danielle commented on the word sapiosexuality
i'm not even if this word is "real" by conventional standards, but it basically is supposed to describe a person's condition of being really turned on by someone else who is intelligent, or their intelligence in and of itself.
(Origins: From the Latin root sapien, wise or intelligent, and Latin sexualis, relating to the sexes.)
