Computer Geeks Make the Best Lovers

Posted by samzenpus on from the is-that-a-hard-drive-in-your-pocket dept.

An anonymous reader writes "An anonymous study of 2,000 British men and women concluded that out of all jobs, computer geeks make the best lovers. They were found to be the most selfless in bed, the most adventurous and more likely to use sex toys, wireless or otherwise."

    when you only get exposed to the female form via the internet when the real thing comes along, you do your best to make sure there are repeat performances.

    And yes that is from experience and I'm not afraid to admit it!

    Let's not forget, they're only counting that very small percentage of geeks that actually gets laid. Using that methodology, I'd bet you'd find that hideously deformed mutants make even better lovers, because for you to be bonking a hideously deformed mutant, he/she/it must be really good in the sack.

      Well, the study didn't actually say they get laid.

      For example:

      "Seventy-eight per cent of techies that were questioned also claimed that sex toys were part of their love life"

      "And a further eight out of ten tech workers said that sex toys played an important part in their sexual relationships "

      "Eighty-two per cent of IT workers also claimed to consider their partners sexual needs above there own"

      Translation: the ones they interviewed are getting along with inflatables, Fleshlights, and pr0n, or if they are rich enough, maybe a Real Doll. The "partners needs" mentioned are probably the need for new batteries in some of their toys.

      It never says the actually get laid :)

    What is that picture supposed to be in the article? "What New Zealand might look like?"

    And why is Idle's formatting still so broken? I'm on Firefox 3 on a Mac, and the titles are invisible and the text box I'm typing in now is only about 20 characters wide.

    I find the notion of a sex toy plugged in to a power outlet disturbing

    Agree. I've always preferred gas-powered sex toys, preferably the ones with manual choke and pull start.
