I say the author is a sexually frustrated straight female, who is both tomboyish and geeky.
...and she has trouble getting dates with men because she doesn't often conform to stereotypical "female" behaviors, which leads many people to conclude that she's actually homosexual. I'd wager she's also heavily supportive of gay rights, which wouldn't do anything to dislodge that misconception.
This puts her in an uncomfortable position: Give up her "unfeminine" hobbies and interests, or become a LOT more overtly and blatantly sexual than she's comfortable with.

I speak with a LOT of authority on the subject.
