Nerd Love. Having lived in and around the MIT community for a number of years, I've seen enough examples of nerd love. But even I was suprised to read in The Register that Nerds are rampant sex machines... According to a non-scientific survey by JustTechJobs.com, American IT men get lucky 108 times a year on average, compared to the normal 79 times.
I would suggest this simply has to do with their average age being 24, instead of the overall average age of say 35. Or perhaps the survey just failed to employ the all important phrase "with a partner" in its question.
