People in monogamous relationships often see their social networks shrink both because they have less time to spend with their friends but also because jealousy reduces the freedom they have to spend time with opposite sex friends or in places where they could meet other people who might threaten their relationship

I’ve been in both monogamous, open and polyamorous relationships throughout my life. I’ve always tried to make relationships that will work well for me where I am in life. I never saw every person I dated as a serious romantic possibility or thought that being in a serious relationship was necessary to spend time with someone.

A sapiosexual is unarguably a sexual person, but needs the intellectual stimulation to enhance or drive their sexuality (the partner’s appearance / physical attraction is very secondary here)

Keywords: research, intimacy, emotion, terminology, sapiosexual

“duh, of course you are sapiosexual you brainiac fool!” Yet she also took this thing full circle in her typically intellectual way saying (and I am paraphrasing) “what difference does it make how you define it if you can connect, grow, and bond with the people that matter most?”

Well played and very true, but that takes all the fun out of over-analyzing all of this as a matter of intellectual sexual stimulation! 😜
