It's actually pretty eclectic, but usually has a pretty nerdy under- (or over-) current.
For instance, this one (which I am conviced is the litmus test for mathematical insanity).

Here's how it works:
Do you find this:
- Pathetic: who works on math while having sex?
- Funny, but would never interupt sex to work on a proof.
- Funny, and would be so distracted it would be hard to enjoy the enconter until you write it up.
- Funny, and would interupt sex, but not write on your partner's body if short of paper.
- Funny and you would absolutely do it.
- Not funny--this is legitimate, normal behavior.
I would say if answer number one, you're probably normal. If you answer six, well, I'm not sure even someone like Nash would have gone that far.
I'm about a 4.
