“Believe it or not, sex exists beyond the constraints of a computer screen—it’s a fundamental aspect of every romantic relationship.”

IVORY& GHOSTE
While musicians and models may be made for each other on paper, more often than not, their relationships never stands the test of time. However, L.A.-based rapper Ghostemane and NY alt-model Ivory Suicide are making it work against the odds. For our 2018 Sex Issue, we believe that it’s important to not only highlight the seduction of the sex industry, but to put a focus on real relationships. Believe it or not, sex exists beyond the constraints of a computer screen—it’s a fundamental aspect of every romantic relationship. Take a look at how Ivory and Ghoste navigate long distance, online fans, and hookup culture.

How long have you been together?

Ivory: We’ve been together for about a year now.

Ghoste: We’ve been together for a while, but it’s long distance because I live in California and she lives in New York.

How did you meet?

Ghoste: I was on tour and I played in New York City, it was actually on my birthday. And she was at the show. I met her through a friend and she thought I was a douchebag when we first met.

Ivory: Yeah, I didn’t like him. I was like, who the hell is this guy?

Ghoste: I didn’t do anything to make me seem like a douchebag, I just looked like a douchebag I guess. But I quickly turned that around.

What made things turn around?

Ghoste: We have really similar interests.

Ivory: Yeah, I caught him talking about science and I was super surprised. Then we started talking about science and pop culture.

Ghoste: We linked with the intellectual stuff. It’s kind of weird these days to find intellectuals that are into the same music as you.
