Are nerds/geeks/gamers/whateverweare more kinky?

[Jesterscup]

Here's my theory:

I think nerds and gamers are more likely to be open to new ideas and alternative ways of thinking. If we take Escapists to be a fairly typical nerdy community, I think most of us are quite liberal in our political views, many of us like unconventional, non-mainstream music (look at the frequent heavy metal threads) as well as watch forms of entertainment that are not understood and often stigmatised by the general population (ie, Japanese anime).

Therefore, it is not unreasonable to think that people of our disposition may also be inclined to unconventional sexual activities as well.

This was the reason I would give. Most of those I know in real life who are interested in BDSM and other 'niche' activities are often also geeks and gamers. and this is the reason I would give.

Probably this. And the fact that role playing (tabletop or RPG or whatever) kinda lends itself well to that kind of thing.

I'm honestly not all that surprised if geeks are more kinky than the average person (although we geeks are taking over quite a bit)
