I've read about the Open Source Boob guy elsewhere too and, having been immersed in geek culture myself, I find that aspect/attitude of some types of geekiness pretty cringeworthy (and rather common). Like synedochic suggests, I can be pretty lecherous myself, but the real problem is when there's no apparent regard for or awareness of other people's possibly different feelings and perspectives. I think ethical lechery requires empathy and a degree of conservatism in one's approach.
