One never knows when Marilyn Manson's being serious. After all, this is the man who once claimed Dave Navarro made a pass at him, announced he'd vote for George W. Bush, and sang "I am the idiot who will not be himself." So, when Playboy.com decided to conduct a Dirty Dozen with the often androgynous-looking shock rocker, we weren't sure how many, if any, of his answers would be authentic. In the odd interview, the Antichrist Superstar (who is dating Playboy's December 2002 cover girl Dita von Teese) recalled a pugilistic threesome, mile high masturbation, and hallucinating intercourse atop a giant whale. It seems believable enough.
1. How old were you when you lost your virginity?
Marilyn Manson: I think I was 16. I might be wrong. It's been so long I forgot. I wrote about it in my autobiography [The Long Hard Road Out of Hell]. But it was on a baseball diamond at about 11 p.m. in Canton, Ohio in the fall. I had gotten drunk on some stolen Jim Beam from my grandmother that I smuggled into my Kiss thermos. And it lasted about 35 seconds. It was pretty shameful and just something that I had to get out of the way.
2. What was your most memorable sexual experience?
MM: The one last night, because it just happened, so I remember it best.
3. What celebrity would you most like to have sex with?
MM: I think I found the one.
4. What's the most unusual place you've ever had sex?
MM: That's an odd question for me because people expect something strange from me. Often the bed probably would seem unusual. I don't think I've ever really strived to have sex in any unusual places. I think maybe in a movie theater. That was probably it. It was during a children's film.
5. Are you a member of the mile high club?
MM: No, but I've jacked off on airplanes plenty of times.
