           The sexual habits of the computer professional
           ==============================================

The world in general likes to believe that the insular computer boffin does not know the meaning of love-making. Of course this is not true. Most IT specialists have healthy and rewarding sex lives - often with other humans - which keep them bright and smiling as they tap away at the keyboard and chirpily browse their manager's Netscape cache. And the true IT professional - of course - always behaves faithfully to his chosen development environment - even in the bedroom....

You make love to your girlfriend, but it takes hours, and everyone in the street has to wait until you've finished before they can make love to their partners. When you've finished, you tell your girlfriend that you're not committed to her, and she pretends you never made love in the first place.

You spend weeks with a propelling pencil and some graph paper planning exactly how you’re going to make love to your girlfriend, but when the moment comes you end up enthusiastically buggering the cat. Afterwards you pretend that you wanted to do that anyway.

You want to make love to your girlfriend the really clever way you did it yesterday, but you've forgotten it.
