'''Sapiosexual''', also known as '''Scisexual''' or '''Cognisexual''', can be defined as when one only experiences sexual attraction to individuals they experience [[Mental Attraction|mental attraction]] to, intellectually bond with, are inspired by, or admire for their unique intellectual beauty. In this case, it may be considered a subset of [[Mesi Asexual|mesi asexual]], [[aliquasexual]], [[demisexual]], and [[apressexual]].
Sapiosexuality can also describe being attracted to the mind, irrespective of gender. This is similar to [[Pansexual|pansexuality]], but in this case, one specifically finds intelligence or intellectual beauty to be the main source of attraction.
Line 13:
The definition has since been repeatedly altered and improved upon as to make it less exclusionary, classist, and problematic.
Scisexual and cognisexual were coined as alternative terms by wiki user Wemrotung on July 15, 2021. ''Sci-'' means "to know" and ''cogni-'' means "to know; to learn." These words are intended to only be used as an alternative to sapiosexual in the context of its ''new'' definitions, not its original definition. Scisexual and cognisexual are not to be used in a way that promotes classism, elitism, ableism, exclusionism, or other harmful ideas.
