Panel 1:
Woman: Talk mathy to me!
Man: Mmmm?
Man: It's my fetish.
Panel 2:
Man: Uh... e^(iπ) = -1?
Woman: Everyone knows that! I'm practically flaccid now!
Panel 3:
Man: The general form is e^(ix) = cos x + i sin x?
Woman: Ohhh getting warmer.
Panel 4:
Man: And if x = π/2, that's e^(iπ/2) = cos(π/2) + i sin(π/2)!
Woman: That's obvious. Erection fading.
Panel 5:
Man: But since cos(π/2) = 0 and sin(π/2) = 1, the whole thing reduces to e^(iπ/2) = i!
Woman: Oh god, oh god!
Panel 6:
Woman: Oh that's mathy, oh you're a mathy mathy girl!
Panel 7:
Man: And since e^(iπ/2) is a real number, it's real as well!
Woman: Ohhhh goddd!
Panel 8: (the couple lying in bed afterward, no dialogue)
Votey:
Woman: Is this a hint?
Man: ...no...

An eight-panel SMBC comic. A blonde woman and a man are in bed together. She says "Talk mathy to me! It's my fetish." He nervously offers Euler's identity, "e to the i pi equals negative one," and she complains "Everyone knows that! I'm practically flaccid now!" He escalates through the general form e^(ix) = cos x + i sin x ("getting warmer"), then the x = pi/2 case e^(i pi/2) = cos(pi/2) + i sin(pi/2) ("That's obvious. Erection fading."), and finally reduces it to e^(i pi/2) = i, at which she cries out in ecstasy, "Oh god, oh god! Oh that's mathy, you're a mathy mathy girl!" He adds that the result is also "real" and she screams "Ohhhh goddd!" The last panel shows them lying together afterward. In the bonus votey panel (rough black-and-white sketch), the woman lying in bed asks "Is this a hint?" and the man replies "...no..."
