Some people believe that what happens in the bedroom stays in the bedroom. But we have to admit that when it comes to celebrity love lives, we do get a little bit curious. Thankfully, certain stars are more than happy to share. It might be a little TMI, but there are a lot of celebrity romantic confessions out there that have definitely thrown us for a loop. Whether stars are admitting to what they got into during their younger, wilder days, or what happens between the sheets with their spouses, so many of them have opened up in interviews beyond what we could have expected.
On one hand, it's kind of cool. We love that it's a sign of how much more "nooky"-positive our world is becoming. On the other hand, sometimes we do get a little taken aback by some of these stories.
(Hey, we're only human!)
And we have to admit that we can't turn away from juicy stories like these. Although some of them are definitely more shocking than others, there's something about reading up on celebrity couples and the personal lives they share that truly piques our interest
… and some of these stories are so out there, we honestly can't believe that anyone shared them to begin with.
We hope their partners are OK with them taking this stuff public!
So for the nosy, here are some of the most hair-raising celebrity sex confessions ever. Read on to find out what some of your favorite actors, actresses, and musicians have been up to in the bedroom — at least, the ones who are willing to be super honest about it. We have to admit it takes guts to talk about a topic like this so openly.
We've gotta admire them for that!
Vinny Guadagnino
Recently, this Jersey Shore star made a pretty surprising confession while sitting down with the Boomer and Gio radio show. Apparently, Vinny has slept with hundreds of women — potentially as many as 1,000 — thanks to his more promiscuous days at the height of his MTV fame.
Now, though, Vinny says he's a changed man.
"I've slowed down a lot," he said. "Like now I'm going back to my room. I wanna watch Netflix. I wanna just chill. I don't wanna be in bed with somebody. I don't wanna wake up to them the next day and like talk to them."
Cara Delevingne
When Cara stopped by RuPaul's What's The Tee podcast in March, she opened up about the fact that she'd rather give than receive in the bedroom.
"I, like, as a person, generally, I'm really good at giving love and not receiving it, and I'm kind of the same in bed as well," Cara said on the podcast. "There's a part of where I find it quite difficult to receive pleasure or love or things like that, and so I just kind of like to give."
There are plenty of people out there who appreciate that in a lover, but go ahead girl — get it!
Courteney Cox
During an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden in February 2019, Courteney Cox shared the story of how she lost her virginity. She was 21 at the time, and admitted that she was never comfortable talking about "the act" with her parents growing up.
"I shouldn't probably say this, but I will. I was a virgin until I was 21," she admitted. "We can be proud of that. I dated the guy for a long time, and my mom was like, OK, I think she's going to be with him for awhile. She sent me a pair of underwear for womanhood."
Pete Davidson
Remember all that talk about Pete Davidson and BDE (big … ahem … energy) after his split from Ariana Grande? He attempted to clear it up when he visited Howard Stern's radio show.
"I think she's just tiny. I think I have an average-sized penis and she's tiny. Everything's big to her," Pete said, according to Us Weekly.
Well, OK then.
Anna Faris
Here's someone who likes to spice things up. During a January episode of her Unqualified podcast, Anna Faris admitted she sometimes likes to wear wigs in the bedroom, just because of the fun element it can add when things start to heat up.
"Sometimes I'll put on, like, my short black bob wig that I have and I play a different character, because I'm actress," Anna revealed. "I like to play different characters sometimes in a romantic situation. I like that it sort of satisfies my sensibilities of getting to be someone else and it is also, like, a turn on for a partner."
John Mayer
In October 2018, John got real by admitting that he has, in fact, slept with less than 500 people. According to the New York Daily News, John went live on his Instagram show, Current Mood, and spilled the beans about his past.
And apparently, it's not quite what his reputation might suggest.
"What does it say about my expectations that if you find out that I’ve slept with less than 500 that you're kind of impressed with me?" he said at the time.
DJ Khaled
DJ Khaled definitely made headlines when an old interview on The Breakfast Club resurfaced last year, revealing he doesn't perform oral sex (he only receives it).
"You gotta understand," he said. "I'm the don. I'm the king. It's different rules for men. We the king so there’s some things y'all might not wanna do, [but] it gotta get done."
We're surprised he's made it this far with that kind of attitude!
Angelina Jolie
When it comes to Angelina's pregnancy sex with Brad Pitt, she didn't hold back. Back in 2008, when she was expecting her twins, Knox and Vivienne, Angelina Jolie admitted that being pregnant had made their sex life even more exciting.
"[Pregnancy is] great for the sex life," she said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. "It just makes you a lot more creative. So you have fun, and as a woman you're just so round and full."
Adam Levine
Back in 2012, the Maroon 5 singer let everyone know exactly why he used to sleep around (a lot) before marrying Behati Prinsloo. He just loves women that much, according to what he said in an interview with Details.
