When I flat-out asked Chrissie Hynde if she ever picked up a male groupie on the road, she said, “Never.” When I pressed further, and asked why not, Janis Joplin allegedly did it … Chrissie said, “Well, she was still going through her experimental days when she was in a band.” So, I asked, does that mean you’d already done that? Chrissie replied, “I’m not saying I’d already done anything actually, Lisa, but I’d already passed my experimental streak. Plus, when you’re in a band and you’re a girl, it’s just not the same kind of groove as a girl walking in wearing a coat with nothing on underneath or knocking on a hotel room door at three in the morning like the way it happens with guys.”

There are few women in today’s music scene sexier than Rihanna. She’s been rumored to have been with many men that she told me she’s never even met. She also said that just once, she wished she could actually live her reputation, because it sounded like so much fun. In 2015, she said, “I’m fine being by myself, because it’s hard for me to trust anyone.” What about all that wild, kinky sex she’s always supposed to be having? The whips and chains she sings about? When we talked that year, as I’ve previously recounted, she said she wasn’t really seeing anyone or having sex with anyone at that time 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 feel is tall enough, with big enough hands and it’s 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 the fuck. That is the truth. I can’t do it. I can’t do it to myself. And that saves me. It has a little bit to do with fame and a lot to do with the woman I am. If I wanted to do that, I absolutely would; I’m going to do what makes me happy and what makes me feel good. But that kind of random sex just feels empty to me now. It’s a hollow move.”

“Nobody can have sex with me unless I want the sex,” she added. “I hate when guys think they can make girls have sex. Girls are not having sex now unless they really want to. But people have this image of how wild and crazy and anything goes I am, and I’m not everything they think of me. I hate the assumption that sometimes, when I’m meeting someone for the first time, all of a sudden, it’s all over the place that I’m with them. It freaks me out.”
