Sapiosexuals Come Chat About Whatever Floats Your Boat

[haremfaery]

I've been running across a lot of fellow sapiosexuals on Lit lately. I thought we needed a place to share our love of intelligent conversation. Feel free to share poems, links, discuss movies, sex, books...

Introduce yourself and let's get started.

This isn't the place! Trust me.

edited... had to look up Sapiosexuals.

Might get past without the usual degree of abuse the GB dishes out.

I've never been described as good looking. I get by on my mind (read a lot) and sense of humour.

I have noticed a lot of people adding that word to their profile after they Google it. I will freely admit that that particular word was not in my working vernacular. I tend to prefer clever women. I find it hard to believe that anyone prefers a dull partner.

This thread is intertestng in juxtaposition to the bimbo thread.

I'm a writer (as yet unpublished). A friend recommended that I check out Lit since I was having trouble writing sex scenes. I became active on the roleplaying forum to practice. It helps me with plot ideas and characters. I can see what works and what doesn't. Getting turned on by writing with an accomplished cowriter helps me up my game as well.

I am also a professional editor and proofreader. And a professional bellydancer. I used to be a librarian (complete with glasses and my hair in a bun). Now I'm an office manager.

I am currently learning the Argentinian Tango.

I was an English Lit major in college. I love to read and usually have multiple books going on at the same time. I just finished The Girl on the Train and was underwhelmed. I'm currently reading Seabiscuit. One of the best nonfiction/biography books I've ever read. I learned a few things about horses from it that will help me in my novel since the characters will be on horseback for some of their adventures. I have tried and tried to read 50 Shades of Grey (I have never been able to get past page 23). There are so many things wrong with it, that the editor in me can't waste time on it unless I was getting paid to fix it. I had to reread Little Birds by Anais Nin to get the bad taste out of my mouth.

I still have not got through all the classic stuff that makes up Eng Lit 101. Got an app from the Windows Store with over 10,000 public domain classics.

Kipling is my favourite author. Winston Churchill is quite good too. Stephen Leacock is fabulous. Funny as hell.

I'm a ditch digger that reads Marcus Aurelius on his lunch break.

I love words and discovered "sapiosexual" a few years a go and said, hey, that's me! It has come up in conversation on Lit quite a few times over the past few days and someone suggested I start a thread for it/us.

I dunno. I'm on a few dating sites and there are a lot of intellectually boring people out there. They don't read. They don't want to have meaningful discussions about anything. They certainly don't seem interested in my mind even though they say they want a long-term relationship. I keep tweaking my profile to weed them out. I'm meeting many more interesting men now.

If I can't have an interesting conversation with a man, good looks won't help.

 

[Ms_Ann]

I think monkeys are cute but that's about as far as it goes.

OMG, I love that

Shakespeare is probably my all-time favorite. Lately, I've been reading a lot of fantasy and researching the ancient Celts and their myths and legends for my novel.

Hmmm there is a term I wasn't aware of... Sometimes Google is your friend..

If they don't have at least one wall of bookshelves per room ...

oh god you really are that much of a pompous twat.

Be sapio over sex all you desire and it's all good, but...if you really wanna make it 100% with your other or others, you gonna have to get down to the doing the nitty gritty.

That consists of feels, smells, tastes, all that. Goes right along with thoughts and words. Sex ain't meant to be tidy or neat or pleasantly arranged, it's entropic and it gets messy. You might fart or shit or piss or bleed in the bed when having sex and you're gonna deal with that directly, sapio-based or no.

Part of the enjoyment of fucking your love/lust person is losing your better mind for a few heartbeats while you're inside of getting that nut. Try telling your mind to be sapio when you're curling your toes and feeling those emissions shooting through your nethers like a runaway freight train.

I am all about the anoesis in bed. But discovering someone's beautiful mind is foreplay for me. Smarts are a turn on. I need to feel a connection between minds before I move on to the physical. No one ever said we were being intellectual in bed.

Well, nobody wants to fuck a stupid person. At least I hope not! I mean, even if you wanted to scratch an itch with basic noodniks, there's no actual honor in claiming that medal. But that's not really what I mean to get across.

What I hate to see happen is people using "sapio" in order to be that little bit extra without having been asked for it. The very definition of our progressive, honest and healthy sexualities should include the sapio without having to present it like a business card meme signifier. If someone I'm vibing with face-to-face asks me what my sexuality slant or bent is because they wanna get with me under the blankets and wanna make sure if I'm straight, gay, bi, poly, ace, etc...I'm not gonna say "sapio" as an answer, y'see?

Even here, in Literotica...in using that moniker, we're already hoping people come with the literate along with the erotica. That's pounds upon pounds of sapio built in as a qualifier!

I've gotten into some of The Bard. Lots of his stuff is very short. You can knock off a Henry in very short time.

I like biographies. Mainly of military guys, Wellington, Bonaparte.

The Romans have some good stuff. Cicero on Friendship.

History is great stuff. I read Wikipedia for the fun of it. I like following the links and see where they go.

Got through my convalescing from a major heart attack by reading History of the World. This thing is a tome. Could not lift that much weight for the first few weeks. Spent my quiet time at the kitchen table reading it.

Movies and fiction can't come up with half the violence, perversions, plots and characters that history has produced.

Even us dumbasses need love too.

You should probably stick with office management.

Anais nin left a bad taste in your mouth...that line has potential.

Telling someone you are a sapiosexual seems incredibly pretentious to me.

It's like saying "I'm too clever to fuck the likes of you!"

 

[RoryN]

Identifying oneself as primarily sexually attracted to intelligence is cool.

Describing it as a sexual orientation seems pretentious and trendy. What's the need to go that far?

 

[Pookie]

If I split a genius's skull open and took what's left of their big beautiful brain and rubbed it on my clit, would I qualify as sapiosexual?

For me, it's a flag that she's not very bright but read somewhere that her next husband should be smart, because smart men make more money.

I have many leather bound books, a penchant for intelligent women with untraditionally beautiful features and a deep deep abyssal hatred of 'hipster mocha latte culture'.
I havnt googled it although im picturing brownish/burnished sexual images??(Sapiosexual).
