Computer Geeks Make the Best Lovers

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!

Why do I find the notion of a sex toy plugged in to a power outlet disturbing? (I guess that vibrator goes to eleven, huh?)

As an EE, it boils down to this: Non-certifiable line-powered devices stay away from the squishy bits.

Not to say that you can't make battery-operated gadgets fail in ghastly ways... Modern (NiCd and newer) battery technologies can deliver lots of current and get hot enough to start fires. Lots of nasty chemicals in them batteries, too.

But at least battery-operated devices are i

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

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 r

Geeks are better lovers than escorts ?

In the land of avatars its still relatively harmless to think the feeling is mutual. But all of that Casanova char

She most definitely does not love geeks

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.

Yeah, titles are invisible to me as well. IE7 WinXP.
