According to Merriam-webster, Sapiosexual is a hybrid word, that is, a word made up of parts of other words, typically from Latin or Greek. Often these words are recent coinages despite their classical lineage. Sapio- comes from the Latin verb sapere, meaning “to be wise” or “to have sense.” It is also the root of such English words as sage, savant, savvy, and, most transparently, sapient, a fancy word for “wise.” It’s visible as well in the common Latin name for the human species, Homo sapiens.
This simply put, means, a sapiosexual is a person who finds intelligence sexually attractive or arousing. Since they have special requirements, there are unique ways you can turn them on.
With all these in mind, these are the ways you can turn on a sapiosexual partner:
1. Be passionate
While passion can easily be assumed to be one of a sexual nature, in this case, you will require much more than that. What are your interests and how passionate are you about your job? Have you ever heard the statement “I love a man/woman in uniform”? Well, that also applies to sapiosexuals of both sexes. Sapiosexuals love a partner in uniform and generally a partner that has a skill or is excellent at their job. There is something about the taboo of sexual relations in the workplace that is appealing to most sapiosexuals hence the thought of that alone is enough to whet their appetites. So don’t be afraid to show your more technical or academic side to get what you want. It could be the deciding factor to turning them on.
2. Show intelligence
It may seem obvious to the subject matter but trust me, the importance of intelligence cannot be over-emphasized because it is completely integral to the subject matter. From your initial conversation, a sapiosexual, be they male or female, can already tell your level of intelligence and exposure. Imagine you are both having a conversation at a bar and something comes on the television and your commentary on the issue is completely devoid of any logic or awareness, that can be a major turn off and if it continues throughout the conversation, then you are never going to get beyond drinks. Intelligence is sexy, and may just be the key to getting down with the sapiosexual person of your dreams. So next time you come across the national geographic channel, any news outlet/documentary channel, even just a book on any topic, then sit back and learn a thing or two.
3. Shared interests:
Turning on a sapiosexual may require sharing what makes them happy. For example, a sapiosexual might prefer to stay indoors instead of going out just to read a book. Well, if you are interested in turning them on, you might have to consider sharing this particular activity with them. You might feel that this is not necessary or it is abnormal, but for a sapiosexual, this is important. This is their world.
This might come across as odd or abnormal but for sapiosexuals, this is the engagement that makes them happy. Just like people with other forms of sexuality, there is always a kink, an interest, or an activity that makes them happy. And when you make them happy it makes it easier to turn them on.
You should expect that they are activities, and interests are always, or usually going to be centered around academic activities. So if you are willing to share these interests with them, it takes you one step further to turning them on and having a good time with them.
4. Manner of speaking:
In order to communicate effectively with a sapiosexual, there is a way that you will speak that may not be part of the norm.
For example, instead of saying, what's up? You can say, how are you doing? Instead of saying “you up?”, you can say “Are you up?”. Little things like this are things that make a sapiosexual partner more attracted to you, and when they are more attracted to you, it makes it easier to turn them on.
5. Leisure activities:
What you do in your free time with your sapiosexual partner, can go a long way in turning on your partner. For example, instead of just going out for drinks, you guys should play Scrabble or play chess, and you'll be surprised how much turned on they will be during the process of this game. It works this way because these games are games that test your intellect. So, it should be no surprise that playing a game of scrabble, or a game of chess will make your partner turned on.
6. Date night:
Regular activity during date night is to watch romantic movies or romantic comedies. Well, you get the point, romantic movies, which are mostly going to be mainstream. But for your sapiosexual partner, you might have to consider watching documentaries. It may seem weird but for a sapiosexual watching educative content can really go far in turning them on. So if you want to turn on your supply sexual partner, you might have to consider watching Nat Geo Channel instead of watching a mainstream romantic movie which won't do much for them.
7. Speak intelligently:
When having conversations with your sapiosexual partner, it might actually help when you use big words instead of regular words. These can go a long way in turning them on. This is not only useful while having the conversation but it's might be useful while having sexual relations with your partner. Instead of talking dirty, talk big, talk intelligently and watch them turn on extraordinarily.
8. Have reading time:
Having a time with your partner, where you both read to each other can help turn your partner on. Reading from books, using big words while reading, and reading in a slow but sexy tone will help turn your partner on. Pronounce each word with passion. Let Love flow through every word you read from the book.
