Christina Aguilera: I'm Sometimes Attracted to Women

By PopEater Staff Posted Jun 12th 2010 07:20AM

'Bionic' singer Christina Aguilera has never been shy about expressing her sexuality. Now the 29-year-old mother is opening up about why she isn't just attracted to men. "I feel sexuality to be very empowering," Aguilera tells U.K.'s Company magazine in its July issue (via PEOPLE.) "I think men love to believe that they own our sexuality, so if a woman represents herself in a sexual way, people think, 'Oh it must be for a man.'"

"But men don't have the right to own our sexuality," she says. "If I want to be sexual, it's for my own appreciation and enjoyment! That's why I like to talk about the fact that sometimes I am attracted to women. I appreciate their femininity and beauty."

Th' 'Dirty' singer says the revelation isn't something new. Instead, she's always tried to use her music to empower women because "we shouldn't be ashamed of ourselves or our bodies."

But Aguilera insists she's not leaving husband Jordan Bratman to explore her sexuality. She's content with the man she married almost five years recalling the first time the two met. "Everything was a little blurry and he was the one concrete person that I could trust."

"He was centered, grounded and always helped me see the positive in the negative. He would lift me out of my black hole of sometimes feeling sucked in by the negativity of people around me. My husband is the calm in the storm."

Though she acknowledges "you have to work at all relationships," she says, "He definitely makes life easier."

@Rylan "So if you express how you feel about sexuality you're screaming for attention? She believes sexuality is about improveme"

That's a load of crap! This talented young woman has one of the greatest voices ever but it's easy to overlook that because she is more concerned with people seeing what a 'sexy beast' she is. Christina, cut the crap. Just sing... your sexiness will shine through. Naturally.

Hey Christina: I'm sometimes attracted to women, too, but I'm
a guy. As for your sexual preserences, who cares?

By matt

SOUNDS LIKE SHE JUST NEEDS A GOOD POKING IN HER DIRT BOX!

By dumb

she said "I appreciate their femininity and beauty."

DOESNT MEAN SHE WOULD SAY SHE'S LESBIAN OR ANYTHING ELSE JUST TO PUMP UP SOME POPULARITY.

IF YOU WANT TO JUDGE ANYONE, PUT DOWN YOUR APATHY FIRST.

HEY DUMB
WHAT IS APATHY

I WILL PUT MY BONE UP INHER

By icdou007

Oh freckin please, of course she is saying that, read between the lines, naive.

By Diana

It is a pathetic attempt for attention.
Its sad that anyone feels the need to share such personal, and private information to sell a cd.
Christina must not have much respect for herself, or her son.

That's being judgemental you don't know Christina she has a lot of respect for herself and her son. Quit judging Diana.

By dnclilsistrdnc

Christina is talented, but advice to her....................Less Is More, she seems to get stranger and stranger. She does not need all the circus acts to sing. Sometimes I wish she wouldn't speak. Enough Christina, too much information. Think of your child growing up, he will have to deal with it.

By dorahelen

I LIKE HER BETTER THAN THE REST OF THE YOUNGER SINGERS - WHY DID SHE HAVE TO SAY SUCH A STUPID THING! ....NOW WHEN I SEE HER - I SEE HER IN A DIFFERENT WAY.....

HOWEVER, MAYBE SHE MEANS THAT SHE THINKS THEY ARE CUTE OR PRETTY - I CAN LOOK AT ANOTHER FEMALE AND SAY - SHE'S CUTE OR SHE'S UGLY.....MAYBE THAT IS WHAT SHE MEANS.....??

By kluji

I wish she would just stop talking, pull down her panties and bend over!

By Brooke

Really, nothing else going on the world that Christina could talk about. Nothing at all. BP? The War? Bad pop music? I grow tired of her.

By upiorzyca

i'm a guy and always attracted to women. why doesn't someone write an article about me?

By ummm?!

Oh boy.. Another woman voicing her attraction to other women!! Anything to draw publicity and attention to herself. Is this the new celebrity trend?

By Sharon
