He's been hanging with Jenna Jameson, Marilyn Manson, Courtney Love and Motley Crue, in spite of the fact that he's kind of dorky-looking. It was only a matter of time until former NYT music scribe Neil Strauss turned into a guy who just did nothing but have sex.

In a profile of the growing speed-seduction industry in The Houston Press, Strauss, who has a book coming out about the craze in September, reveals to writer Craig Malisow that he is, in fact, teaching speed-seduction classes.

"I really have love for the guys who are trying to learn," says Strauss, who's also ghostwritten books for Jenna Jameson, Tommy Lee and Marilyn Manson. Generally, Strauss says, guys don't give one another sexual advice. Conversations on the matter usually begin with "Did you get some?" and end with a thumbs-up or thumbs-down.

Strauss, who appeared (clothed) in a porn film while working on his book with Jameson, emphasizes in the piece that the goal is for the women to feel more comfortable around women and find a spouse, rather than just notch one-night stands. Yep. He said that with a straight face.—WL
