Because a sexual relationship requires 2 people to touch, so it is a relatable setup.

yeah but like, you don’t need to specify that one individual is naked. If that’s a required factoid of the statement, the engineer, mathematician, and physicist should also be naked. But there’s no mention of that.
Now i don’t have much experience in relationships, particularly inter personal ones, but to my knowledge, you are generally clothed most of the time.

You are overthinking it. This is just a premise to setup the joke that an engineer deals with approximation while the other two give up because they’ll never reach 0.
It could be a bowl of ice cream for all that matters, but people like corny jokes, so that’s it.

Were you neutered as a child?

no i just don’t fucking understand why the naked woman matters here.
Could be fucking anything, a pile of a billion dollars. Three turtles, or a goat, it’s the same joke.

I don’t think it’s the same joke when it’s three turtles or a goat, because the joke is “I think I can get close enough…to engage in unspecified sex acts with this woman.”
You think the same chemicals that turned the frickin frogs gay is responsible for this aversion to sexual thoughts? “Could it not be a naked woman? That clutches my pearls.”

Exactly, it’s the same joke regardless so why get bent out of shape over it?

The engineer will never reach her, but his boner will.

im pretty sure most people have arms. An engineer almost certainly does.

Nope, had to be cakes out, specifically to piss off the people who get angry when they detect something men stereotypically enjoy.

Cakey snatch isn’t exactly my preferred choice but when in Rome.
