#33 (March/April) Masculine / Feminine

Welcome, dear readers, to our annual Masculine/Feminine issue, our chance to wallow in the joy, angst and general weirdness of gender and sexuality. This issue marks an exciting milestone: Party animal Andrew W.K. launches a new advice column and sits down with electronic superstar Moby to talk about monogamy, romantic guilt and whether free love is possible in the modern age.

Damien Hirst makes denim art. Gender-bender Bradford Cox of Deerhunter and Atlas Sound serves up an exclusive collage. Jezebel’s Moe Tkacik investigates the effect pornography has on couples and Cliff Kuang takes us into the manly realm of Maine’s lobster-and-drugs trade. Plus: Aussie comedian Jim Jefferies, artist Olaf Breuning and a touch of spring fashion.
