wondering if those of you who identify as sapiosexual ever suffer from this Being unable to engage in a extensive intellectual discussion with someone( whoever, however) for extended periods of time forming a type of sexual/emotional knot You might say if feels a lot like sexual neglect/depriva. Sapiosexual is not an orientation (it has nothing to do with which sex/gender you find attractive)
Sapiosexual is a thing, but i wouldn't call it an orientation It's more a quality that attracts you to someone If you were initially attracted to your bf, what changed that, aside from an autism diagnosis People who are autistic can be very intelligent, they just have trouble with social cues
