Ricky Martin lives la vida kinky

"La ducha dorada" is Spanish for "golden shower." And, to the delight of drooling gay men the world over, it's a phrase that Latino hunk Ricky Martin is, apparently, more than familiar with.

"I love giving the golden shower," Martin recently told Blender magazine in a surprisingly candid interview. "I've done it before in the shower. It's, like, so sexy, you know, the temperature of your body and the shower water is very different."

Other Spanish phrases you might be fortunate enough to learn in bed with Ricky Martin? "Me gusta el sexo duro y morboso," or "I like it rough and kinky;" and "Pégame en el culo," or "Spank my ass."

That's right, Ricky likes it rough.

"I'm open to everything," he said. "There are moments for soft, gentle sex. And there are moments for a good spank in the butt."

While Martin was comfortable enough to come out of the closet as a piss pig, he still was too shy to come clean as a cocksucker. In a classic example of the pronoun game, he referred to his sexual partners as "lovers" and as "they," rather than "he" or "she."

Asked what an ex-lover would say about him, Martin responded, "That I'm the love of their life! I'm the best man that they've ever had, a gentleman who treated them like a lady."

A lady, of course, with a dick.

One more admission from Ricky: He videotapes his sex. Don't get too excited, though, boys -- he erases the tapes after he watches them.
