Kinky folk are smart.

I've read several research articles that hypothesize that people who are into alternative sex lifestyles are typically in the higher intelligence range. Mensa Kink. Everyone here is an honors student. ;-)

I like to think so!

You get a diploma, and you get a diploma... everyone gets a diploma! lol

I like to think it has something to do with being open minded. If you are open minded to alternative sex lifestyles, chances are it represents your overall open mindedness on a larger scale. And if you are open minded, you are open to learning, listening, & considering different points of view. And of course the more you listen, the more you learn. The more you learn, the more intelligent you'll tend to be.

Make sense?

Absolutely. It's all linked to psyche.

Believe the other way around being smart generates creativity that leads to sexual kink.

Well they say genius is madness. Or is that madness is genius? Whatever...

Chicken:egg argument, n'est-ce pas?

I’m very kinky. Many degrees. Don’t know what that means but it sounds like Mensa meetings should involve group sex.

Hmm. I joined Mensa for a while when I was young! Don't remember any group sex - or even any interesting approaches made to me! But in those days I was hugely self-conscious, which probably made me unresponsive to subtle invitations! I'll go so far as to say that I was obtuse - paradoxical as that may sound. Still, these days I freely admit that I am kinky, and I do believe that owning up to it is the right thing to do, i.e., rather than deny it!

I'm not absolutely sure about that, but people who seek novelty tend to often be more into kink...

In the Joke thread about the word "Fuck", someone posted a link that shows people who use vulgar language are smarter that the those who don't. Goes along with the kink theory - smarter people are more prone to experiment.

I'm not in the higher intelligence range but I'm a 5' 2" Kinky folk with better than average common sense.

@GyneDoll, if you don't consider yourself in the higher intelligence range, it's probably because you're already there.

You're welcome!

I have a normative IQ (though I wonder if IQ is kind of an obsolete metric. I need to Google some debate articles on this). I also have dysnomia and a short term memory LD, as wel as developmental social delays relating to disability.

But I am one curious mo fro, even if I need to relearn certain things (fetish research is always fun, though, amirite?)

Possibly, but I know that the inverse is not necessarily true. Smart people are not always kinky. I dated a highly intelligent woman once who was so unkinky and unadventurous in bed that the term 'vanilla' would be too extreme for her. Worst sex ever, and although she was fascinating to talk to and discuss ideas and politics and history and so on with, it was a very short relationship. To be honest, I suspected that she may have been abused when she was young but she never elaborated on anything and never wanted to talk about her childhood so I stopped asking.
