Linux and Sex: Debunking the Myth

Published on May 16, 2008 in Humor by Rami Taibah

For some reason beyond me, Linux is almost synonymous with “anti-sex”. I still don’t fully understand from where this notion came from. While I admit that there are some rotten apples out there:

But these people are just giving us a bad name! I mean I am sure anybody could find a dorky doctor, or a nerdy lawyer! Yet these men with these professions are in high demand. You don’t see anybody using sweeping statements on a whole profession just because they met a dorky doctor.

Women need to understand that geek is good! And Linux is the sexy! Want proof? Here you go:

Sexy Paris Hilton Loves Linux

Paris Hilton seems to adore us

eee pc sexy chick

Sexy beach models find our gear fun

Sexy Chick Body Painted With a Linux Theme

Some chicks even body paint us!

Us Linux geeks thrive on documentation, and we even documented our own kama sutra!

Linux Sex Positions Kama Sutra

We also have all the right moves, we know what to say, when to say it, and how to say it!

Linux Geeks Demand Linux on Xbox

Now after all this proof, ladies, do you still have doubt in your minds (or hearts) that we are the perfect match. You keep searching for the “one”, whilst this “one” is probably just waiting at your “./” all along!

    Hot. haha.. Rami, I can actually comment on this post from your blog. Everything else has too much technology/software talk for me…not that I don’t appreciate that. I’m just right-brained. SIGH

    The term Linux is derived from Linus Torvalds its creator. He married a 6-time Finnish national karate champion, so it’s proof Linux affiliation is not “anti-sex”.

    Por alguna razón más allá de mí, Linux es casi sinónimo de "anti-sexo". Todavía no comprendo del todo de donde vino este mito. Si bien reconozco que hay algunas manzanas podridas…

    @ Webdesigncompany:

    Oh yeah? What is the Karate Champ guy’s name?

  • Vizerai

    @ nunya

    It’s a girl and her name is Tove Torvalds. They have 3 children.

    Tove Torvalds is not an argument in your favor…….

    I wouldn’t say that linux, or any OS in general are “synonymous with anti-sex… While it’s fun to continually portray this type of behavior (hence the necessity for 250 does not apply to digg users jokes for every front page story featuring women or sex) — I live in a far different reality. Having been in the industry for over 13 years now I’ve seen my fair share of super nerds that don’t get a bunch of play, but there are plenty of those working at home depot and waffle house too. The overwhelming majority of folks I’ve met in the IT field are bright and interesting folks that have reasonable, if not “better than average” quality of life including relationships, marriage or otherwise.
    Sure, it’s fun to play the uber-geeks don’t get any play card but the reality is far from the (self perpetuated) perception.

  • http://3critical.wordpress.com coy

    Using Linux, and not some common OS can be impressive. Impressive can be a means to having sex.

    All you have to do is get into her Konsole.

    I’m married to a Linux Guru and I think it’s sexy. Although, he does totally fit the stereotype of a guy who has no idea how to talk to girls.

    A lot of girls are into geeks, but the geeks usually have no idea.

  • http://www.promotinglinux.com/ Linux is NOT HOT!

    Lies!!!

    Paris Hilton does not use Linux. Vista SP1, all the way.
    Paris Hilton is a Vista User

  • junwah nutle

    It is not that anything related to Linux is anti-sex, it is that being associated with Linux is “anti-sex with anybody else other than yourself with a lot of porn torrents and free internet port viewed through open source tools”. I’m spent.

    Linux and Hilton is very sexy post :)

  • LadyVader

    Yeah, calinazaret is right. I’ve been with my Linux-user boyfriend for almost a year now. And I loved that he was a geek, it just took him awhile to notice, lol.

  • Jimmy Dean

    Dude, Linux is DA SHIZ! Would I lie to you? It just doesnt get any better than LInux yall. Peace.

    Paris Hilton has an IQ of a 5 yr old retard, that’s why she loves Vista!

  • crazyguy444

    what an erotic article, *sarcasm*. I’m a linux user , but whoever wrote this article is a loser and never got laid. Being a plaboy and a ultra linux geek don’t mix.

  • crazyguy444

    Unless all linux users look like this http://www.chinesenewear.com/maldivepunkfan/wp-content/image/softwarefreedomday07/linuxunil_geek.jpg

    Then I can understand where the author is coming from, but that’s clearly not the case.

  • FireGuyX

    Question to Rami Taibah, have you ever gotten laid? If you have then you answered your own topic. But judging from your article, you probably haven’t

  • linsux

    Why do Linux neckbeards always feel the need to prove that they have sex lives? If you had one you wouldn’t be on the net trying to convince us that you do.

  • http://hehe2.net Rami Taibah

    @Crazyguy444 and FireGuyX: Guys chill out, it’s categorized under humor ffs! The first picture of the guy on the car inspired this whole blog, I was thinking of him when I wrote all this…

  • buckykat

    okay, this post is running with this conjecture: the posts here claiming to be written by females are actually written by females. two tips to them: linux geeks are bad at taking a hint, and we speak in a strange manner

  • Yonah

    Linux users are most often assholes, but not the kind that ladies are normally attracted to. Many of them are too self centered and egotistical to even care about sex in the first place, viewing it as something for people who can’t control their urges. Looking down on people becomes part of their lifestyle, so they reap what the sow in the end.

  • fijfeif

    I never before heard this- user of 12 years. I guess those non-Linux users not having sex are just jealous.

  • http://tracyreed.org Tracy Reed

    I’ve been a Linux geek for 15 years and I’ve gotten more than my fare share of whatever I wanted. Now I’m getting married. She’s smokin’ hot, very smart, a lot of fun, and she is right next to me as I type this using her Linux laptop running pidgin to IM with her friends.

    Here’s a link to some pics of her on my personal website:

    http://tinyurl.com/3od3na

    And here’s her flickr account:

    http://tinyurl.com/4kayfq

    You want to know how I met her? Because of Linux. Linux got me a great job which took me to cool places where I met cool people, including her.

    Now Linux pays for the cars I drive, the planes I fly, and the house I live in.

    Linux is da bomb.

    And yes, I have a Linux bumper sticker on my car. One of the same ones the guy above has (second from the right in blue-green letters).

    So anyone who says Linux guys don’t get laid are crazy.

    you know. your argument is pretty retarded
