PSYCHOLOGY TODAY: SAPIOSEXUALITY - by Diana Raab, PHD

Missy here!  I find this article to be so very interesting as the author attempts to define herself as someone who falls for the intellect of another person.

EXCERPTS:  Some people are attracted to physical appearance, others to status or an individual's personality, whether it is charismatic, friendly, kind, thoughtful, or even brilliant. ... Those who admit to being sapiosexual will say that they are turned on by the brain, and tend to be teased or excited by the insights or another person.  This means the person whom you are attracted to might have a tendency to have an incisive, inquisitive, or irreverent mind.  As foreplay, the sapiosexual person may crave philosophical, political, or psychological discussions, because this turns them on ... Sometimes, sapiosexual individuals have also been called "nymphobrainiacs." or individuals who find it arrousing to engage with the intellectual perspective of another person. ... Librarians, teachers, professors, and others associated with learning institutions are often targets of saposexual persons.
