Metrosexual: out, Adrenosexual: in

We already knew mantropy was killing off the metrosexuals. Now comes word of a new kind of man--the adrenosexual:

Defined by their healthy relationship with fear and love of action outside the gym, the Adrenosexual is the new adrenaline urban warrior who gets his kicks speed karting, releases his tension by tightrope walking and works out his worries with wing walking.

...[T]he survey sought to identify individuals' relationships with fear and adrenaline activities and how this equates to success and fulfillment in their lives.

I don't know, sounds like the cast of Jackass are the prototypical adrenosexuals. At the other end of the spectrum are the geeks, currently being made over into love machines on the TV show Beauty and the Geek. (Although some of us would have you believe that's not possible.)

Can't we meet somewhere in the middle? How about a cross between an adrenosexual and a geek with no back hair?
