In recent years, it seems that celebrities have become increasingly willing to reveal intimate details about themselves.
As stars give a glimpse into their bedroom antics, many fans are privy to some very X-rated confessions.
The rise of podcasting seems to have given celebrities an opportunity to share more freely, from singer Christina Aguilera’s fellatio confessions to The Chainsmokers’ threesomes with fans.
For other stars, they’ve used memoirs to spill the dirt on their personal lives — like Will Smith, who revealed he vomited while having an orgasm because he had “unbridled sex” with “so many women” that it caused an “unpleasant… psychosomatic reaction’.
Amid the rise in celebrity confessions, MailOnline looks at some of the most scandalous sex secrets stars have shared in recent years.
Christina Aguilera

Christina Aguilera left jaws dropping when she made a series of provocative revelations about her experimental sex life during an X-rated episode of the Call her daddy podcast in April 2023.
During the chat, the Dirrty hitmaker, 43, revealed she’d had sex on a commercial flight ‘under blankets’ and ‘bent over a soundboard’ in a music studio – before shocking host Alex Cooper by confessing her preference for a specific gender action.
Xtina – who has been engaged to Matthew Rutler since 2014 – started the chat by revealing that she enjoys performing fellatio and said it’s ‘really important to be with a partner where you can really explore.’
She said: ‘Sexuality is a very specific thing, so what one man likes, another doesn’t’ – while adding intimacy ‘has many different levels’.
The star also described losing her virginity, saying, “It’s so funny that I gave this persona because I was probably the last person to lose my virginity.
Will Smith

Will Smith made headlines in 2021 when he revealed that he “gagged and sometimes even threw up” after an orgasm because he had “unrestrained sex” with “so many women” that it triggered a “psychosomatic response.”
The actor, 55, opened up about the surprising issue in his memoir Will, explaining how he turned to “sexual intercourse” to cope with the trauma he suffered as a teenager from his first serious girlfriend.
For months, the actor said he tried to cure his heartbreak by sleeping around, but instead it was so “unpleasant to the core of his being” that it left him “gagging.”
“I had sex with so many women, and it was so constitutionally unpleasant to the core of my being, that I developed a psychosomatic response to having an orgasm,” he revealed. ‘It literally made me gag and sometimes even throw up.’
The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air alum added, “Anyway, I was hoping to God that this beautiful stranger would be ‘the one’ to love me, to make this pain go away.
“But invariably there I was, gagging and miserable. And the look in the women’s eyes deepened my pain even more.’
Penny Lancaster

Penny Lancaster has been known to share some gems about her and husband Rod Stewart’s feisty antics.
The blonde beauty, 53, has shared the couple’s habit of cavorting in the back of limousines, saying she wears a red string around her wrist to warn Rod that she might be irritable before her period.
Penny also revealed that she really enjoyed having her man suck her toes, compared to a kiss on the neck.
“There’s a connection between the toes and other parts of your body, like the neck and your ears,” she explained.
“In the beginning of the relationship, when you try all kinds of things… (he did) that kind of thing between the toes, which feels nice,” Penny said, admitting that Rod used his tongue.
The chain smokers

In January 2023, The Chainsmokers shocked fans when they made a big confession during a raunchy interview on the channel Call her daddy podcast.
The musical duo – made up of Alexander Pall, 38, and Andrew Taggart, 34 – who routinely share stories about their sexual escapades – confessed to having threesomes with fans while on tour.
Speaking to host Alex Cooper, the pair said they have had a threesome with fans on more than one occasion, with Drew saying: ‘Does it count if it’s international?
He added: “I think we were both thinking, ‘What the hell just happened? Because they were never planned, you know what I mean?
‘It’s weird. I’m not going to lie.’
Alex added, “Oh okay, I guess we’ll just do that” of their threesomes, but said nothing had happened in “a long time.”
Drew also said that sharing hotel rooms in the early days of their careers made threesomes increasingly possible because “the European government doesn’t separate their beds.”
Charlie Put

Charlie Puth’s songs are so good that he’s earned a Grammy nomination, but fans may be wondering when inspiration will strike.
Sometimes it’s in the most intimate moments, like in June, Charlie revealed Interview magazine that he came up with his song Marks On Your Neck while he was ‘in the middle of the act’.
“Maybe I should have focused a little more on the act, but the melody just popped into my head,” he said.
“I actually stopped and recorded a quick ballot and then had to get back into action.
“But that’s where the melody came from.”
Cara Delevingne

In a not-so-well-received interview question from Graham Norton in 2017, it was revealed that Cara Delevingne had joined the mile-high club – and had an audience.
Graham repeated something she told him backstage, saying, “I think your shame threshold is pretty high,” to which Cara, 31, asked him, “Why?” with a worried look on her face.
“Well, we were talking about sex on a plane,” Graham continued, to which Cara responded, “Just like you.”
Graham then admitted that he had indeed had sex on a plane, prompting Jonathan Ross, who was sitting further away on the couch, to comment that “it doesn’t count if it’s with yourself!”
Graham then turned back to Cara, “You did it, and a man was watching it….”
To which Cara interjected, “My dad’s here by the way, sorry daddy…”
A confused Graham then said, “I was worried where that anecdote was going next!”
Getting back on track, he continued, “So you had sex on a plane and someone was watching you.”
Spencer Matthews and Vogue Williams

Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews revealed exactly how much sex he and wife Vogue Williams have in an interview in July.
The couple, who have been married since 2018, made a spicy confession on their popular podcast.
Despite being busy working parents with their three young children Theodore, four, Gigi, three, and Otto, 15 months, Spencer has admitted to having sex every night in recent weeks.
Vogue, 38, told the couple’s podcast listeners about a statistic she recently read: “Couples are having less sex than ever before — 30% less than our parents.”
Spencer, 35, quickly interrupted and exclaimed: “Not in our house! Okay, I’m going to put something out there and it’s going to upset a lot of parents.
“You and I have sex all the time, okay, so listen to this – we have sex quite a lot, don’t we? We are on a real hot streak,” he admitted.
“In the last three or four weeks, there’s probably only been two nights where we haven’t had sex,” Spencer added.
However, Vogue commented on the confession, explaining that they were going on a “hot streak.”
Amanda Holden

In 2021, Amanda Holden opened up about her sex life with husband Chris Hughes of 15 years.
Rather than let the romance fizzle out after the honeymoon ended, Amanda insisted she and Chris kept the spark alive.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge, 53, admitted her partner is ‘always up for it’ so it’s usually up to her to decide when they get intimate.
She previously said of their romance: “He can’t keep his hands off me. I’m actually telling him because I’m saying, “I don’t feel like kissing and groping while I’m trying to load the dishwasher.”
‘Chrispy is always ready. Always. So that’s when I decide. Poor guy!’
The media personality said she thinks being playful with your partner is the right thing to do, revealing that Chris previously dared her to jump naked on their children’s trampoline in the garden.
She said: ‘I would encourage everyone at home to strip naked and bounce boldly.’
