Talking to Strangers
Hooksexup asks deeply personal questions to people we just met.
Jessica, 35
There's no way you're thirty-five. How do you look so young?
I do yoga every day. And a few other things.
What other things?
I'm a freelance writer, a TA, and a mom.
So you're married.
Widowed. But it was a long time ago.
Have you been dating since then?
Well, I was single for three years after he died, and then I met this guy online. Our first date was on Valentine's Day, and it lasted twenty-four hours. If he had asked me to marry him the next day, I would have.
That's great!
I thought it was, but as time goes on I'm finding out that maybe he's not that perfect. I mean, I love living in the city, and he wants to live on a farm. That right there tells you a lot. But what really gets me is that I always thought I was so independent, and now it's like I lost some of that.
So you might be looking again soon — what will you be looking for?
Confidence and nice shoulders. You need to look like you can pick stuff up and throw it around. I don't like guys who are too gentle or wishy-washy. I want a guy who's a guy.
Hypothetically, what would make for good sex with this guy?
A real connection. And knowing that he wanted me. If I'm turning him on, it turns me on.
Alessandro, 32
You are clearly not American. Where are you from?
Italy.
And what do you do?
I'm a research biologist. I work on medicine-type stuff.
Brainy. What attracts you to a girl?
Big eyes. And a good face.
Are you seeing someone?
I've been living with the same girl for ten years. She moved with me over here from Italy.
That's amazing. But you guys aren't married?
No, we're not. I don't give marriage a special meaning. Our relationship is good — it doesn't need a stamp.
So what's the most romantic thing you've done for her?
I took her to Paris.
Classic. How's the sex?
Good. We're on the same level and we want the same thing.
If you were forced to choose between never having sex again, with anyone, ever, or cheating on your girlfriend, which would you choose?
I would have to cheat.
Katie, 23
What's your relationship status?
Single and fucking!
Good for you! Who are you fucking?
Well, mostly I just get really drunk and fuck my friends kinda accidentally.
Does that get awkward?
Sometimes. I'm actually here tonight with a friend I fucked.
Well, was the sex any good?
I don't even know — I was blacked out. My roommate told me it sounded good though.
Don't you ever want to have a more intimate sexual relationship?
I haven't had intimate sex since I broke up with my boyfriend a year and a half ago. It just crashed and burned. So now I'm just staying single and trying to have fun.
If you saw a good-looking guy across the room, how would you approach him?
I wouldn't — I don't have the confidence, and I have trouble trusting people. I don't know.
But you do approach guys, right?
Well, yeah. If I see a guy I like I might go up to him and try to go home with him. And I usually get what I want, which is bad. But the more I know someone, the more I want to fuck them. I'm not really interested in people I don't want to fuck — I have very attractive friends.
