Sapiosexuality

Sapiosexuality refers to sexual attraction toward people that is primarily triggered by their intellect, thinking, or mental presence. For some people, intellectual exchange matters more than physical appearance or other factors. The term is often used as a self-description to express a personal preference or a particular pattern of attraction.

Depending on the person, sapiosexuality can be understood in different ways. Some use it to mean a strong preference for intellect, while others place it on the asexual spectrum when sexual attraction arises mainly or only in the presence of an intellectual connection. It is important not to treat the term as a fixed diagnosis, but as an individual description of attraction.
