    “2002, Torrin/Darren WhoEver, "https//web.archive.org/save/https://wolfieboy.livejournal.com/2262.html", Stoked on Sapiosexuality, March 2002. "Me? I don't care too much about the plumbing. I want an incisive, inquisitive, insightful, irreverent mind. I want someone for whom philosophical discussion is foreplay. I want someone who sometimes makes me go ouch due to their wit and evil sense of humor. I want someone that I can reach out and touch randomly. I want someone I can cuddle with."”
