What job says about sex life (IT workers are best in bed)
The Sun ^ | May 21, 2009 | Charlotte Martin

THE next time you want to bag the bonk of your life, you need a partner who knows a lot about your hardware.

While computer nerds are obviously good at IT, what we didn't realise is that they're good at "it" too.

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 the sack, the most adventurous and more likely to use love gadgets.

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, the highest result from all of those asked.

And if you think a perfect bod means a perfect romp, think again.

Those participants who worked in the fitness industry were found to be least likely to use sex toys, with just three in ten using them regularly.

And they were also found to be the most selfish lovers too.

When asked whether they considered their partner's needs above their own, only 41 per cent said yes, the lowest score of all.

But when it comes to stamina those hours on the treadmill definitely pay off.

When asked if they have sex more than three times a week, all that joystick jiggling had worn IT workers out.

They finished third to office workers and fitness experts.

There is a point when trying to please people puts people off. We all want other people to be a bit of a challenge.

What does it really mean to be selfless, anyway? Isn’t sex about both people? And if these guys are truly selfless, does that mean they’d be willing to get a buddy off if he really needed it? Obviously not. You have to get something out of sex to enjoy it. There are some straight guys who engage in homosexual sex without enjoying it, but they do it for the money.

IT guys probably worry about the next time they’ll get laid. Also, their lack of experience may hurt them more than their willingness helps. Practice makes perfect.

Finally, who cares what they say? The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

I don’t know. Seems to me that if you need love “gadgets”, then your own “gadgets” must not be up to par, not to mention your imagination . . . .

100% of those 82% lie on sex surveys.

The author seems to place heavy emphasis on the use of mechanical gadgets; one is forced to wonder where the concept of love fits into all this.

No matter. In future, as Woody Allen has informed us in his movie, “Sleeper,” everyone will have access to the Ultimate Gadget - the Ogasmatron. After that, one will hardly have to resort to other human beings at all for the satisfaction of one’s carnal appetites.

Exactly. The author mistakenly mistakes the willingness to use gadgets with being a good lover. My opinion is that if you need gadgets to make things happen, you're probably doing it wrong.

Somehow I don’t think the concepts of “being good in bed” and “willing to use sex devices” are compatible. If one is truly good at this sort of thing, why is a device even needed?

Call me Old Fashioned. The only device I need is my hubby.
