If you're already jonesing for more Eric Northman, don't panic.

Alexander Skarsgård is a very busy boy these days, and though he won't be biting into any hot young thangs for a while, the Swedish stud was happy to chat about his other upcoming projects, Straw Dogs and Battleship, with Men's Journal.

But biz aside, we were way more interested in A.Skars' sex talk. Especially when it came to a certain costar's private parts...

Unfortunately, we're not talking about Stephen Moyer—or any of his True Blood castmates.

We're talking about the prevamp days, when Alex starred alongside James Ransone in Generation Kill. And the two got pretty comfortable with each other. If you take a listen to some of the DVD commentary, you get gems such as James spilling on Alex's junk: "It's huge, dude. Don't be embarrassed." Alex then asks, "My ass?" James responds, "No, your c--k."

Uh, come again, boys?

 "We have the highest respect for each other's penises," Alex told Men's Journal about the convo. "We were in the desert for a looong time."

We'd love to hear the whole story, Alex (and if this have anything to do with Kate Bosworth's recent departure?).

Tho we're thinking he's going to play coy, as he did with all other subjects of sex in the mag. When they asked him about losing his virginity, the dude joked, "That was 2008, I think. Best eight seconds of my life."

And when they asked him about being named Sweden's Sexiest Man five times running, Skars laughed, "Every single day, I wake up and look in the mirror and think, Five times, mother--ker. Five times."

That said, he's happy to talk about his boob-tube alter ego's adventures between the sheets.

"I think he's just tried everything there is to try," Alex dishes on Eric's dude-on-dude action. "After 1,000 years, maybe he's just tired of the p---y for a while."

So perhaps we'll get some more male lovin' next season, now that Sookie's dumped him and all?

Here's one thing to keep in mind: Skarsgård doesn't want to only be known for those steamy sex scenes. "You tend to get a lot of offers that are, like, the hot guy," Alex says. "And those parts aren't very fun. I hope there's something more to me than my pecs."

There is, of course. You've also got your six-pack!
