nius' LiveJournal got me thinking... healerkou recently told her mom that "Geeks don't have sex." This isn't really true - it is the popular stereotype, and it may be true that geeks find sex less readily available, but that's changing. And, like so much else at the beginning of the 21st century, we can connect it right to that dang Internet.
Short history of the geek-sex evolution of the Internet:
1) Government-sponsored geeks build a network to talk about nuclear explosions. 2) Those geeks, while talking about nuclear reactions, digress into astronomy.
3) Those geeks, while talking about astronomy, digress into Star Trek.
4) Those geeks, while talking about Star Trek, digress into things they'd like to do with the half-naked aliens on the show.
5) ... which leads to Internet porn archives.
6) ... which leads to the discovery that the geeks can make money selling porn site subscriptions to non-geeks.
7) ... which leads to horny geeks meeting each other on porn sites and *doing* something about it.
Of course, this wouldn't work were it not for the fact that intelligent women everywhere are discovering this subculture in which they can make as much money as the males, and simply by agreeing to roll a few d20s once a week, they can have intelligent men with paying jobs lined up at their doors.
It's a rosy future, with hope for us all... assuming the non-geeks don't catch on that we are finally having sex without them, and blow up the planet in spite.
