In aforementioned hacker IRC channel there is probably at least context or knowledge that they're just screwing around with the double meaning of pentesting. I see it pretty commonly with any combination of genders, including m/m anal-related somewhat tasteless jokes.
In this case it was led with something akin to aww are you lost? where is your boyfriend?, which already provides really shitty harassment context. There's also a pretty large difference when you're in a chill groupchat compared to _representing your employer at a conference_

We're not in middle school anymore and it's not particularly funny of a joke. Statements made to break the ice and provide a more social environment are fine for easing technical discussions - especially when introverts are so common in our field - but there are legions of other topics in the security research field that can yield rich soil for merriment.
