What is sapiosexuality? Thanks for asking!


What are you most attracted to when looking for someone to date? Social status? A sense of humour? Good looks? Well, 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.


Well it’s nothing new being attracted to someone who’s intelligent, is it? Is it a sexual orientation in its own right? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
