Ricky Martin Angered By Backlash From His Sexy 'Blender' Interview

First those pictures on the beach and now this....

Ricky Martin has struck back at critics who have attacked his ability to run his humanitarian foundation because of controversial statements the pop star made about his sex life in Blender magazine. In a letter in Spanish posted on Univision.com, Ricky said, "At the time I granted the interview never did it cross my mind that my comments would spark this absurd and sensationalist public discussion. I cannot avoid speculation about my career and life, but I cannot allow those for whom my foundation works to be affected because I am a public figure."


The backlash stems from an interview published last month, in which Ricky told Blender, "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." Ricky went on to say, "I'm open to everything. There are moments for soft, gentle sex. And there are moments for a good spank in the butt."


The Ricky Martin Foundation is an advocate for children's rights and is actively involved in the fight against human trafficking. Ricky is also a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF.

Wait, did Ricky Martin actually confuse sex in the shower with urolagnia?! That's priceless!

Amigos,
A través del tiempo, he aprendido que inmiscuirse en la vida de otros es naturaleza humana y a pesar de que me indigna lo he aceptado como una realidad de la carrera que escogí seguir.

En días pasados he sido eje de una controversia pública desatada en mi país que amenaza con manchar el buen nombre de la Fundación Ricky Martin. De primera intención decidí recurrir a la dignidad del silencio como en tantas otras ocasiones. Sin embargo, es tiempo de reaccionar.

En ánimo de poner las cosas en su justa perspectiva, les aclaro que al momento de conceder entrevistas jamás pasa por mi mente que mis expresiones pudieran llevarnos a una discusión pública absurda que llegue al sensacionalismo.

El único responsable de mis expresiones soy yo...Un hombre, de 34 años que todos los días aprende y evoluciona. Aunque mi nombre sea Ricky Martin y mi vida sea un libro de especulaciones, de conjeturas recuerden que ante todo soy, un hijo, un hermano, un tío, un amigo y un puertorriqueño.

Sobre mi carrera y mi vida, no puedo evitar que especulen, pero no puedo permitir que amparados en mí condición de figura pública se afecten aquellos por quienes trabajamos en la Fundación. Los menores con quienes estamos comprometidos no pueden ser penalizados. Ellos no deben ser perjudicados, ni se les debe negar una oportunidad de bienestar empañando el buen nombre que ha construido la Fundación Ricky Martin, esto es hacer daño a terceros y es algo totalmente innecesario.

Es una cobardía de aquellos que se atreven pasar juicio sobre mis expresiones en ánimo de afectar el buen nombre de mi Fundación. Esto es inaceptable para mí. Por eso exijo respeto para mi Fundación y nuestra labor. Desde sus inicios, la Fundación Ricky Martin ha sido un bastión de lucha por el porvenir de nuestra niñez. Con la colaboración de importantes aliados de todos los sectores que nos han ayudado y nos continuarán ayudando seguiremos alcanzando grandes logros.

Somos un equipo de guerreros y nuestra misión es asegurar una mejor calidad de vida a millones de menores a quienes, día a día, se les violentan sus derechos. No les nieguen esta oportunidad de un mejor futuro. Al redactar estas líneas, al igual que cuando compongo música, me desahogo. Les aseguro que estoy en paz.

Ni veneno, ni rencor tengo en mi alma.
Ricky Martin
That's the letter he wrote to Univision.

So he admitted he has had sex in the shower?

So....?

Other than his misunderstanding of the term "golden shower" I don't really see where there is a problem here.

I'm not sure he did misunderstand. It's hard to tell.

He didn't misunderstand it. When he says "temperature of your body" he's talking about the temperature of your pee. Yuck.

Other quotes from the interview:

"I love a good Pasadena Mudslide."

"I always go for the Roman Facemask."

"Then I go for the Icy Mike."

"I can't remember the last time sex with a woman didn't end with an Angry Chef."

What, does he take "cold" or "lukewarm" showers?

How the hell can you possibly tell the difference between the temp of urine and actual hot shower water? I would imaging that a typical shower might be, what, 100 degrees? How does one tell the difference by a few degrees?

Maybe he can tell because one liquid is going down and one liquid is going up.
