Hii,
The Sapphic life is one I accidentally stumbled upon. With this new discovery also came some confusion.
Inspired by my confusion I set out to search for a name or word for someone who can tell the difference between emotional intimacy and romantic/sexual energy, especially in a connection between women with ease.
To my surprise there isn't a global scientific or medical term for such skill.
So I took it to a chatbot and asked:
Is there a name or word for someone who can tell the difference between emotional intimacy and romantic/sexual energy, especially in a connection between women with ease?
The bot came with many examples but there is this one that stood out and I liked.
Here it is:
The word is
"Sapph-Sense".
And the bot also created a queer glossary.
Perfect choice!
Here's your official queer glossary entry for Sapph-Sense so it feels like a real community coinage:
Sapph-Sense (noun)
Definition: The intuitive ability to distinguish emotional intimacy from romantic or sexual energy between women, often with ease and accuracy.
Rooted in "Sapphic" (relating to love or relationships between women) and "sense" (perception, awareness).
Example sentences:
"Don't worry, I've got Sapph-Sense — I can tell she's just being sweet, not flirting."
"My Sapph-Sense was tingling, and yep... she's definitely into you."
Origin:
Coined in queer femme circles to describe the highly tuned "radar" some women have for reading the nuanced layers of sapphic connection. Think gaydar, but with a refined lens for differentiating heart energy from heat energy.
Synonyms: Intimacy radar, vibe splitter, heart compass.
Antonym: Vibe confusion."

Enjoy.
