I went to an event that attracted a fair number of nerdly types and noticed, not for the first time, the hyper sexual nature of some of the people who self identified as geeks. It seems the opposite of the stereotypical portrayal of the shy inexperienced nerd. Look what goes on at ren fairs - very overtly sexual. Comic Cons- young nerdy guys groping the booth models. Not shy at all. Role playing itself is often about sex and exhibitionism.
At this event, this woman - overweight in a tight gothic-type dress, rolls bulging out everywhere, stringy hair pulled back in a plastic barette and granny glasses, pushes past the woman this attractive man is talking to. Granny-glasses is obviously hitting on him, but she is trying too hard to appear smart and witty. She is shoving her cleavage in his face and using big words and double entendres. You could tell the guy just wanted to run far away but he was polite. The whole thing was weird and inappropriate. I'm sure the woman gets plenty of sex if she wants but with a limited pool of people. Just like most of us. She was very confident in dealing with this guy. I'm tired of the stereotype of nerds as sweet and innocent. It's wrong - plenty of nerds are kinky, own their style and are proud, sometimes overly so.

Most nerds behave differently at anime cons and gatherings. Sometimes it feels like two different people in one body. See the most outgoing guy running around there seeming kinky, proud and sexy? He's the same guy sitting in the corridor looking down at his feet avoiding eye contact with women.
So don't think that what you see there is what you will get. And roleplaying is still ROLE playing. They get to play a role, to be someone else.
Don't want to crush anything, but this isn't as it looks.
I guess you don't watch The Big Bang Theory on CBS
And are probably too young to remember Pee Wee Herman too
Anyway, I think for most "nerds" what it is that the lack of attracting the opposite sex builds a "suppression" of sort and I would say most want to be as sexual as any typical person but are "held back" and if an opportunity to "release" that happens then it comes out as "hyper-sexual"

It depends. This event wasn't a costume thing, but a tame charity event that just happened to attract some geeky types. The goth woman WAS hitting on this man.
The role playing many times does lead to real life sex - I've seen it and heard the stories. No big deal though, as long as everyone is consenting.

Costume or not, take and watch most of theese people in their ordinary life, and you would get shocked.
It's quite rare, if not very rare that it leads to sex. The only way anyone there would get sex was if they found a woman with shared interests or equal 'geeky' and those don't tend to jump in bed with anyone. (I'm talking about bigger gatherings, not your neighboorhood 6 man team of starwars geeks)
It's not everything it's made out to be, atleast in my experience.
Haven't you ever seen revenge of the nerds? Or watched Star Trek? Oh yeah, the nerds are having lots of fun at those Trekkie conventions. And the geeks I knew in school are now highly successful wealthy men, and because I went to a really large school to begin with, they were among other geeks, so not so shy.
