For some reason, geeks like to make jokes that geeks actually have sexual arousal about their geek interests. Not sex or fetishes, 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 Wonder Woman fighting Storm turns someone on because it would be an awesome comic, and not because it's two hot chicks fighting, you have this trope.
Just one of the many ways TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life. Also, some of the examples would be Not Safe for Work.
This also doesn't count if a guy just has raging hormones and gets erections at anything, nor does it count if it's merely Squee or And the Fandom Rejoiced. There has to be implications of sexual arousal.
This can happen even when Nerds Are Virgins.
Compare with Geeky Turn-On, Squee, Why Don't You Marry It?, Awesomeness Is Volatile.

Carson the muskrat in Dork Tower responds to Baldur's Gate II in this way. During the opening credits.
Later, Igor watched a The Lord of the Rings trailer 136 times before needing a cigarette.

Quark. The crew are trapped in a Lotus-Eater Machine where all their fantasies are fulfilled, usually in the form of beautiful women. Ficus meets a woman in Nerd Glasses he can discuss equations with. She gets more and more turned on by this until we cut to them lying on the grass with the woman smoking a cigarette.

Whateley Universe: Such reactions aren't uncommon among Gadgeteers and Devisors; jokes about it are even more common among those making fun of them.
Belphoebe is described as being so enamored with the Gizmatic devises that she seemed about ready to have sex with one of the weapon systems.[1]
Several teens at J.J.'s birthday party, on observing Dr Lucifer fawning over the two children accompanying Threshold, assume he's a pedophile; J.J. instead explains that no, those two 'children' are androids, and his attention over them is entirely rooted in technological fascination.[2]

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

On the Sex floor of You Don't Know Jack: The Ride, Guy Towers uses one of the questions as a thinly-veiled request for help regarding his premature ejaculation. If a player picks "the think-of-batting-averages method", he mentions that thinking of Tony Gwynn's statistics actually makes it worse, and he just about goes over the edge just by bringing it up. Later on that same floor, as a correct-answer response...

In his review of The Andromeda Strain, Dom Noble mentions how, while reading the book and noting how much of it is given over to intricate descriptions of scientific experiments, he started to get the impression that Michael Crichton really, really LOVES science. This is followed by a skit in which Crichton calls into a "Naughty Science Appreciation Line," and gets aroused listening to the operator describe the science behind the electron microscope in a sexy voice.

Yellow Overdrive Power Ranger Ronny seemed to get quite hot and bothered when she saw the zords her team were going to be driving. The fans, of course, latched on to her "zordgasm", and soon put her in a Cargo Ship (with drills, after she had a similar reaction to the Drill Blaster in a later episode).

A PG version of this trope occurs in FoxTrot with Jason ogling a computer ad in a magazine the way an older boy would ogle a magazine centerfold. Peter's done the same thing with a guitar magazine.
Jason and Marcus have both ogled a National Geographic with no-holds barred, fully detailed diagrams of the Apollo 11 lunar lander.
