With spastic stage kicks and kamikaze stage dives that put bandmates and fans in imminent danger, cock rock troglodyte Andrew W.K. embodies his musical mantra of "we shoot without a gun, we'll take on anyone." Offstage, however, Mr. W.K. hardly seems the party hard type. In fact, the only thing hard about Andrew offstage is his handshake, which could fracture several metacarpals.

When we quizzed the Detroit-reared rocker (who's rumored to be dating former Hole bassist Melissa Auf Der Maur) on his love life, he acted more like a curmudgeonly party pooper than heir to the hair metal throne. Quiet, intense and focused, Andrew took nearly all of Playboy.com's Dirty Dozen questions in a spirit not normally intended. And we got scared.

1. What music do you listen to during sex?

Andrew W.K.: No music. Silence. Silence is preferred. When it's silent I can hear every single sound that she is going to make, from the sound of me touching her skin to every breath she makes. And that's what I wanna hear.

2. What celebrity would you most like to have sex with?

AWK: No comment.

3. Are you a member of the mile high club?

AWK: No, those bathrooms are very small. Maybe if I get to go on a bigger plane, they'll have bigger bathrooms. I'd like to do that. I've been thinking about that more. Unfortunately, I often fly without a companion, but I'll have to work on that. And guaranteed I will work on that.

4. Do you still masturbate?

AWK: Yes, very much.

5. What's your favorite sexual act?

AWK: I can't pick a favorite. To pick a favorite would be to place one so high above the others that I consider equally grand. So I'd have to say my favorite sex act is sex itself.
