The 10 Real Reasons Why Geeks Make Better Lovers

Select bits ...

Geeks get personal with tech

All engineers may be geeks, but not all geeks are engineers. Doesn't matter. You don't need to know how to build a platform in order to do a half-gainer in full pike with a twist into the river of love.

A geek is more likely to figure out how to customize toys and to design arousing environments for your avatars to play in than a non-geek. And that experience translates into a greater sensitivity to atmosphere and mood during sex -- beyond lighting a candle.

Don't be surprised if your geek lover puts more thought into arranging the boudoir than you do, or if common household items ("pervertibles") soon take on a new dimension. More than one geek has told me that Home Depot is their favorite adult store.

Geeks dig consensual role playing

Geek lovers combine a well-developed and oft-exercised erotic imagination with their physical technique. It isn't a big leap from "I'm a level-13 thief, evil-aligned" to "I'm the prison warden and you're the new detainee." Scientists and therapists alike claim that the brain is the most critical sexual organ; a geek's familiarity with fantasy arouses your mind even as the handcuffs -- or the bag of loot -- bring your body to attention.

Geeks interact

A technophobe mostly talks to you in person, but a geek is happy to be with you by texting your phone, flirting with you in a chat room, Skyping you, Twittering just in case you're on your vibrating couch (NSFW), sending funny cell-phone snapshots to your e-mail, playing online games, commenting on your blog, Digging articles that interest you, seducing you by instant message….

Geeks get things done

Geeks know all the shortcuts. They research your interests, send you surprise gifts, plan your perfect vacation, get the bills and grocery shopping out of the way, write to their mothers, and tease you mercilessly, all while pretending to work. And when you ask them to set up your home Wi-Fi or install a home theater, it's done quickly, expertly and without complaint.

In other words, geeks know how to get everything else out of the way so there's more time for lovemaking.

Hehe. That was great. Thank you for sharing it. I know a number of women who are happily married to geeks. Must be true then.

 

[KokopelliRises]

I do recall reading a review or something on Lit that was a little bit more in depth about pretty much the same thing. I'd like to see something like this off of Lit about why female geeks make great lovers.

I looked at the comments to the article - there's some funny stuff there too.

All I am Saying Is Give Geeks a Chance!
by PJ Marie

More than a year ago I meet the geek of my dreams through Yahoo personals. What grabbed my attention first off in his profile is that he said not all men can be weight lifting, mountain climbing, sex gods. He is truthful, yes he wears glasses, but he looks great in them. Better lover? Oh yeah, the best. Don't want to get graffic here, but lets just say, I ain't about to let him get away!


Geeks are the new Bohemian Literati
by viragoview.blogspot.com

Geeks have developed the ability to speak in more than one language. Consequently, the usual barriers of culture shock between lovers is mitigated by someone who listens to the subtlest cues you drop and will often become an expert at you and your pleasure.

(Naturally, we inspire reciprocity, as well.) ~Noelle McHenry


We aren't afraid of one nighters or long term commitments.
by Benjamin Bassar

Geeks are cool with pretty much any situation; after being in only one like situation, we can cope with pretty much anything a person can throw at us, be it a quick one night stand, or a long term relationship lasting a lifetime.

It all comes down to what you want.


Passion
by emantos@

What drives a geek to write open source code and spend countless nights testing and perfecting it? the answer : PASSION.

That same passion can also be applied somewhere else.


Geeks are determined to get it right
by GeekLover

My 15 years of dating geeks has taught me that you guys study stuff pretty much constantly, which means you have learned from porn and you apply that knowledge in bed. Better than expected, most of the time.


Geeks research and use tools
by S3

Geeks "RTFM" and will research and learn about new things. They will discover new techniques and practices to give ultimate pleasure to a partner. We aren't afraid to use tools either. We aren't trheatened by toys or contraptions. Give us some encouragement and acceptance and even the shyest amoung us will mod that box until it purrs all night long.

by Tomás

I don't mean to brag, I'm a southamerican, so there's little I can get from the mostly-english-speaking readers, but I can say for a fact that the same thing that's been keeping me tweaking my Linux box for the last 4 years and has me still unsatisfied with it is what's led me through practice and questioning to get quite consistently the "you give the best head on earth" /review/.

Geeks really want to get it right. Whatever "it" might be


Geeks are observant
by John Fox

Geeks are programmed to notice things and to see patterns. That's why we are able to diagnose problems so well. It's a simple step up from that to notice that when a woman is touched a certain way, she enjoys it. There is nothing as erotic as bringing a woman to orgasm. Again and again!


If we can build a computer...
We can make you cum. Period.

 

[Shagly]

Yea, geeks.

 

[PertPerth]

As a fellow geek...I have to agree with all of the above

 

[linuxgeek]

this was clarified in Revenge of the Nerds where it was stated why geeks & nerds were better lovers than jocks.

All jocks think about is sports. All nerds think about is sex.


This is also why a vast amount of the commerce on the Internet is still porn. It's why the internet really started.

My wife lovingly refers to me as King Geek. I think that's a compliment.

Last year I bought her this t-shirt, and at the Gen-Con Gaming convention no less.
