    Am I the only person who is sexually aroused by somebody's intellect? Also once emotional feelings set in for me I realize that a sexual attraction often sets in even if it was not initially there. I'd like to hear other opinions on this. Does anyone feel opposite of this? I'm just curious to hear.

    I've certainly heard of people who are attracted to intelligence before. It's kind of a stereotype of 'nerd love', actually.

    I tease my guy about "dropping panties" when he's being really geeky smart, so nope, you're not alone.

    There's some bogus label for people attracted to intelligent people, but... it's pretty common, actually. You're far from alone. :slight_smile:
