Sex Tips For Geeks

For the nerd herd here at DTV. A blogger has decided to help you out.
Good luck. LOL

Is there a difference between geek sex and, well, "other" sex?

Absolutely, says Violet Blue, a San Francisco-based sex blogger, author and self-described "sex educator." Blue led a SXSWi presentation titled, "The Sexual Survival Guide for Geeks,"or, as she put it, "booty call boot camp." Not surprisingly, it was well attended.

"Flirting with geeks is really different than flirting with regular people," said Blue, who dressed for the occasion in knee-high boots, lacy stockings and armfuls of tattoos. "Geeks tend to read signals not the way that other people read signals." In other words, they may not be as attuned as most people to body language and other social clues, she said.

Blue described the Austin, Texas event as a hotbed of hook-ups.

"That's the mystique of South by Southwest. It's called spring break for geeks. There's a lot of sex," she said. "It's got a bit of a reputation for it."

Maybe that's why Blue handed out dozens of "survival kits" filled with condoms, lubricant, hand wipes and, um, latex gloves. (Because nothing says "unbridled lust" like latex gloves.)

She also offered some tips for the tech-centric crowd in the audience:

* Use clever, SXSWi-centric ice-breaker lines such as, "Mac or PC, or both?" Come to think of it, that "sounds a little dirty," she said.
* Don't hook up with anyone you wouldn't want to run into the next day in the convention hall.
* Don't broadcast your hook-ups on social media. "Please don't @reply about last night's hot sex."
* If you score with someone and want to see them the next day, use "non-confrontational communications" such as texts or IMs. Don't call them.

Blue's advice seemed to resonate with her audience, some of whom seemed eager to hit South by Southwest's parties and, um, mingle.

"Oh my God, there's so much pent-up sexual frustration here," said Martin Whitmore, 30, an illustrator from Austin who wore a kilt and aviator goggles on his head. "I think more geeks should be having more sex ... because we get a bad rap."
