Of course, many people seek an intellectual connection with their partners. But people who identify as sapiosexual often say intellect is the first or most important factor that draws them to another person ... they must have it.

The New York Times Bestselling author, Eric Jerome Dickey, in his 2016 novel The Blackbirds uses the line: I'm a sapiosexual and love the 'Big Bang' way he talks nerdy to me. The focus in this instance is more on the content of one’s mind and less on the physical.

The point that is being made is that a sapiosexual person wants to have a good relationship with someone who has an incisive, inquisitive, insightful, irreverent mind. The person wants someone for whom philosophical discussion is foreplay. He or she wants someone who sometimes makes them go mad due to the other person's wit and/or evil sense of humor. The sapiosexual individual wants someone that can be reached and touched when their mind is in play.
