Any thoughts?

I'm very attracted to intelligence, more than any physical feature.  If I interpret your post to ask how this is expressed with regard to physical traits, then I can say that I have been known to be attracted to people who did not conform to the societal expectation of "beauty" (short, a few extra pounds, wears glasses, etc.).  I have also been known to develop attraction to people who did not meet my usual preferences in physical characteristics based solely on their intelligence.  Conversely, I have been known to be attracted to people who were intelligent, but were otherwise not people with whom I would care to associate because of various character traits I find unappealing.
 
Does that answer your question?

Status: offline 		It can't be. If it was solely physical, intelligence would have nothing to do with it. It can be expressed, though, in the thoughtfulness of the way in which the physical is expressed - the way they understand how to use you, or be of use to you, physically. Thats' very subjective, though.

Status: offline 		Sorry for the vagueness!

What I'm trying to ask is, for example, if you enjoy being in/putting others in confined spaces, there are certain D/s type activities that can be used (mummification maybe one).

But, if intelligence is the 'kink', whether it be for the D or s, how would that be expressed in a D/s related activity?

I hope that makes a little more sense?

Making him solve riddles or if he's a geek, getting him to write a code? Doesn't sound very kinky to me

The only activities I can think of that fall specifically within the spectrum of BDSM which showcase intelligence are mindfucks and, possibly, erotic hypnotism.  However, neither of these is physical.  By it's very definition, an intelligence kink takes place in the mind rather than in the material realm.  I can think of a vast array of ways intelligence could be useful in a D/s relationship, but none of them are specifically physical in nature.

Just a couple of quick examples off the top of my head: 
 
I enjoy scenes that are somewhat theatrical in nature.  I love to role-play and this translates into scenes that have a theme, such as an interrogation scene.  The scene relies on both the s-type and I maintaining our respective characters for it to be effective.  An intelligent s-type is going to be able to maintain focus and even be able improvise in order to make the scene more enjoyable for both of us.
 
I also enjoy the Victorian, Romantic and Renaissance periods, particularly the literature.  I could easily give an s-type the task of researching the social etiquette of any of these periods and giving me a report on it so that I could plan a period-reenactment luncheon.  The s-type would then be required to find or make appropriate outfits for us and serve the meal in the appropriate fashion.  S/he might also be required to entertain me and my guests by reading some poetry from the period. 
 
None of this is specifically physical, but it requires intelligence on the part of the s-type in order to be most effective.  Could a less intelligent s-type do these things?  Yes, probably, but it wouldn't be enjoyable for either of us.  See where I'm going?

Right off the bat........I won't have to explain how to operate my french press.

I can enjoy an intelligent conversation about a multitude of things that interest me, books, movies, documentaries, etc.

I can give them a research task and have it be less painful than pulling teeth to describe what I actually need.

They would likely be gainfully employed.

Status: offline 		I'm not particularly attracted to "intelligence". I find that word to be pretty tenuous anyway. I'm up for "interesting" but there are lots and lots of ways to be interesting. Carol, for instance, would not do exceptionally well on an IQ test, but man, her visual abilities are astonishing. I love watching movies with her because I'll recap the plot to her (she's not a plot girl unless it's an emotional plot) and she'll tell me the 16 jillion fascinating things I didn't notice about the visuals.

In the end, if forced to choose some sort of classic brain thing, I'd pick wisdom over intelligence any day of the week. Honestly though, what turns my crank is "heart stuff" not "brain stuff".
