Rihanna Opens Up on Sex Life and Past Relationship with Chris Brown

In the November issue of Vanity Fair, Rihanna reveals she is not a fan of one-night stands.

She explained why by saying, "If I wanted to, I would completely do that. I am going to do what makes me feel happy, what I feel like doing. But that would be empty for me; that to me is a hollow move. I would wake up the next day feeling like s--t."

Ri reiterated, "That's why I haven't been having sex or even really seeing anybody. Because I don't want to wake up the next day feeling guilty. I mean, I get horny, I'm human, I'm a woman, I want to have sex. But what am I going to do — just find the first random cute dude that I think is going to be a great ride for the night and then tomorrow I wake up feeling empty and hollow? He has a great story and I'm like… 'What am I doing?' I can't do it to myself. I cannot. It has a little bit to do with fame and a lot to do with the woman that I am. And that saves me."

Rihanna admits her last serious boyfriend was Chris Brown, who she dated on and off from 2008 to 2013. About Brown, she shared, "I was very protective of him. I felt that people didn't understand him. Even after… But you know, you realize after a while that in that situation you're the enemy. You want the best for them, but if you remind them of their failures, or if you remind them of bad moments in their life, or even if you say, 'I'm willing to put up with something,' they think less of you — because they know you don't deserve what they're going to give."

Though the two are no longer dating, they are not on bad terms. "I don't hate him. I will care about him until the day I die. We're not friends, but it's not like we're enemies. We don't have much of a relationship now."

Rihanna revealed what she wants in her ideal man, saying, "A very extraordinary gentleman, with a lot of patience, will come along when I least expect it."
