Rihanna means what she sings in 'S&M'

Rihanna isn't lying when she sings about finding whips and chains exciting in her hit single “S&M.”

The pop star reveals in a saucy interview with Rolling Stone that those sort of accoutrements are a plus in the bedroom.

"I like to take charge, but I love to be submissive," she tells the magazine. “You get to be a little lady, to have somebody be macho and in charge…That's sexy to me. I work a lot, and I have to make a lot of executive decisions, so when it comes to being intimate, I like to feel like I'm somebody's girl."

Also on her list of turn-ons? Spontaneity.

“Sometimes whips and chains can be overly planned – you gotta stop, get the whip from the drawer downstairs. . . . I'd rather have him use his hands.”

Yet, truth be told, she's not getting a lot of loving right now. "I'm not dating," Rihanna admits. "I'm not even sexting. It's on complete nil."

Dirty talk aside, Rih was just as revealing when it comes to her personal life. On her decision to lift the "stay away" order against her former boyfriend Chris Brown, who assaulted her in 2009 and was subsequently barred from coming within 50 yards of her, Rihanna says it was her choice to make.

"That's my decision. It doesn't mean we're gonna make up, or even talk again. It just means I didn't want to object to the judge," she explains to RS. "[Chris Brown and I] don't have to talk again ever in my life. I just didn't want to make it more difficult for him professionally."

"What he did to me was a personal thing – it had nothing to do with his career," Rihanna continues. "Saying he has to be a hundred feet away from me, he can't perform at awards shows – that definitely made it difficult for him. That was the only thing it was going to change, so I didn't care. But you can never please people. One minute I'm being too hard, and the next minute I'm a fool because I'm not being hard enough."

You can read the rest of Rihanna's interview with Rolling Stone when the issue arrives on newsstands Friday.

    S&M=/= Abuse

    S&M is consensual, trusting, and fun
    Abuse is non-consensual, scary, and hurtful

    It is perfectly possible for someone to enjoy S&M and be abused.

    This too, shall pass. Rihanna has talent .. but like anything else, they will hype it until there's no more money left, and cast her aside like a McDonald's burger wrapper!

      Only if you want to see my butt hair. I'm sorry but she is nasty. There is not an attractive thing about her, and her music is average at best. Nice hair, is it naturally pink.

      Hey, I have an idea for a song that nobody has done before, Lets write a silly pop love song, run your voice through a synth, and have some dumb rapper lay down a few raps in the middle. Great idea huh, nobody ever thought of that before. Hey I have another idea, lets do it on every stupid song that you put out. That way, they will all suck, and sound the same.

      Rihanna, in a nutshell.

    Nice outfit. Is that part of the Kmart "Trailer Ho" collection. Somebody should tell her that if your butt is that big, you should not wear shorts like that. She's a pig.

    I know the difference between consensual fun and getting knocked around, Michael, I just like making smarta$$ comments to get people like you (with no sense of humor) all wound up. I am, after all, the Great White Snark!

      What you did wasn't that much of a smart*** comment that got a response. It was more of Michael being on his period.

  24. Like CB Like Rihanna

    Technology is great but it allows for every crappy opinion (included mine – sometimes) to be heard. Why are naysayers the loudest though? People get too involved in the personal lives of stars. Do we care what the customer agent at our telephone provider does? No, I think not. Yeah Yeah the whole role model thing but don't we have our own personalities and our knowledge of right and wrong. Oh sigh, I am so over this Rihanna Chris Brown thing. Rihanna has moved on, clearing Chris's fans have moved on. As Rihanna said – it was personal, not professional and the rest of us need to learn to separate the two. Do we want our co-workers or bosses all up in our personal lives, whether we had a dui or not? Seems though the media pick and choose who they want to keep hassling about wrong doing. They seem to glorify Charlie Sheen. Maybe if there was a picture of him holding a knife to his wife's throat there would be a different take on it though. Sigh. Good luck Chris, Good luck Rihanna. I do like S&M song. Very nice catchy rude girl tune and I guess no one cares whether I mean the words in S&M or not. One love all. Hatred and naysaying take up way too much energy.

  25. Michael

    Here's some education for you. Theres a WORLD of difference between consensual play between two adults and abuse and violence inflicted on a partner. One is fun, asked for and, if done right, safe and a turn on. The other, ie abuse, is not asked for, is not safe, and is criminal. I am assuming you arent old enough or wise enough to know the difference.

    Great PR stunt. If she lifted the order,she must not have been that afraid. She did it for him professionally? Yeah ok. If a man beat me like that, I would care less what happens to him career wise/otherwise. I cant imagine people actually believe her.
