New Jersey native Kal Penn plays a stoned, horny, med school candidate on a munchie run in Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle. In real life, Penn doesn't smoke or even eat meat, but he does share a healthy libido with his on-screen alter ego Kumar. Before now, 27-year-old Penn was best remembered as Ryan Reynolds's horny social intern in Van Wilder, and he also received critical acclaim for his role in the indie social comedy American Made. Jet-lagged from filming Son of the Mask with Jamie Kennedy in Australia and doing a press tour in India, Penn tackles the hard questions about having sex in the classroom and his talking penis in this Playboy.com Dirty Dozen.

1. How old were you when you lost your virginity and what were the circumstances?

Kal Penn: Eighteen, in my college dorm, when my roommate was out of town. It was kind of like out of a porno. There was this girl who was in the dorm student government with me. She came over to study, and we were legitimately studying for the first hour and a half. Then we started talking about stuff, and she was like, "You never have?! But you're a freshman in college!" I said, "I know, don't remind me," and then it happened.

2. What's the most unusual place you've had sex?

KP: In a college classroom. This girl and I were walking around campus at three in the morning. She said, "I want to give you head in the classroom." We went into our history classroom and just sort of did it to do it. No other lecture was quite the same after that because you'd always look at that spot and be like, "Oh my God, I can't believe we did that."

3. Ever have a threesome?

KP: Yes. You go to college a virgin, and you gotta catch up. These two girls were both flirting with me at a party. We were hanging out and talking, and I just asked.

4. What music do you listen to during sex?

KP: It depends on what kind of sex. If you're making love or having fun sex, Jamiroquai is really good. So is any kind of old jazz, like Louis Armstrong. If you're talking about angry sex, then.... I haven't had angry sex in a while.
