The word “sapiosexual” is a neologism formed from sapiens (“intelligent”) in Latin, and it refers to a sexual attraction to intelligent people. A sapiosexual person is therefore a person who is attracted to someone based on their intelligence and not their physical appearance. It is their intelligence that excites them. According to sexologist Chantal Bachelet-Pruneau, intellect can be just as erotic as physical appearance. Being intelligent is sexy.

Being smart is sexy. Sapiosexuals, also known as sapiosexuals or sapiophiles, say they are attracted to intelligence more than appearance.
While most people want to have an intelligent partner, very few people are interested in physical appearance. Like the word serendipity, the word sapiosexual is a recent word. However, its scope of use differs. Sapiosexuality is one of the many names that are emerging today to designate a sexual orientation.
For a sapiosexual, the sexiest part of the body is the brain
From a psychological point of view, sapiosexuals are generally very free-spirited people, open to new experiences that can feed their curiosity, their imagination on specific subjects that fascinate them. Intelligence is less perishable than appearance. In addition, according to sociological and sexological studies, sapiosexuality would be linked to the search for security in the quest for a partner.

Indeed, a high culture and intelligence are very often and especially unconsciously attributed to a better professional and social success, and therefore to comfort in the future. Someone who appears intelligent is more apt for protection and procreation. Which affects more the feminine than the masculine functioning. “IQ is the new sexy”.
How do I know if I am a sapiosexual person?
In general, sapiosexuals like complex relationships, romantic debates, and nuances. They also like long and endless exchanges or even letters. In addition, they are attracted to older people, because they are technically too cultured for a younger person. You may also be naturally oriented towards people who practice certain professions or simply intellectuals. Physical appearance is not what attracts you to someone. Here are twelve signs that show that you are probably sapiosexual:
- (1) Intelligence and deep conversation inspire and excite you.
- (2) Degrees don’t matter. When looking for potential partners, intelligence is always at the top of your list.
- (3) You love to debate. If someone invites you to debate, you feel attracted to them on a deeper level. You discover in them a counterpart who will always open your eyes and who will not hesitate to use their knowledge to test or seduce you. You also don’t find these types of people stubborn or pretentious. You admire their enthusiasm and thirst for intelligent conversation.
- (4) Physical attraction is great, but intelligent and wise conversation is much better.
- (5) The more you get to know someone, the more attracted to them.
- (6) You hate small talk. Small talk is a nightmare, and you would rather sit in silence than have to respond to someone’s comments about the weather. You admire those who use their intelligence to move conversations forward, to develop ideas, and to ask questions that fuel discussion points.
- (7) Stupidity or bluntness is a huge turn-off to you. You can’t stand people who need to assert themselves through aggression or excessive gestures. You can’t stand men or women who are stupid and easily upset. You find it attractive when someone can handle difficult situations with composure and intelligence. You admire people who can rationalize their feelings and don’t explode or lose their temper when things go wrong.
- (8) You’d rather meet someone in a bookstore than in a bar.
- (9) You’re a good listener.
- (10) Bad grammar is one of your biggest turn-offs. Big spelling mistakes, or outrageous grammatical errors, can be a real eye-opener for anyone. But for a sapiosexual, there is no compromise! For example: “Oh, he doesn’t write very well, but he has many other qualities. And he is so handsome!” Such a nuance is unthinkable, because for a true sapiosexual, it’s immediately NEXT.
- (11) It’s not just a question of literary intelligence for you. You also find emotional intelligence and self-awareness incredibly sexy.
- (12) You are always looking to learn.
If you’re still naturally oriented towards intellectuals, and their physical appearance isn’t what primarily attracts you to them, you’re probably a sapiosexual woman or girl or a sapiosexual man.
When a sapiosexual person is with an intelligent person they are always like “teach me something new”
For a true sapiosexual or sapiophile, attraction OBLIGATORILY comes through intelligence. The rest comes after!
A book club, a debate evening, a conference on a topic that interests you, an association, a meeting group on your passion, workshops related to an activity that you love, etc. So many events during which you will inevitably meet some interesting people… And more if you like!
Be careful, because it is not uncommon for people attracted to someone’s intelligence to end up worshipping them, even triggering an emotional dependency that is difficult to break free of.
