Women have long been considered the sum of all wickedness. Something about our siren nature, which is able to distract, lure, bankrupt, limp, stronghold, harden, weaken and dilate a man’s – well – everything. Add money to the mix, and you have some interesting table talk.

My interest in the lure of sex work has little to do with the pedestal-izing of its workers, more so with their private relationships. Likely, it is difficult to carry on a typical, standard, monogamous partnership if your profession dictates you wrap your hands, lips, and lady bits around your male clients. Are sex workers, by nature, polyamorous? And what are the risks of telling or not telling your boyfriend or girlfriend what you do for a living?

I got up the nerve to chat with two really cool ladies, who are 100% comfortable and very erudite when asked to talk about such issues. In fact, as widely respected sexperts, they are frontrunners in the carnal knowledge movement. In this first installment of a two part series on love, sex, porn and polyamory, I chat with famed “prostitute and porn star turned sex educator and artist” Annie Sprinkle. During our conversation, I decided to roll the dice and ask her about a few other things I’m, ahem, curious about…Listen in:

Let us answer life’s questions – because great advice is even better when it comes from SuicideGirls.

Q: Last year I was sexually assaulted on a date. I really want to start dating again but I’m so scared that it is going to happen again. This fear has kept me from dating, yet alone spending any alone time the opposite sex. And to make this whole thing worse, I was never sexually active before I was assaulted and now I just don’t know what to do. I would some advice, thanks.

“SNL? You still watch that? SNL hasn’t been funny since Farley and Sandler left….Dude have you listened to the Verve yet?”

– My older brother, 1997.

“SNL? You still watch that? Even you admit SNL hasn’t been funny since Ferrell left…..Dude, start watching LOST. I have no idea how they’re going to end this thing, but it’s going to be awesome.”

– My best friend from high school, 2004.

“SNL? You still watch that? SNL hasn’t been funny since Fallon and Fey left….No, Matt, I’m not going to disconnect the Wii so we can play Mario Kart on Super Nintendo. You’re 26, not 80. What the hell is a Genesis?”

– My younger, ignorant sister, 2011.

As roughly 30,000 hours of DVD box sets and VH1 retrospectives can attest, Saturday Night Live occupies a truly unique space in the American comedic landscape. Since the show debuted in 1975 with John Belushi offering to boil wolverines, SNL has served as a generational touchstone with a comedic staying power unlike anything else of its kind.

Like his name would suggest, Aesop Rock is a storyteller. But instead of shrouding lessons on morality within recycled folklore, the hip-hop emcee cuts to the chase, illuminating the human condition through unfettered observations on the strangeness of people and the shape-shifting worlds we inhabit. Born and raised in New York, Aesop has never lacked for subject matter. One could say that the city chooses her storytellers, and not the other way around. Aesop’s refined staccato raps eloquently around even the harshest of big city truths, and when he zigs before he zags, the wordplay is nothing short of spectacular. His detailed, non-linear narratives explore the tension that exists between innocence and the sordid aspects of human nature; the self-inflicted identity crisis that exists when one dabbles in role play – when the virgin taunts the whore, or when the pornographer becomes the ice-cream man. As Aesop puts it, his attraction lies in what happens when “fluffy meets evil.”
