Dita Von Teese has revealed that because of her burlesque show, photo shoots and previous marriage to Marilyn Manson, people expect her to be kinkier in the bedroom than she actually is.

She told the Observer magazine recently: “I like vanilla sex as much as the next girl. Sometimes when I date men, they feel they have to put on a show. I’m like: ‘Stop trying so hard to impress me with your sexual perversions.’”

But that’s not to say she doesn’t every like to experiment, and that she’s quite fond of bits of bondage and spanking when the moment calls for it: “I think a lot of people, if they were honest, would say, ‘Yeah, that sounds fun.’”
