Has anybody been sexually attracted to a person just because of their philosophical expressions and dialogues?
I know that in Ancient Greece this was a societal norm (i.e. the descriptions of Greece through Plato), but has anybody ever experienced this?
Just wondering… 😆😆😆

Absolutely! Intelligent, rational expression of creative thoughts, passionate beliefs and out-of-the-square musings can be very sexy. 😉

Not in the sense that you mean. My guy’s philosophy is not about Higher intelligence but, more of the hedonist variety… 😆

Um, Kris - you very well know that hedonism and higher intelligence are not mutually exclusive.
I have a new girlfriend. We have pretty much been on a hedonistic binge. Which I would like to continue for a while. Quite a while. I haven’t noticed any drop in intelligence on the part of either of us. Could this be because I am just getting too dumb to notice?

I lost my virginity to a girl very much into philosophy. Thing is, she wasn’t even that attractive, yet I don’t think I would have been half as comfortable doing it with someone else.

😆 True. I just meant that his hedonistic philosophies are attractive over his academic ones. There is nothing unintelligent about it. That man … Oh wait yea this is a family site, never mind… :-" :-"

…but I only speak the truth - I cannot be held responsible for the effect that has on others. 😉

Fear not, Kris. I knew where you were going with this. You don’t have to say it.

Oh, I dunno… perhaps the thought of an octopus-like creature trying to have it’s way with me just doesn’t make me get all hot-n-bothered! 😒
😆
Now a hot and intelligent human male, is another story altogether 😉 four limbs being a prerequisite/taken as standard… 🕶
What is it with intelligent males, and alien sex? Anthem… (scratches head)

I dunno…I’m thinking of trying to turn all threads into alien sex now…
Would that qualify as a gimmick?
