  • Not necessarily. Sexual deviant criminals are most likely not to be that smart.

  • Probably, because the the biggest human sexual organ is the brain!

  • Let's just say exploring oneself whether it be vanilla, kinky and/or taboo 😇

  • Maybe we are more creative? Or more in tune with the reality of our deviances? Honestly almost everyone has some kind of kink

  • Curosity and openmindedness are both positively correlated with intelligence, and religiousity is negatively correlated, so yes - I think highly intelligent people are more prone to sexual "adventures". I would not call these "deviances".

    • I agree about them being more adventurous but why would you avoid using the word “deviances”? Is it too negative word? Many people are adventurous, I wonder if the higher someone’s intelligence is the broader and more unusual their taste is for what they find sexually adventurous.

    • Deviance is often a synonym for "abnormal". Intelligence is also often highly correlated with novelty-seeking.

    • Most helpful opinion. 🏆

  • I honestly don't see the correlation

  • may not be.

  • To a degree

  • Well, a lot of times it's circumstantial rather than personality type. Most highly intelligent persons are academics in different fields. Now academia is very time-consuming and the hardest of all jobs. It's like a 24-hour job for a longer period of your life which require studying your whole life. That mentally exhausts a lot of people.

    Secondly, academics stay longer in school and are very poorly paid compared to other jobs and ages. Dating is also a social competition and in the world outside academia, money and time are the most important factor for getting sex/relationships. So even if you want, your chances are low. Then again a lot of people will consider you boring or intimidating, and there's general hate against intelligence.

    So as you grow up with all of this, eventually you may lose interest in other persons/sex/relationships.

  • No. I believe people with serious wealth and power are. Rules are for little people
