[Caught in the Net] Hail to the Geek

The remake of Star Trek is a bona fide box office smash, providing yet one more demonstration of the fact that the geeks have inherited the Earth (or at least the media). For myself, I liked the movie, except for the sexism and the fact that the science (and thus the science-propelled plot) didn’t make a lick of sense. This seems a good time to link to io9’s nice compilation: “To Boldly Go There: A History Of Star Trek Porn, With Clips”. They cover both the early days of Kirk/Spock slash fanfic and erotic comics, but the image-heavy goodness comes with the advent of Trek-based porno movies. I can’t tell you if this is a definitive list, but for those interested in anally violating the Prime Directive, there’s plenty to enjoy.

While we’re on the subject of space, there’s an image of a nebula that has been described as a “Cosmic Hand Reaching for the Light”, but those with a filthier turn of mind think it looks like a space-orifice about to be fisted by a stellar glove. Such a fundamentally human thing, isn’t it, to look at the stars in the sky and see our Earthly concerns reflected there?

Maxim put together a list of 50 Years of Geek Goddesses, drawn from science fiction films over the decades. Thus, these are specifically women perceived as goddesses by geeks, not geeks who are also goddesses; that would be a different, and probably largely non-overlapping, list. Still, I’m not one to sneer at Megan Fox in her short-shorts or Diana Rigg in a catsuit of Charisma Carpenter in, well, anything.

There’s more to geek life than movies, of course, and one other important facet is games. I’ve been following the intersection of game technology and sex irregularly here for a while, and I’ve got another installment: The SOM, a hands-free masturbation device that synchs up with erotic game Cross Days and, ah, makes climactic moments even more dramatic. There’s a version for boys and for girls! (Or boys who like robo-pegging.) Personally, the thought of entrusting my private pleasure to a machine attached to a game is a bit terrifying, but maybe I’m just getting old. I’ll wait for reports from the early adopters.

A final bit of geeky self-pleasuring paraphernalia: this gorgeous steampunk vibrator, which can run on compressed air or on actual steam; though when used with actual steam it apparently becomes flesh-searingly hot, so that’s not as practical. This is, alas, an art object, not something you can run out and buy. But maybe the engineer in your life can make you one?
