5. In Meet the Fockers, Barbra Streisand plays a sex therapist for seniors. Do you think sex gets better with age?

TP: Absolutely. It's much better with age. You become more comfortable with yourself and your body, and women hit their prime later in life anyway. And I have to say, I'm in my prime right now and I'm pretty darn happy about it.

6. Do you think men need a little "therapy" when it comes to performing in bed?

TP: Because men hit their prime earlier, they seem to go through much more of an education earlier in life. At least half the men get a pretty good education in their early 20s. They seem to be doing pretty well. There are also men who think they are hot stuff in their mid-20s, and they still need a little bit of help when they're older.

7. What do you look for in a guy physically?

TP: Pretty much my entire life, I would admit that I would search for someone tall, dark and handsome, like my father. That was what I searched for physically and for the early part of my adulthood and I would have to say now that I'm finished with that. I can't even look at another man and say he's my type because nobody compares [to my boyfriend]. He's my type; he's absolute perfection. He's not too tall or short. I'm 5"7' and he's 5"11" and we fit together perfectly, and he has blue eyes. He's not the father figure that I was wrongly searching for my entire life.

8. You were a ballerina for quite a long time. Does being a ballerina have its advantages in bed?

TP: (Laughs) Yes. Men should definitely look into any dancer they can find.

9. How did you lose your virginity and what were the circumstances?

TP: It was extremely mundane. I had moved to New York and at 17 met up with a guy from the same small town in Delaware. We hooked up and dated for two years and he was the one that held the prize. It was very plain and ordinary. He actually didn't have any idea, since I didn't say anything. I figured, why ruin the moment?

10. In a fantasy world, is there a celebrity you'd like to sleep with?

TP: No. Honestly, not at all. When you work in this business, they're all just people.

11. In your Playboy interview, you mentioned you say "Jiminy Crickets!" to your kid instead of swearing. Do you talk dirtier in bed?

TP: Absolutely. I think there are all kinds of situations for the bedroom; making love, having sex, the one-night stand you can play out with your significant other. I'm into mixing it up and having fun. A little dirty talk is a turn-on for myself as well as my man.

12. Would you consider yourself good in bed?

TP: That's hilarious. I consider the two of us awesome in bed together.
