Talking to Strangers
Hooksexup asks deeply personal questions to people we just met.

Christina, 18

So, Bjork, what's the craziest thing you've ever done in the bedroom?
Brought in my swan costume.

Have you ever offended anyone in the bedroom?
When I've been too drunk, I've probably said something I didn't mean to. Like, if they asked if they were good, I probably said no. I'm honest, I'm a Capricorn.

What do you do for a living?
I'm a student, studying dramatic writing — screen writing.

What's the dating pool like in your major?
A lot of the guys are extremely strange. There's a guy who wears a leather trenchcoat every day, and it's kind of creepy. Like axe-murderer creepy. He just wears a giant trenchcoat and doesn't talk to anybody at all.

What's the best major to date, do you think?
That's a good question. I'm still trying to figure that out.

What's the most awkward way a guy's tried to pick you up?
By grabbing my elbow and then excusing himself, saying he was accidentally bumping into me. That was really awkward. I didn't know how to react to that.

Did he get a date out of that?
No. I shut that down.

Super Mario, 24

What made you dress as Mario tonight?
My roommate was Yoshi, and I couldn't resist when I went to the costume store and saw the Mario costume.

What do you for a living?
I'm a graphic designer [and a] musician.

What do you love about women?
I like really intelligent, intellectual women. I like to build up conversation, try to get to know someone. That turns me on.

What's the hottest thing a girl's ever done for you?
Vampire sex. Like, role-play. Pretending.

Were you the vampire or was she the vampire?
It went both ways. Dual vampires. I bit first and she bit in return.

How did you guys decided on vampire sex?
We were watching Buffy, and we were just like, "Hey want to go for it?"

Where's the craziest place you've ever had sex?
I used to live in this commune for four months of the year, and there was this abandoned hotel with these really old rooms that people used to live in, though no one's there any more. It was kind of eerie. There were beds and mattresses, but it was pretty dirty. I mean, I was in high school and I couldn't do it around my parents. It was gross. I wouldn't do it again. But I was really young, I was excited. It was like my first girlfriend ever.

You lived on a commune in high school?
Yeah, like, not necessarily a commune, it's a kind of community, we lived in this wooded area around Lake Michigan.

Have you ever offended anyone in the bedroom?
Maybe not. No. Well, I've not really been into it sometimes, but I don't think that's really offensive.

It's a little offensive.
Is it?

If a guy's not into it? That's pretty, like —
All right, I've offended some. I was depressed, what can I say?

Rica, 30

What do you do for a living?
I do business development and sales. And tonight I'm an off-duty police officer.

Do either of those jobs ever get you laid?
Yes.

Do you have any good stories about hooking up from work?
Actually not from work, but from a party. I can think of this really hot guy I met and we actually did it the first night and it was, oh my God, delicious. We went out and I had one beer and I can't drink, so I made a deal. I said that if I got some downtown — the oral thing — I would give him some. One thing led to another. I promised him that I would suck his lollipop, but I didn't.

Oooh, you bitch.
No, I did not! And the sex was hot, and we've been doing for about four years now. It kind of worked out, we're dating seriously. So I have to be a good girl now, I can't be a naughty girl anymore. But, we do flirt.

What's the best date you've ever been on?
The best date was [going to] SeaWorld on an all-expenses-paid trip. Getting to fly first class, getting to shop, getting to eat, getting to go to SeaWorld. Plus, I didn't know I was flying first class — so as soon as the plane landed in Florida, we just had to rip off our clothes.

If you like a guy, how do you show him you're interested?
The look, and the walk. And he gets the booty — you gotta slap the booty, because the booty has, you know, this jiggly, jiggly thing.

Has anyone ever offended you in the bedroom?
Yes. My favorite thing is oral sex, and if I don't get that I can be very mean. That's very offensive: I have to get what I want before he can get what he wants, know what I'm saying?

And men hold back?
A lot of times. There was this one time I put on my lingerie and I lay on a bed, and he came over and he wanted to have sex. And I said, "Well, you're not going to get the kitty cat unless you go downtown." So he was lying there and we were playing the waiting game, but you know, I turn my butt over, pull my lingerie up, shake my butt a little bit, and that kind of got the job done. So I wasn't offended for very long.
