Hey Gene,

In response to your latest question " how do men and women make it work". To be honest with you who knows? However, you're most definitely right about the multiple partners when it comes downs to the us guys. All men single or married have that urge and desire to hit some strange if the opportunity should present itself. Lets be honest its all around us. At the Gym, Malls even at Church we see a fine looking woman and dream about being with her for a little while. Its tough you either have to be in an open relationship or do what you must to be satisfied.

All the best, Curt

Hello Gene!

My name is Marat, I live in Kazakhstan. I am a fan since 1999. I was really disappointed when in 2000 you guys started your Farewell Tour, because I hadn't a chance to see my favorite band live. And when last year it was a rumors about the new tour in Eurpoe I was pretty really happy, I've started to save up money, to go to Eurpoe next year. But I'm 16 years old and this year I am finishing the school, and in the end of spring and in the earley summer I will have an exams.I 've hoped that the tour will be in automn, but  I've heard a lot of unofficial talks that you will do the tour in europe just in that time! :( PLEASE, say that it isn't true!!!

Response from Gene:

We will be here. For a long time.

Hi Gene!

I was reading some previous posts and found one with a picture of the 711th Signal Battalion. My fiance is in that troop and has just been deployed and is in Iraq. He is probably one of your biggest fans. I was wondering (and this is just a complete shot in the dark) if by any chance you could and would (PLEASE!!) be able to email him on his birthday (March 10). It would definitely boost his morale. His mother is also a HUGE fan, and I know she has been trying also. If you would consider doing this, I would greatly appreciate it and I know he would too!! Please and thank you!!

I know that you can't grant every wish that every fan asks for, but this would truly lift Brad's spirits while he is over in Iraq. Again, please and thank you! :)

Thanks so much,

Hi, Gene,

     I was just glancing at the TV screen, and I caught Melissa Etheridge decked out in a KISS T-shirt while she performed on Carson Daly's show, and it got me to thinking about a question I'd been planning to ask you for a while concerning another hugely successful artist who happens to be a KISS fan.
     I recall reading some comments from you about producing Stevie Wonder for the Lenny Kravitz track on KISS MY ASS. You had said to him, "I didn't think you knew who we were," and Stevie said, "Oh yeah! I love you guys..." How does that feel? Obviously, Stevie Wonder has never seen the makeup, the outfits, or the pyrotechnics the rest of us come to expect from KISS. All he has to judge the band on is what his ears are hearing. This man has won over 20 Grammy awards, so he clearly knows something about good music. By way of his comments, he basicially said, "That KISS music is good stuff." All of this considered, how does it feel to hear such praise for your MUSIC from a living legend?

Response from Gene:

Great.

Simply put, women want one guy to always be there for them. Men want access to multiple partners. Trust me. It's true. So, how do we make it work???

  Any of you care to tackle the last question?

Sure, Gene let me. The secret to make it work is this: Both like to have sex with each other alot! Both will do things they would not ordinarily do and put up with conduct that they otherwise would not. The less compatibility, the more sex needed. Even if the guy cheats on the girl, he will still always be there for her, and she will put up with it, if the sex is great!

Response from Gene:

I don't agree, but it's just my opinion.

You recently posed a question on your website: "Simply put, women want one guy to always be there for them. Men want access to multiple partners. Trust me. It's true. So, how do we make it work???" I've decided to have a go at that question. I think Men and Women alike have to take into consideration what really matters to them. Is it Faith, Family, Love, Sex, Career, Money, etc... Finding compatibility is the key here. I've found a compatibility in my personal relationship, obviously, you have too. I will always be the bread winner in my household, I have a college education, my fiancée does not. We are both fine with that fact. My fiancée has considered staying home with any children we might have, and he's fine with preparation of meals, doing laundry, etc. If he had the better job, I would be staying home pulling domestic duty. Discovering and setting a guideline before a crisis occurs, is in my opion, the key to any happy relationship. If a gentleman wants to take on more that one female companion, that is his priority, BUT let girls know that up front, and if a lady desires the same, same rules apply. I've known many women who were fine with taking on more partners, but couldn't find men who were willing to share their time! I've known women who didn't call the morning after sex, and who didn't expect or want a call in return. Guys, the woman you want is out there! Wait for her, look for her! Don't go running behind the first woman with a crotch and silicone implants.

Response from Gene:

Er...can we run after that girl AND get what we want?

Here is a stab at the issue you raised concerning the imbalance between the sexual drives of men and women:

1. End marriage as a legal institution. It is an inherently religious rite and should never have gotten mixed up in state and federal affairs. This eliminates all controversy over marital rights issues, from same sex marriage to polygamy. Let any two or more individuals arrange any legal domestic partnership contract to their own liking, and let religious institutions perform marital rites according to their particular standards.

2. Want more than one woman?

Option A: Commit to more than one, either in marriage (find a religion that allows it), contract, or verbal consent. There are plenty of women who would want another female around. Serial polygamy is a cultural standard today, and once parties on the west and east coast begin displaying simultaneous multiple-partner lifestyles, the taboo will be lifted and the rest of the country will join in as if it had always been considered socially acceptable. Mark my words.

Option B: With the consent of the primary partner, offer self as a surrogate donor to a female looking to raise children without a husband (i.e. single parent by choice, lesbian couple, etc.).


I would not necessarily condone or repudiate either option, but each seems no less reasonable than serial monogamous marriage, which is generally harmful both to the principles involved and especially to their dependents.

Sounds good.
