Why am I sexually attracted to powerful or intelligent women? I have never acted on my impulses. [View all]
This is nothing new, but it seems to be on my mind more often. Is this just a crush that I am experiencing? I really don't think it is. I find that I am attracted to men who are intelligent more than their physical appearance. It's basically the same thing with women, but the feelings are more intense. (Maybe because I have never acted on them?)
This is really tough for me to explain and I am hoping that someone out there can at least sympathize. I am sure I am not the only one to have felt these desires. Even early in my teen years, I felt sexually stirred by girls that were bold, intelligent, or in one case very athletic. Now it seems to be more of a "crush" on powerful women like Rachel Maddow for example. (There are many more, but I'm not listing them unless someone feels it's necessary to help figure out what is going on.)
Has anyone out there experienced this? I honestly feel like I am fucked up in the head, but I know that's just not true.
