I agree it sounds ridiculous, but now I am having a hard time thinking of an appropriate example of sexual language at a tech conference. These rules set clearly defined boundaries that even the most tactless, socially inept people can understand and abide by.

A joke perhaps? It is ridiculous also because the punishment is far too severe.

A sexual joke would be appropriate? Not IMO.

"Fuck" as an exclamation is not sexual language. You could argue otherwise, but you'd just be being literal-minded.
