* KevinSmith commented on this at a ''Series/BattlestarGalacticaReimagined'' panel at Comic Con that he was moderating. Tricia Helfer (Number Six) revealed that at one point she used to date NathanFillion (Captain Mal Reynolds of ''Series/{{Firefly}}''). At this Smith remarked that the knowledge that Number Six used to go out with Captain Mal "would make most nerds cum in their pants". Helfer's response was "[[TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow That's why we don't tell]]". Fillion confirmed it at [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UESMoPze2iQ San Francisco WonderCon 2007]].
** A few years later, on a panel for the very same show, Smith commented that a special effects-heavy scene of the Galactica jumping into a planet's atmosphere was so awesome that he came.

* In ''{{Disgaea 3}}'', ComedicSociopath Mao has a tendency to do this whenever he witnesses something particularly [[ForTheEvulz evil]]. His reaction is complete with labored breathing and drooling. (It's probably worth mentioning that Mao embodies [[ThisLoserIsYou a number of stereotypes of RPG gamers]].)

* Creator/StephenColbert had a four-day Nerdgasm in December 2012 in the form of "Hobbit Week" on ''Series/TheColbertReport'', celebrating the release of ''[[Film/TheHobbit The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey]]'', in which he interviewed IanMcKellen, MartinFreeman, Creator/AndySerkis, and Creator/PeterJackson--in which he seemed genuinely excited to talk--and decked out the whole set in Tolkien paraphernalia. There was probably [[ProductPlacement some kind of deal involved]], but no doubt [[OneOfUs Colbert]] (described by Jackson as "the biggest Tolkien geek I have ever met") would have done it regardless.

** In a ''CtrlAltDel'' {{Omake}} strip, Ethan is asked whether NathanFillion from ''{{Firefly}}'' was cooler or {{Batman}}. When he said that Nathan Fillion should play Batman, he actually "gave little Ethan a healthy massage" at the thought of that.

* StephenFry has a nerdgasm in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ovD21KbSDM#t=9m50s this video]] after spotting a Tesla Roadster in traffic and hearing how big of a touchscreen the new Model S will have in the dash. During his second appearance in the "Star In A Reasonably-Priced Car" segment on TopGear, he got more than a little excited while driving his fast lap and Jeremy asked him if he'd [[UnusualEuphemism had a crisis]].

* In TheBigBangTheory Amy tries to induce this in Sheldon so that the good feelings are associated with her. [[HilarityEnsues It]] [[CrowningMomentOfFunny works.]]

* A really disturbing strip of ''Dueling Analogs''. Apparently the combined news of ''VideoGame/MegaMan [[http://www.duelinganalogs.com/comic/2008/06/18/megabomb/ 9]]'' and ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}} [[http://www.duelinganalogs.com/comic/2008/06/30/diablow-iii/ III]]'' made a mess to clean up.
* ''Rooster Teeth Comics'' - When Gus' wife Esther starts playing ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', Gus spends the next four comics with a MASSIVE ERECTION.
* The {{Goblins}} side-comic character [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/tempts-fate-5/ Tempts Fate has one of these]] when he sees, quote, "the most unnecessarily, overly trapped door '''''ever'''''", endquote, in action.

* The comic ''Little Gamers'' does this once in a while, such as one of them "excited" from news about the newest iPhone iteration.

* One strip in AirForceBlues has Barbie literally jacking off to a technical write-up of the [[CoolPlane F-22 Raptor]].

* Spider-Man cites the trope by name in an issue of ''[[ComicBook/TheAvengers New Avengers]]'' when he sees the inner workings of an Ultimo the team is helping Iron Man with.

* Parodied on an episode of ''SaturdayNightLive'' with a fake commercial for a sex chat line featuring women dressed as different geek icons (including [[StarWars Princess Leia]], [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Uhura]], and [[TheLordOfTheRings Galadriel]]) who speak only in references to their respective works.

For some reason, geeks like to make jokes that geeks actually have sexual arousal about their geek interests. Not sex or {{fetish}}es, this is about the latest technology or something like that. Basically, it's the geek factor that is turning them on. If the thought of WonderWoman fighting [[Comicbook/{{X-Men}} Storm]] turns someone on because it would be an awesome comic, and ''not'' because [[GirlOnGirlIsHot it's two hot chicks fighting]], you have this trope.

* [[ThirtyRock Liz Lemon]] finally gets her sex life on track after a rather... [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything interesting]] scene where she discovers she has a huge scheduling fetish. Then she goes to get some office supplies with Criss...
