to feel a teeny-weeny frisson of lust when a male friend thrashes me....

[SpawnChorus]

at scrabble?

I am happily married. He's an old (but not particularly close) friend. I don't find him attractive.

BUT - he has kicked my ass at scrabble in every game I've played.

Oooh brainy men.

Mnnnnnfffhhh.

I have a slight crush on a lecturer... he is nerdily nerdy... but by god his brain is sexy!

Oh I can identify. Brainy types do it for me

He's just beaten me again....So masterful...

Nothing like a good old thrashing to get your frissons going!

If you weren't on MN at the same time as playing, you could beat him!

My sister ALWAYS has crushes on men that have a higher level of intelligence than her (mind you - thats not difficult) . She seems to fancy men who are authority figures such as Lecturers (shes at uni and fancies nearly every single male lecturer), Doctors - she fancies every doctor she has been in cotact with - even our GP's and they are all in their 50's .

Its very strange but some women just like the fact that a person is A) brainy and B) an authority figure - its kinda sexy even if the bloke aint .

you should webcam broadcast your thrashings...

Ok so of course I thought this might be a BDSM discussion and guess what... it sort of is. Getting turned on by someone who can take control of you or dominate you in any field is not uncommon (nor sick or wrong) and not gender-specific, either.
Enjoy
