one looks forward to the day when the General Theory of Relativity and the Principia will outsell the Kama Sutra in back-street bookshops

1. What do you know about the Kama Sutra? 

    I know it's mostly misunderstood, but it's the standard. I've seen it, but have not read it. 

    For that matter, I've never known anyone with whom it made sense to do so. 

2. Do you believe in the healing power of makeup sex? 

    I had to really think about this one. In my experience, thinking about what the sex "means" or the message that it is intended to convey, then there's too much thinking going on. I believe that it's a Monday morning quarterbacking kind of thing—where one later interprets it that way, with more clues than were apparent at the time. 

    Good-bye sex, though, can be quite therapeutic.

3. Have you ever gone to a nude beach? Would you? 

    God, no. I know a couple who've made a habit of it, off and on, and have had friends and acquaintances who've made at least one visit. None of them described it in any way other than "boring" or "normal." Definitely not "sexy" or "fascinating."

4. What is the best music to make love to? 

    funny, this was an ongoing topic of conversation with a [just-] friend a few years ago. We compiled a list and added to it often. What follows is a non-exhaustive subset of those songs: 

        Contagious / Saving Abel
        Figured You Out / Nickelback
        Control / Puddle Of Mudd
        Something in Your Mouth / Nickelback
        Control Me / Plants and Animals
        Strokin' [Re-Recorded] / Clarence Carter
        Dirty White Boy / Foreigner
        Fire Up the Night / New Medicine
        Close Your Eyes for This / Texada
        Go Fuck Yourself / Two Feet

        Ride / Chase Rice feat. Macy Maloy
        Closer / Nine Inch Nails
        Human Nature / Madonna
        Master and Servant / Depeche Mode
        Pain / Three Days Grace
        Freak on a Leash / Korn feat. Amy Lee

5. Do you consider yourself more or less sensual than other people? 

     more

6. Massage from top to bottom or bottom to top? 

     top to bottom

7. Do you have a "signature move"? 

     ayup
