Members Bree Posted January 18, 2006 Members Share Posted January 18, 2006 From Launch.com: 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. Ricky kicked of his One Night Only tour in El Paso, Texas on Friday (January 13). The 18-city tour will make stops in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago before wrapping on February 15 in Orlando, Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteveFrame Posted January 18, 2006 Members Share Posted January 18, 2006 I think the whole thing is almost funny but it is sad that some people cannot get beyond what happens in a person's bedroom and judge that persons ability to do good based on that. It is not like he said he enjoyed raping young children or beating someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Matt Posted January 18, 2006 Members Share Posted January 18, 2006 The fact that little Ricky can be a bit freaky endears him to me even more. I'd hop in the shower with him any day. All he has to do is tell me where to aim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Actor87 Posted January 18, 2006 Members Share Posted January 18, 2006 I'm confused. LOL!! As always... Were people thinking he was a pedophile when he said this or were they thinking he was homosexual or what?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Q Steph Posted January 18, 2006 Members Share Posted January 18, 2006 I thought he was desperate for attention with these comments and trying to prove his manhood. He got his wish with the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteveFrame Posted January 18, 2006 Members Share Posted January 18, 2006 I don't know actor. I guess it depends on if they know what a golden shower is. I don't think most people think that it has anything to do with pedophilia, but I guess they see it as a sexual perversion and of course to some people if you have one of those, you can't be good enough to raise money for someone else. And of course people get so focused on the sexual side of things that they forget about the good a person might be doing (i.e. Clinton getting serviced in the oval office). I mean a person's sex life should have nothing to do with an estimation of a person's worth - as long as like I said he is not harming innocent children, hurting others, or so obsessed with it that he gets nothing else accomplished in life. None of that is the case here. So what he likes to "give the golden shower". That does not change any ideas I had of the man's music or his social causes. All it tells me is the man is a little kinky - nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted January 19, 2006 Members Share Posted January 19, 2006 I'm not quite sure what you're confused about. He likes giving (or receiving) golden showers. That means that someone gets off by someone else urinating all over them, LoL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Matt Posted January 19, 2006 Members Share Posted January 19, 2006 There's not much I would consider disgusting. As a friend of mine said the other day, everyone has their kinks, just not everyone waves their flag. I'm very respectful and tolerant of other people's kinks and fetishes because I have quite a few myself. Besides, water sports in and of themselves aren't *that* big of a deal. Been there, done that (just last week, in fact). Don't have any interest in the drinking of the shower, but I know some that do and that's okay for them, just not for me. I wave my freak flag proudly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R!ck Posted January 19, 2006 Members Share Posted January 19, 2006 Actually urine is sterile And he could spank my butt anyday! ETA: I find it hilarious when people make a big fuss over celebs sex life. Like celebrities are not allowed to be anything but vanilla. All those "nice" celebrities are probably bigger freaks than we could imagine. Hell, just read Jacqueline Susan's "Valley of the Dolls" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Matt Posted January 19, 2006 Members Share Posted January 19, 2006 yep. urine is the most sterile fluid to come out of the human body -- nothing more than a bit of ammonia and some minerals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JERSoapsFan Posted January 19, 2006 Members Share Posted January 19, 2006 First of all, darraholic, enough with the misquoting me, hm? It was using your SLOBBERED ON FINGERS to eat cake with another person and her SLOBBERED ON FINGERS. Which is gross and undignified. And yes, this "Golden Showers" act is far more depraved than that. WHAT a freak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
