Sexual Healing
As if Metrosexual wasn't enough, now we have the Technosexual.
New terms are great, but the sexual suffix refers to sexuality, not lifestyle. Metrosexuals are by definition heterosexuals with high-brow and narcissistic tastes. It's a cute buzz word, but it dilutes the meaning of language. Ditto for the technosexual.
Ironically, the new definition of technosexual as a person obsessed with technology is trying to supplant its existing definition, which is a person who loves machines. REALLY loves machines. Like Pleasure-bots, or Joe Gigolo.
