Jay of Jamiroquai:
The Emergent Funkateer
Would you like to shag to your own music?
"No. No. No. No. The trouble is, I mean shagging to music can be a pain because one tends to get in time and not really pay attention to the job at hand."
What's on your shagging tape?
"Well, Kool And The Gang's 'Summer Madness', 'Pleasure Guide', Joyous' by Pleasure, the whole of Marvin Gaye's 'I Want You', but that's just as a matter of course isn't it? The Isley Brothers 'Who's That Lady'."
Most intense erotic experience?
"It was actually quite recently; I met somebody who I was quite into and the erotica was kind of more love and I enjoyed that. There was actually very little sexual contact, there was no er penetration but it was nice. (Embarrassed) The most intense moment was well the rubbing of the (dissolves into giggles), the rubbing of member against other flesh. Just pleasantry, you know? She's gone to Goa but she's coming back soon... and we'd also partaken of some LSD. No wonder it was intense? Well exactly."
Ever had a homosexual experience?
"Not that I recall. I think I'll leave that to the chaps with the mustaches. Very nice, but not for me thanks."
First sexual experience?
"It was wicked! I was 13, she was 17. It lasted all of about two minutes, but it was fantastic. Much better than playing with yourself, anyway. She was playing a bit of a game, you know, I'm the older girl, you're a young boy, and she lay on the bed with a little towel round her and I got the horn and thought, Aye, aye, I could take liberties here, what's all this about? And I found out what pubic hairs were all about."
What turns you off?
"Er, women with mustaches. And girls that want to jump into bed too quick, man. That does turn me off. Especially in the perilous times we live in. I must say I'm very wary of girls who jump into bed quick, and they're in bed and making a V and I kind of think that's dangerous because if you do that with me how many other geezers have you done that with? Hairy armpits on girls. I've always thought a lady is a lady and shouldn't really have hairy armpits."
What's your favourite sexual fantasy?
"Ummmmm. Well, it aint being with two women. My ultimate fantasy is to make love with true love. I know that might sound bit boring, but I haven't really been in love properly, so it does mean a lot to me. Because then you can just go all the way can't you? You could do anything you like and you can get a bit harder and get into some role-playing and all that. It's good stuff."
What is a pervert?
"Playing with kids, sh*t like that, physical violence... simulated violence is good. Well, not good but if it's something that you lead on to so as to keep the relationship alive, like a bit rough and ready. But, but, but... I would draw the line early, I think. A good sling on to the bed and ripping off of the clothes is all good clean fun, nothing nasty. Just good clean fun."
What's the second thing you look for in a woman?
"The first thing is really the personality. The second is the body and the looks. The whole lot. I suppose it's the first thing, but they might be thick as pigshit, you know what I mean? You generally know. There's something about the quiet girl who's sitting in the corner, doesn't say a lot but is really cute and mysterious. Never the woman who's dancing on the table, or the one that grabs you arm when you're walking down the street. I'm too reserved."
Do you use a condom?
"Yep. Always. Always. I have had sex in my time without a condom, but that was a lot earlier on in my career. I'm a realist, I've got far too much to live for. There's so much more to do than intercourse anyway. If you haven't got a condom you can get round that. If you f**k like rabbits every day you get bored. If it's spread out, like say every two weeks then it's serious, and you look forward to it and it's worth it. And you don't get bored. Relationships are in vogue."
What's your most regrettable sexual experience?
"My mate said, Oh there's these two girls-let's go round there! And we went round, and his was alright but my one was not happening. Not the sort of girl I would have gone for at all. But of course the bottle had been opened, and as the night went on she started to look a bit better... Then in the morning I found myself in the bedroom cowering on the side of the bed. I was out of the house so fast! I just thought, Why did I do that, why did I bother? I felt like a fool/ I've never seen her since."
Do you use pornography?
"What to enhance...? Well pornography - I think they make such a big deal out of it and it isn't. I've certainly seen my share of dirty films, you know, Back Door Girls and all that. I just laugh at them anyway. I have used it when I was a bit younger. I wouldn't use it with a girl really. I wouldn't play that card now. Sex with one person is something that can last for ever so long, and you can really still be well interested and play all sorts of really good games. But... I'd save all that till I'm 30, then you could watch a video and say, Lets do what they do."
Have you ever used the Pinch Method?
"What's that? No I can't say that I have. I'll have to try it, thanks."
Describe your ideal woman.
"Dark, Latin American, big brown eyes. Nice and soft and sensual and warm and cuddly."
How do you rate yourself sexually?
"I'm very sensual and imaginative and, because I've been with a lot of girls over the years and I haven't always had intercourse with them, so I'e kept myself kind of clean and fresh. When I'm having sex with a girl, I'm thinking about her and... it's like a massage, if someone gives you a massage and they're not putting their thoughts through their hands, it's no good. I'm not Casanova. that's for sure. I'm just average. I could be Mr. Pinch and keep it going for hours with pinch marks all over me, but as far as I'm concerned I don't think there's anything wrong with a nice half an hour extravaganza. I'm a Capricorn, you see. We're late starters. The girl who gets it together with me has got it all to come. When they get to 30, 35, when they really want it, then I'll be there. Ha, ha, ha, ha, haa!"
Who did you fancy when you were younger?
"I fancied Stephanie Hart out of Hart to Hart. I wanted to give her one badly. And I fancied Jane Seymour, and Barbara Bach, I was really into those Bond girl types - I really wanted some of that. Pussy Galore, Honor Blackman. She was great and she still looks for about 70."
How important is sex to you?
"Oh, it's very important, but not more important than music. Not more important than my friends. And not more important than classic cars. It's not more important than a good nights sleep. It is very important to me. - I love it, I do love it. It's great. And yeah, I do take my hat off."
