So pansexuality and asexuality are totally not words right?
Asexuals enjoy romance and don't care about sex(erotic relations) , gender, etc.
Pansexuals are kind of like bisexuals but more of "Hey! We're pretty common and may or may not be defined by the basic gender roles in both mind and/or body"

So people are using a word that's not real... That's the way words are created.
Thank God you weren't living in the 15th century cause you would be sending Shakespeare more hatemail than EA over SimCity..

Attracted to. dosn't mean the only thing. and dosn't mean you would. Bi sexual. i could be hetero AND sapio

oh dear lord. It's still a sexuality. Bisexuality is the attraction to both men and women. Heterosexuality is the attraction to the opposite sex. Homosexuality is the attraction to the same sex. The definition of all sexuality has the word 'attracted' to. That's how the english language works. If it has blahblahsexual, that means there attracted to the blahblah. For example, robosexual. Means someone is attracted to robots. same word, ATTRACTED. Now, for example, we have the word HeteroSEXUAL. That doesn't mean "oh well he's ATTRACTED to women, but hey, he'll bang a dude every now and then" NO. Do you get what I mean? Because the dumb asses below obviously do not. And also, if you can't tell, my jimmies are rustled

I'd bang a dude for money. hell alot of gay porn stars are hetero and married with children. it's great money. does that make me homo? no? am i attracted to them? no?

and bisexual means 2 sexualitys. nobody has to say what those two are. BI doens mean men and women it means bi. two. bicycle?. doesnt mean men and woman cycle.
it gets it's name from 2 wheels

Hetero. and homo. 2

Hetero and robo. 2

just because it's most COMMONLY used to identify someone who is hetero and homo dosn't mean that's ALL that it can

gay means happy. yet people most commonly take it's Homosexual meaning

Congrats. Words changed and become or get removed as "words" based on COMMON opinion.

Again. Bisexual is COMMONLY referred to as man and woman. so obviously if LOL and OMG are being added to the dictionary as words. and "gay" has it's definition changed to homosexual rather than Happy. Bisexual under common knoledge will be refered to as Man and women. but if you look at the root of the word bisexual it means BI as in 2 and Sexual as in sexuality. Two sexualitys

Are you REEEEEEALY that dense?

Nw you're arguing against something that was besides the point.
You changed topic and I'm the dense one?

Changing the subject?

"Attracted to. dosn't mean the only thing. and dosn't mean you would. Bi sexual. i could be hetero AND sapio"

that was my point. my last statement is proving that bisexuality can mean a variety of different things stating alternate sources for contrast and comparisons. and that the root of words means something other than what the comman man actually think it means.

i'm done with your ignorance

You did everything except say that. All you did was say that they put lol omg in the oxford dictionary and say that gay has multiple meanings.
And I'm the ignorant one?

Greek godess Athena would bless those whos minds have attracted her and charmed her with a child who was not born of flesh but of though. in essence ya it kinda can work like that, except probably not getting shagged by a godess or somethin

That's like saying that someone who likes big boobs is only ever interested in boobs and would bang a huge obese deformed monstrosity as long as it had a good rack. Having a fetish doesn't mean you'd waive all other concerns in choosing a partner as long as it satisfied said fetish.

exactly my point good sir

What? I'm disagreeing with you. Sapiosexual isn't an accepted word in Websters or Oxford, but your point as you explained it is "someone who finds intelligence attractive would AUTOMATICALLY rather have sex with Steven Hawking than a Playboy model." Which is false. I'm sure there are people like that who exist, but... hell, my girlfriend is pretty damn smart and I find that hot as fuck, but I'd still rather have her than some theoretical physicist who (mentally) makes her look like a goldfish. Once again, fetishes aren't necessarily exclusive and overriding of all other concerns when choosing a mate. It's possible to be aroused by something and yet have other factors negate it.

you misunderstood this made up words meaning. It wasn't described as a fetish. It was described as a sexuality. NOT A FETISH. So you just went further into proving my point. As a fetish it makes sense which is why I agreed, and I thought you understood the content and my comment. It's a simple misunderstanding you took, no biggie.

Alright. Although the image actually calls it a "behavior." The content refers to it as "phenomena." My understanding was that that was implying it to be a fetish, yours was that of an entire sexuality. However, the image itself does not directly state either.

Aw, fuck it. This is not a topic worth arguing over. I'm going to bed.

it...it even fucking says Sexuality. Sapiosexuality...that means its a sexuality. Just like Heterosexuality or homosexuality. What is Heterosexuality? The ATTRACTION to the opposite sex. What's Homosexuality? The ATTRACTION to the same sex. That's what a sexuality is. Robosexuality, the ATTRACTION to robots. All that shit. It even says sexuality in the name. Therefore, it's a sexuality.

Read it again. It says sapiosexual. And it's a nonexistent word! \

Jowiman, in the comment you define as "just being a smart-ass," is absolutely correct. I think you might be a bit of an idiot. You're dogmatically declaring the word as something it isn't (it DOES NOT say "sexualITY") and also reading a lot into the common meaning for its roots (which you've misread) where the definition is plainly given. Fake definition, sure, but it's a definition all the same.

But like I said. It's not worth debating over. You're not going to listen to me and I've got better things to do than argue how the English language works to someone who can't even be bothered to read the goddamn image properly.

What you're implying is that a sexuality assumes a person only cares about one specific factor in a mate, which is false. In every sexuality, there are multiple factors that a person looks for in a desired mate, but one factor is the most important. It could be gender that is most important; but in this word's case, it seems intelligence is the most important. That's not to say intelligence is the ONLY thing a person would look for in a mate, it's just that it is the most important factor.

the definition given in OP's pic was that you're attracted to or aroused by intelligence, not that it's a sexuality rather than a fetish. you can be atrracted to or aroused by multiple things...

Exactly! It's the definition of a sexuality. It's even in the god damn name! how are you people not getting this!? Heterosexuality: being attracted to the opposite sex. Homosexuality: being attracted to the same sex. 'Sapiosexuality':being attracted to smarts. It's a sexuality. Jesus christ

just because it has "-sexual" in the word doesn't necessarily limit the meaning to someone who is ONLY attracted to intelligence. a) the english language is a huge prick face b) it's not even a word so fuck logic

no no, it doesn't say sexual. It says sexuality. Therefore, in the ENGLISH language, it is a sexuality.

sorry, where did it say sexuality? i might be going blind, but i don't think so...

since there's a definition give, you can't really assume any more meaning from the word... if you made a word, you could call it flyingpuppysexual and define it as "v. listening to rock music while eating icecream" and i couldn't (or, shouldn't ) come along and imply that people who like to flyingpuppysexual would have intimate sex with an obese, deformed, or scarred human...

Dude, you're just being a smart ass now. "wwweeeeelll just because it says sapiosexual doesn't mean its a sexuality" just...just stop. I'm done.

I just read through this entire thread and there's so much stupid I think I might have an anyurism right about now.

do you mean that as an insult to me?

No. You were correct. They all made stupid illogical arguments.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. And I am being serious. I was surrounded by twats.

One guy tried to argue with me saying that because they were putting two new words into the oxford dictionary and because gay has two meanings that bisexual had some other meaning other than what the dictionary said.
It didn't make much sense.

of course i'm being a smartass. doesn't make your assumption more valid.

" Brainy is the new sexy "
or something along those sexy curvy lines

......
it's shallow to be attracted to something?

apparently if it's good looks, yes.

I am also a Sapiosexual, may I request the highest of fives?

ill show you a 2/3rds vote.....sorry

that's so hot

dont do it dont do it dont do it...

shut up, meg
