What is sapieosexual?

Sapiosexual refers to a person who is sexually attracted to intelligence or intellect. This attraction goes beyond the physical appearance and tends to focus on the ability to engage in stimulating intellectual conversations. Sapiosexual individuals get aroused by the intellect of others and find intellectual stimulation to be more intimate and meaningful than any physical trait. They feel a special connection with those who can challenge their mind and stimulate their intellect. The term "sapiosexual" was coined in 1998 by the author Jillian Sternberg to describe her personal attraction to intelligence and intellectual conversation.
