Technosexual
From Free net encyclopedia
Technosexual (a portmanteau word combining "technological" and "metrosexual"), previously used to refer to an individual with a sexual attraction to machinery, is a term recently redefined to describe a person (usually a male) with a strong aesthetic sense and a love of gadgets.
This term can also apply to anyone that spends a large amount of time on computers or doing computer related things. Technosexual implies a vast knowledge of things that have to do with computers. It combines the slang term "The Sex" meaning "hottest" "best" or "adept at" with "Techno" which refers to machines or technology. A literal meaning would be "the best at technology."
Technosexuality has been defined as "a dandyish narcissist (In the Definition of a Dandy, it's implied that he is already indeed a narcissist..) in love with not only himself, but also his urban lifestyle and gadgets; a straight man (Why Must he be straight? Most Dandies are Homosexual, truth be known) who is in touch with his feminine side but has fondness for electronics such as cell phones, PDAs, computers, software, and the web."
Occasionally, this term is used as an insult, implying that a person would prefer a sex toy to an actual sexual partner.
