There's one hell of a truth there, isn't it--similar to what I said about my experience at SF cons making me feel less objectified because I'm female, rather than more, in the way it sometimes is in other, non-nerd venues. My experience is not quite the same as yours, but I too can't remember any experience of sexually threatening touching, personally. Sometimes there are people who get in my personal space, what with breath or body odor or distance or an occasional, "They're touching my arm a lot, aren't they. Look, I get it, you don't need to win me over." But not threatening.
