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




Emily, 26

Is there a certain type of guy you can't help but fall for?
Eastern Europeans; I love the Russian and Romanian guys. It just ends up being what I always go for. Of course, I also like the curly-blonde-haired guys.

Fair enough. I like balding men. I don't know why.
Bald men are getting more attractive to me every day.

Have you ever been offended in the bedroom?
Yes. When they just go straight for it, like two seconds later your pants are off and you're like, "What just happened?" That doesn't work for me.

I feel like foreplay is to remind woman why sex is a good idea.
It's true! It's true! Exactly.

Do you have any crazy ex boyfriends?
I dated a guy for five-and-a-half years, from when I was fifteen to twenty-one. We actually went to high school and college together. He basically turned out to be manipulative liar, a cheater, all of that kind of stuff. I broke up with him after finding out about this, and then he started talking about marrying me. He still called me after he started dating the girl he is now married to, telling me, "I still want to marry you."

What? Does she know about all this shit?
She knows we dated for a long time. I don't know the extent of what she knows.

And he was cheating on you the entire time?
At least for the last two years, and I had no idea. He even told all his friends that we had an open relationship! When he studied abroad in Australia, I ended up hooking up with one of his friends. I was like, "This is really weird because you're friends with him." And he was like, "But you guys have an open relationship." And I was like, "Um, no."

That's how you found out? Damn.
Yeah, it was pretty awful. The break-up was the messiest, because not only did we grow up together, but he grew up in my house; I knew his parents really well. His mom called me and apologized for raising her son poorly. It was ridiculous.





Andre, 53

What do you do for a living?
I'm a compliance officer.

Does that ever get you laid?
Every chance I get. Number one, people are amazed that I'm this age. I don't look this age. Number two, I'm in brokerage and sex there is just plentiful.

How do you pick someone up? How do you make your move?
First of all, I introduce myself to the person and probably buy them a drink. Just be cordial. It's very simple: no fancy lines, no questions about your mama or your daddy or where you come from or if you wanna get together. You like me, I like you, it's going to happen: the chemistry is there. Too often you mess it up when you add too much to it.

Do you have any favorite dates?
Well, the least favorite date is the one you have to work too hard for. The favorite dates are the unexpected ones, like you run out to the store for a container of milk or you're doing laundry at three o'clock in the morning and shit just happens. The ultimate surprise is always better then the preconceived notion.

Has anyone ever offended you in the bed?
Yes. They bit me.

They bit you? Hard?
They bit me on my thigh, in the process of what they called foreplay. That's not supposed to hurt.

Have you ever offended anyone in the bed room?
I've probably mortified people, yes.

How so?
By getting up and walking out the door. When it ain't right, you gotta go.





Kate, 26

Has a guy ever tried to pick you up in a weird way?
I think the worst is probably getting your ass grabbed, when there's no real line involved. FYI to men all over the world: it does not work.

Where's the craziest place you've had sex?
A fire escape. I was at a Halloween party at my friend's house. My phone actually dropped down into a trash can in the alley below.

Did you get it back?
Yeah, he walked me down there from the fourth floor.

That's really sweet.
It was a huge disaster. We had to go through the trash can to find my phone. It was not pretty.

Did you find it? Did it still work?
We did, though I had to take it back a couple of weeks later because it had all these weird things going on with it.

Have you ever had any really weird dates?
I don't know if this counts as a date, but somebody I'd been out with the night before — who I really didn't like and refused to hang out with the next day — decided he was going to bring me breakfast. So he came back with a giant doughnut — like, giant, the size of an entire take-out container. That wasn't exactly a date, but it was a very bizarre post-date.

Were you into it?
No! But I thought it was hilarious. I like doughnuts but...really? There was another time I was on a first date with this guy. Never met him before, we're having a fine time. He seems a little bit twitchy and kind of odd, but fun. He starts telling saying, "I hesitate telling you this, I know it's a first date" — he's being awkward, and I'm like, "All right, now you have to tell me." He starts telling me how he believes in spirits — in his apartment. He's says, "I really like my apartment because there are spirits, there's this really great presence." And he's like, "Yeah, I just can't move because I really like them. I know that's kind of weird but I think they're comforting."

Did you keep hooking up with that guy?
No, are you kidding me? I'm not going in that apartment!

This is an awesome TTS. Perhaps the best quote of the bunch, "I don't know what she's saying but she has large breasts." Or Tiny Dancer as dirty talk. How does that work?

BWR commented on 01/14

I'm trying to decide if I would consider a man who showed up outside my door with a giant donut a crazy stalker -- or my soulmate.

kel commented on 01/14

"Oh, you Tiny Dancer. You naughty, naughty Tiny Dancer. Hold me closer, you fucking seamstress for the band!"

FB commented on 01/14

Ditto Kel

yup commented on 01/14

That proposal story is really awesome.

aj commented on 01/14

Marissa kind makes me want to get tattoos and go screw in Belgium.

YUP commented on 01/14

I think the proposal story is just adorable. I can`t believe he tracked him down!

Dee commented on 01/14

They are a very cool bunch that you seemed to have stumbled upon. Marisa is just great, as a woman a little younger than her, I love her point of view but I do think Boston guys can be intimidated by an independent woman-Def!

fF commented on 01/14

FB: hilarious

HJ commented on 01/14

I think all (straight) men kinda feel, "I don't know what she's saying, but she has large breasts." Som gay guys, too, in my humble experience. Everyone loves the boobs!

DOT commented on 01/14

not me. I'm straight, I don't care for big boobs (I like them small) and i definitely pay attention at the conversation. You could be the hottest but if you don't have personality is a no deal.

vld commented on 01/14

I was wrong - vld is my new soulmate! Do you like donuts?

kel commented on 01/15

Instead of saying the guy was bad at giving head, Emily could have told him how to do it better. I think people need to be more outgoing about decrying ass-grabbers and foreplay abstainers.

KW commented on 01/19

Best TTS and best comments of all time.
