Martin Regrets 'Golden Shower' Frankness

Ricky Martin is amazed by the furore surrounding his admission he likes to urinate on his partners during love-making, insisting he wishes he had kept quiet about his sexual exploits.

The SHE BANGS hitmaker, 34, has suffered a barrage of abuse since he admitted his open-minded bedroom tactics, and is especially hurt by suggestions he should close the charity he founded to help deprived and abused children.

The Latin star originally told America's Blender magazine, "I love giving the golden shower.

"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."

But in a statement on his website, Martin expresses regret over the debate his comments have stirred.

He writes, "(I never thought it) would lead us to an absurd political discussion that has become sensationalist.

"I demand respect for my foundation and our work."

I agree, this did seem incongruent with his public image. The real IRONY of this sudden burst of gross outspokenness is that ricky is so zipped up and obsessed with "privacy." For how many years has he held out on everyone? All things personal are strictly taboo, but then suddenly he blurts out, "I love to give the golden shower!" But, to me, that suggests that he really is a closet case with a million kinky things going on inside the dignified public image. That's probably why he stresses the " don't ask, don't tell" policy--because he knows the gossip would never stop if he let it all roll out. Hey, it's his prerogative. It's his life, he doesn't owe the public anything except a good show for their hundred bucks. But it was a little freaky. God almighty, the fansites were covered with nervous breakdowns that day the blender mag came out. That seems unbalanced to me. I mean, COME ON, silly girls, he isn't yours to cry over! This indicates that many of his fans have concocted an image of who they think ricky is, and it's way off-target. They have him all built up in their minds as this guy who has NO detestible male traits. He is their dream guy who doesn't act like the average jerk. Their dream lover is romantic while the average jerk rolls over and snores after five minute of bad sex. Ricky would never behave the way the typical stinkin pig behaves. Then suddenly they get this blast of ricky's hot PISS and it sends them into shock. I feel quite certain Ricky did it just for this reason--to shake off some of those love-junky fans who have unreal fantasies about him. But to say he should step down from his position in UNICEF is ridiculous. This is something that many women can't accept--that most men will get as crazy and kinky as they are ALLOWED to get. This doesn't mean they're BAD MEN. It's just that load of hot, dancing sperm they are always wanting to release. It ain't nuthin ta CRY OVER! As Ricky has said many times, GET A LIFE. But this is truly one of the funniest moments in Ricky's public life. Like, anyone who ever does a satirical cartoon of Ricky Martin will have to include this little PISS outburst. Ricky does all those photos of his face looking orgasmic while he stands under a stream of water. He knows it's a VERY popular item on the menu for millions of men, straight as well as gay. This is something too many people just have to get over. They want to imagine that somewhere there's a man who ISN'T a BONE-DOG. And it just ain't so. There's this whole subculture where many decent family men go to get their KINKS worked out. Their wives would probably gag if they had to get into this stuff with their nice middle-class husbands--so the husbands figure, "Hey, life is simpler if I just do this stuff somewhere else." Some of em are so straight and normal no one would ever dream that they turn into Wolf Man at the secret S & M club. Such is the nature of MAN. Love it or leave it, honey...

Although this is avoiding the topic of Ricky pissing all over himself and others. There are rumours that ricky was filming some surprise celebrity show and hid in a girls wardrobe, only for her to come in with peanut butter in all the right places and then call for her beloved pet dog to eat from them.Can anyone confirm this is actually true.PLEASE

I'm curious - you mention in your article that Ricky stated on his website that he regretted having revealed such intimate details about himself. First, where exactly on his website is this statement made? Secondly, can anyone offer a reputable source that can confirm that Ricky even said those things. I read the so-called interview on Blender's website - given the reserved nature in which Ricky has always conducted himself in interviews and how little he has always been willing to reveal about his private life (good grief - this is the man who would never give a yes or no answer to the question "Do you have a girlfriend?") - this entire storyline seems rather fabricated.
