What is sapiasexual?

Sapiasexual is a relatively new term in the spectrum of sexual identities. It refers to individuals who are sexually attracted to intelligence or a person's mind rather than their physical appearance or gender. Sapiasexuals are less interested in physical characteristics and more interested in the intellectual qualities of a person, such as their wit, humor, intelligence, and creativity. They may choose to engage in relationships with individuals who can inspire them to learn and grow mentally. Sapiasexuals are often described as sapiosexuals, but the term "sapiasexual" is sometimes preferred due to the Latin root "sapiens" meaning wisdom. Despite being a relatively new term, it has gained widespread usage in online spaces and communities.
