Christina Aguilera says she feels "sexier than ever" and admits that showing off her body comes naturally to her.

The singer recently appeared on the cover of Maxim magazine wearing little more than a plunging black bra and a white shirt.

Speaking to Jay Leno, Aguilera said that promoting herself in a "sexual way" comes second nature to her, suggesting that the recent Maxim shoot was a breeze. She said:

"For me I’m an artist and expressing myself in a sexual way no matter how that changes throughout the years is something that has always come naturally to me. At this point of my life, I’m 32 and I feel sexier than ever because you know what you want."

Aguilera added: "The shoot was all about appreciating the woman I've become and being effortlessly sexy, not trying too hard."
