Silicon Valley people aren't having sex. This is why.

Unlike Wall Street, Silicon Valley isn't as glammed up as Wall Street is in Hollywood. In this article Peter Thiel says "The techies in Silicon Valley aren't having much sex, and that is why many people there criticized Trump's comment."

Here is what he said:

“On the one hand, the tape was clearly offensive and inappropriate. At the same time, I worry there’s a part of Silicon Valley that is hyper-politically correct about sex. One of my friends has a theory that the rest of the country tolerates Silicon Valley because people there just don’t have that much sex. They’re not having that much fun.”

I think his friend's theory is right. Perhaps Silicon Valley techies aren't having sex, because they want to prolong that nerdy image so that they can remain low key. They won't be receiving negative media, thus not enticing government to be any restrictions on them. In the end they keep the money coming.
