Sex, drugs and rock and roll -- those are the three yardsticks by which modern men are judged. At 36, Dave Navarro already has two of them totally covered -- he's the guitarist for Jane's Addiction and a former gunslinger for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and his past dabbles in narcotics are legendary. Now Navarro is about to complete the trifecta in style -- he's marrying a Playboy cover girl. The man who can "fuck like he plays guitar" is getting hitched to Carmen Electra.

Wedding and bedding a sex symbol like Carmen is every man’s fantasy, but Navarro’s impending nuptials made us wonder: When a woman like Carmen is your sack mate, is it possible to fantasize about anyone else? "Sure it is," Navarro told Playboy.com. "Is admitting to something like that advisable? Probably not." As he was gearing up to headline Lollapalooza with Jane's, we quizzed Navarro on a few things he would more freely admit to, including his favorite sex slave fantasy, and one painfully memorable groupie.

1. How did you lose your virginity?

Dave Navarro: I was 13. I arrived at her house around 3 p.m. By 3:04, I was on my way home. I felt like a king.

2. You're committed to Carmen, but who gets your one get-out-of-jail-free card?

DN: It has always been Rene Russo. Why? Because she is sexy and strong, beautiful and talented, seductive and motherly. Frankly, I could be just as happy being her son.

3. Are you good in bed?

DN: I've always thought of myself as quite good. That is, until Carmen pointed out to me that finishing first doesn't necessarily make me a winner.

4. Are there any similarities between making love to a woman and playing a guitar?

DN: Well, the main difference is that I can usually make a guitar do what I want it to do.
