IS SEX DIFFERENT FOR INTELLECTUALS?

ASK ME ANYTHING

Q Linn, is sex different for intellectuals? If so, how? Is there any restriction on number of sex partners for a person? Does intellect demand less number of friends and longer relationships? I like to know. Cheers! – GE

Ohh, so many questions! Well, let’s start with the first one: Is sex different for intellectuals? I have no facts or figures to support this answer, but no. It is not different for intellectuals. I do, however, believe that some people enjoy taking sex to a higher level of awareness. When it involves all the senses, rather than just being a physical act, the pleasure is more intense. A meeting of minds and bodies, tastes and textures, sounds, smells, and feelings. Why settle for the complimentary bowl of peanuts when you can have anything – or everything – on the menu?

I don’t think intellect in itself  puts any demands on the number of friends, sex partners or longer relationships you can have. In fact, I wonder if it’s possible that intellect may make the case for polyamory stronger? For me, the main thing is honesty. I have several lovers and they know that I neither offer, nor ask for, exclusive rights. I love them all dearly, but I am not in love with them.

If, for some reason, I were to commit to a permanent relationship, I think it would have to include sex with other people in some form. Preferably as a joint venture. I’d like to think it would keep stagnation at bay and enrich our relationship. But more than anything, I can’t see a good reason to promise physical fidelity. I want spiritual loyalty. I want honesty and integrity from someone who is protective of me and wants to keep me safe. 

If my partner enjoys physical pleasure with someone else, that does not harm me in any way. It does not lessen their love for me. Spiritual infidelity, on the other hand – now that would cut deep. Throw me under the bus and all bets are off. And so am I.  

Does intellect demand less number of friends and longer relationships? Absolutely not. Intellect makes no such demands on us. 

Hope that helps, G.

ABOUT LINN

Linn is a Swedish sex kitten whose curiosity led her to attend a sex party on the bdsm, kink and swinging scene in London. Soon after, she found herself in charge of a number of forums, discussion groups and websites dedicated to the promotion of a safe playground for sociable sex larpers.

A diva of delight, Linn can exude a sex appeal that is off the charts. Like Freya, the goddess of love and beauty, she loves to indulge in physical sensations and anything that involves more than two senses. She is a typical Libra and may come across as cool, calm, or even aloof, but once relaxed she is incredibly playful, passionate and romantic. Though she’d never admit the latter!

Linn loves storytelling, music, Life, crafting and chocolate, and she is particularly partial to mental fireworks. She needs a lover who can make her think less and feel more, but only the brave need apply.
