Spread & Usage
How did Morosexual spread?
It is discussed whether Morosexual is actually a sexuality, or just a preference towards a trait, similar to preferring blondes over brunettes.
However, it can be a sexuality considering that being with a less intelligent partner will make you the more intelligent part of the relationship, giving a sense of superiority, although that does not give a basis for a healthy relationship.
In modern society, the majority of Morosexuals are men, especially looking for younger, “dumber” female partners, so that they can be the dominant part of the relationship.
