SXSW Sexy Geeks: Erotica, Sex Survival Tips, Safe Sex Charts, Audio and More

5 pieces of BRILLIANCE put forth by a DARING and DELIGHTFUL reader

sexual survival for geeks

UPDATE: Great coverage by MSNBC, who apparently attended my talk! Read Technolog: SXSW: Sexual Survival Guide for Geeks. I am glad that she included the fact that SXSW (this year, for the first time) blocks convention access to TinyNibbles, and mentioned my experience doing press afterward and having a CNN reporter ask me if women at SXSW are “gold diggers.” Also, FYI: the room had 600 seats in it.

CNN’s video piece went up and now I see just how constructed and exploitative CNN really is. Apparently the CNN reporter was wandering around my audience asking women to say “geek girls gone wild” things – to which they refused. Then, the editing into the “gold digging” SECTION THEY MANUFACTURED in the video revelas that the cameraman was panning up and down my body when I was being interviewed by NPR, they added wokka-wokka music and edited my response to his question “Are the women at SXSW here for gold digging?” to seem is if I was the one who was pointing it out. I will never, ever deal with CNN again. /UPDATE

Today is the day of my talk Sexual Survival for Geeks at SXSW 2011. The whole suite of bonus materials for my talk can be found at mobile-friendly, work-safe page thetotalflirt.com/SXSEXY – and the links to everything are below. As soon as I get any audio or video from the talk, I’ll post it here.

    sexy … kinky … twisted … perverted
    It’s sexy if you’re WEARING feathers.
    It’s kinky if you’re USING a feather.
    It’s twisted if you’re using a FEATHER DUSTER.
    It’s perverted if you’re using the WHOLE DAMN CHICKEN!

    What an ego stroke your podcast is — suddenly I feel proud to be a geek! But yet I’ms skeptical. I’ve been around and have a slashdot id < 70000 to prove it. Do the women you're speaking to, or giving advice to, really exist? Are there really women who might seek out male geeks who converse in, C, C++, Java, Python, linux internals, pthreads, high availability, scalable servers, and are avid swimmers and fiction readers? Or is this just another Internet Fantasy? I think I'm being duped for another Internet Scam.
