Q: "Are highly fashionable people better in bed?” A: "Good fashion is a way of getting attention; being good in bed is how you prove you deserve it.”
Chevon, 20, student
Why are highly fashionable people better in bed?
It’s having the ego to make a bold statement. You’re asserting that you are good. Good fashion is a way of getting attention; being good in bed is how you prove you deserve it.
What would you wear if you’re were going out specifically to get laid?
Black.
Why black?
I love black — it’s so simple, so neutral, and so flexible. It could either be black and subtle or black and sexual. Or peach, for the contrast on me, to stand out.
What designer makes the best fuck-me heels?
Louboutin wins hands down. In American society, you immediately associate red with sex. The little peek you get of red soles as you’re just walking away, there’s something there.
Which designer would you change genders for?
I’ve never had an Asian, so I’d have to say Alexander Wang. He’s a little short but I’d have to pick him. And I would definitely go gay for Gabbana.
Would you ever have sex in exchange for a Louis Vuitton bag?
Depends on the guy. If he’s Swedish, if he’s tall, then yes. There’s something about Swedish fashion that really gets me.
What is the ugliest, weirdest, creepiest dude you’d have sex with for a designer bag? Like how far would you go?
How far would I go? I wouldn’t hit above 170 lbs. Like a hockey player with a little beer belly.
What's the most stylish way to wear your pubic hair?
I love my mohawk. I get Brazilian waxes and I have to get my mohawk. The other day though, I was flipping through a magazine and I thought, what I’d really like is a long strip of mohawk with cheetah print.
You’d get spots dyed on?
You get the wax put in dots. How sexy would that be? That would be ill.
I just found out that my girlfriend has slept with a ton of guys. I’m totally weirded out and don’t know how to deal with the news. Especially because I’ve been with half as many women. Is my girlfriend a slut? Am I a prude?
No. I think in American society we have this prejudice against female sexuality. I say fuck that. That’s in the past. If she’s not cheating on you in the present, don’t worry about it. If anything, make sure she teaches you everything she knows.
My long-term girlfriend broke up with me and I was heartbroken, while she seemed to be moving on just fine. But every now and then she’ll call me up and come over and seduce me. I feel used and I think it degrades what we once had. How do I get her to stop playing with my emotions?
First of all, build your confidence up. The reason you keep bringing her back is that you lack that confidence. And then find a new girl who makes you happy. And then completely cut off the old girl. There’s no other way.
What’s your opinion on porn? Can it be a nice supplement in a relationship? Or would you freak if you caught a stash in your boyfriend’s underwear drawer?
It depends on how he uses it. If he wants to watch porn while we’re having sex, or instead of having sex, that’s a definite no. If it’s foreplay, then yes. Just make sure that I’m the main attraction.

Why are highly fashionable people better in bed?
I think it’s an aesthetics thing. I think if you’re used to seeing beauty, cultivating beauty, that you just have an innate sense of what’s going to work in bed.
What would you wear if you were going out specifically to get laid?
See, I’m not a girl who does one-night stands.
How about on the third date?
You mean underneath or on top?
On top, first.
Something beautiful and comfortable that I could move in, because I think that also translates when you want to be with someone later on in the night.
And underneath?
Something a little bit of a tease. Sheer, pretty, feminine.
Do you have a favorite brand of lingerie?
I like Cosabella.
What designer makes the best fuck-me heels?
I like Marni. I would say if I wanted to feel fierce I would put on some Marni pumps.
What designer would you go gay for?
Tom Ford, right? He’s so beautiful.
I’ve been wondering why no one mentioned him. He is gorgeous and incredibly sexual.
He is so beautiful.
Would you ever have sex in return for a free Louis Vuitton bag?
A Dries van Noten bag. I would consider it, but only if the person looked clean and they flossed.
What's the most stylish way to wear your pubic hair?
Au natural. I was born in the ‘70s. Why mess with it?
My boyfriend and I have been together for awhile. Whenever he drinks, he has trouble keeping it up. I don’t want to turn him into a teetotaler, but it’s ruining our vibe. Are there any ways to help him out?
Just have sex before you go out.
The guy I’m sleeping with says he doesn’t want to get serious, but I really like him, and think he would make a great boyfriend. How can I change his mind?
I mean, have we ever been able to change a man who doesn’t want to change? I think the answer is no. If you enjoy sleeping with him, sleep with him, but you might want to look elsewhere for a boyfriend.
My long-term girlfriend broke up with me and I was heartbroken, while she seemed to be moving on just fine. But every now and then she’ll call me up and come over and seduce me. I feel used and I think it degrades what we once had. How do I get her to stop playing with my emotions?
You’re being used. If you weren’t feeling hurt and you wanted to sleep together fine. You’re familiar with each other’s bodies, you know you’re going to have fun. But if you feel bad about it, she’s not respecting you.
What’s your opinion on porn? Can it be a nice supplement in a relationship? Or would you freak if you caught a stash in your boyfriend’s underwear drawer?
Everyone has fantasies. My only problem goes back to the first question: I find it so aesthetically disgusting. If there was like…
French Playboy?
Yeah, something gorgeous. In American porn, women say the same things, they look the same way, they have the same shoes, it’s just very standard. That’s more offensive to me than what they’re actually doing. If I found a boyfriend’s stash, I might tuck it back away, and buy him some French porn for his birthday!

Did you design your headpiece?
Yes, it’s my own brand. I love headbands. It’s made from deer antlers, but I love nature so I’d never kill a deer. It’s a found-object that I decorated.
Are highly fashionable people better in bed?
I think so. Fashionable people feel free, and they enjoy freedom. They are open-hearted about all they do.
What would you wear if you were going out specifically to get laid?
My best dress. It’s a long, secret dress. And I’d wear pink or red lipstick, because it’s so sexy.
Which designer makes the best fuck-me heels?
Actually, I love Jeffrey Campbell. Do you see my shoes?
Which male designer would you change genders to sleep with?
Alexander McQueen. I’m so sad about his death. I was in his shop tonight and I took a lot of pictures.
Would you ever have sex in exchange for a free Louis Vuitton bag?
No. I have a boyfriend and I really love him.
What's the most stylish way to wear your pubic hair?
Of course I shave. Everything — I feel comfortable like that. You know what I mean?
I do. My boyfriend and I have been together for awhile. Whenever he drinks, he has trouble keeping it up. I don’t want to turn him into a teetotaler, but it’s ruining our vibe. Are there any ways to help him out?
You can drink with him. You’ll both feel drunk. You can strip dance for him and he can dance for you.
Will that lead to sex? Or just drunken dancing?
Oh, I don’t know.
The guy I’m sleeping with says he doesn’t want to get serious, but I really like him, and think he would make a great father. How can I change his mind?
Change your mind. Find another boy who really loves you and who really wants to make a family with you. That’s really serious stuff — you can’t push someone else into that.
I just found out that my girlfriend has slept with a ton of guys. I’m totally weirded out and don’t know how to deal with the news, especially because I’ve been with half as many women. Is my girlfriend a slut? Am I a prude?
She is a slut! She’s so crazy. Man, you sound like a lot of fun.
So what would you say to the guy?
Oh poor, poor boy. It must be really difficult to live in New York and never have sex.
What’s your opinion on porn? Can it be a nice supplement in a relationship? Or would you freak if you caught a stash in your boyfriend’s underwear drawer?
I think that porn is good. Good for your mind and for skills. You can watch it together with your boyfriend!