"There's two kinds of men: There are men who are f–king misogynist pigs, and then there are men who just really love women, who think they're the most amazing people in the world. And that's me," Levine said. "Maybe the reason I was promiscuous, and wanted to sleep with a lot of them, is that I love them so much."
Is that so?
Cameron Diaz
Ever wonder how Cameron looks so young? In a 2010 interview with Vogue UK, she said it's because she has lots of sex — yes, really.
"The fountain of youth? Let's see — I guess it's exercise, healthy diet, lots of water, lots of laughter, lots of sex — yes, sex, we need that as human beings. It's healthy, it's natural," she told the magazine.
Zoe Saldana
When it comes to what sex positions Zoe's into, she's not afraid to share. In 2013, Zoe was on a show called The Conversation With Amanda DeCadenet where she opened up about how she likes to have sex
… and she wasn't shy about it at all.
"I like missionary and I like being on my knees, too," Zoe said. "And I love being on top. I love doggy-style or standing up."
Good for her for being open about what she wants!
Robert Downey Jr.
This Avengers star doesn't necessarily need anyone else around to get down and dirty. As Robert told Rolling Stone in 2008, he's gone through periods of time where he just relied on himself to get his jollies.
"I was a compulsive, serial masturbator, but the funny thing is, looking back on it, it was the best thing I could have been," he told the magazine. "I utilized that organ and rode it for everything it was worth. I couldn't leave that little root alone, and I still very much enjoy its presence, but it’s no longer a motivating factor for me."
George Clooney
In a 2011 Rolling Stone interview, George Clooney got real about his first orgasm, sharing that he was in elementary school when it happened.
(Whoa.)
"I believe it was while climbing a rope when I was six or seven years old," he said. "I mean, nothing came out, but all the other elements were there. I remember getting to the top of the rope, hanging off the rope, and going, 'Oh, my God, this feels great!'"
Well, there it is, everyone.
Jessica Simpson
Jessica Simpson has always been known for telling it like it is when it comes to her pregnancies, and that includes her sex life. While she was on Ryan Seacrest's radio show in 2012, she admitted that she had some of her best orgasms while pregnant.
"I am definitely 'feeling intimate,'" Jessica said on the show. "I'm kind of unstoppable right now. The Big O is, like, the biggest O ever!"
Heidi Klum
In an interview with Marie Claire in 2013, model Heidi Klum admitted that it's important for her to be on the same wavelength with her partner. She also said that she isn't afraid to get a little dressed up every once in awhile.
"Some people are more experimental in bed and others are more boring," she confessed. "If you are wild and crazy, bring it on so the other person is well aware that you have little devil horns that come out every once in a while. It's good to make an effort to dress up sometimes, to do things outside of the norm."
Jada Pinkett Smith
It sounds like Jada Pinkett Smith isn't afraid to get creative with husband Will Smith. In fact, in a 2009 interview with Redbook, she revealed she's willing to have sex just about anywhere.
"Think of places outside that are comfortable to have sex," Jada said. "Does he have access to his office? Have a fantasy date. Be his secretary! Be sneaky. Your girlfriend's house at a party. The bathroom! A guest bedroom! Just switch it up. Anything like that can keep it going. Anything it takes to keep the flame alive."
Nick Cannon
They might not be together anymore, but when Nick Cannon was a guest on Howard Stern's radio show in 2012, he admitted that he still would have married Mariah Carey — even if she was bad in bed.
"It was Mariah Carey. If Mariah Carey gave a bad blowjob, I'm still going in," Nick joked. “Either way, she's still one of the most beautiful women on the planet."
A little crass, but still kinda sweet?
Kesha
Most of these confessions are about celebrities hooking up with real people, but what about ghosts? In a 2012 interview with KIIS FM, Kesha said she had a supernatural experience, basing her song, "Supernatural," on what happened.
"I don't know his name," Kesha said. "He was a ghost! I'm very open to it."
Armie Hammer
For Armie Hammer, things got a little bit dangerous in the bedroom. According to what he said in a 2013 interview with Elle, one woman tried to stab him during sex.
Um, ouch?
"One chick tried to stab me when we were having sex. I should so not be telling this story," he said. "She was like, 'True love leaves scars. You don't have any.' And then she tried to stab me with a butcher knife. Of course I promptly broke up with her. Seven months later."
Seven months? This guy's a risk taker.
Aubrey O'Day
Aubrey's confession just so happens to involve Pauly D. When she was on Marriage Boot Camp in 2018, she admitted that she and Pauly tried to have sex on a plane, but it didn't exactly work out how they planned.
"We were, like, trying it every which way," she confessed. "We had a blanket over us. There was, like, this really strange man sitting next to us in coach … We couldn't get the dynamics of it right, so my fantasy is successfully getting it done."
