Adam Levine covers the June issue of Details magazine, the 33-year-old Maroon 5 hottie spills on his sex life and he even attempts to defend his man-whoring ways.
"There's two kinds of men: There are men who are f*cking misogynist pigs, and then there are men who just really love women, who think they're the most amazing people in the world. And that's me," Levine says. "Maybe the reason I was promiscuous, and wanted to sleep with a lot of them, is that I love them so much."
"I've always felt a little misrepresented in the world," he continues. "I felt like people only knew me as a singer who dated pretty girls. A little bit of a bimbo. Maybe I was kind of a bimbo. I was the music dude that was naked all the time with the girls, and that's fine, no problem with that. But I wanted to create a little balance. When The Voice came around, I thought, 'People now know that I have a brain.'"
Levine recently split from his girlfriend of two years, model Anne Vyalitsyna, and his former flames include Natalie Portman, Jessica Simpson and a whole lotta other not so famous ladies.
So why does he have a close connection with women? "After my parents split, my mom moved in with her brother's ex-wife -- my aunt --who was also newly single," he explained. "So I was living in a house with two jilted women, plus my cousin, who's more like my sister, and my brother, Michael, who we eventually find out is gay. Just the estrogen alone ... You know when you're 14 and terrified to talk to a girl? I didn't suffer much from that. It seemed very natural to me to talk to girls."
Wonder what his number is?
