When I make love, my body contains multitudes, just like Walt Whitman said. My chiseled, Greco-Roman figure thrusts fore and aft like a great earth spirit. Beads of sweat bloom on my Jason Stackhouse-esque abs like morning dew on grass at the Creation. No one—man or woman—can resist the passion with which I make the beast with two backs. That’s why I’m a shoo-in at the Air Sex World Championships.

At night, wilis rise from graveyards dressed in wedding gowns to seduce young men who pass by. It was this legend of the wilis, as codified by the 18th-century German poet Heinrich Heine, that inspired the 1841 ballet Giselle. Read more >>
