Bajan beauty Rihanna has opened up about the sex appeal that oozes from her on stage and explained to Esquire magazine that she doesn't realise how provocative she can be. 

The singer, who was recently named Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive, revealed that her sex appeal must come from "subconscious" place because she never focuses on trying to be alluring when performing live:

"At the end of a concert, I don't feel like I've been this sexy thing. Really, I don't even think about it, unless it's a song that really calls for it, like 'Skin' or 'S&M,' or when I cover 'Darling Nikki'".

Rihanna even added that there's a part in her current live show that's dedicated to sexuality so that she can actively introduce it into her routines and said, "there's a section that's called 'Sex' in the show, which is the obvious section for sexuality."

"Like, really? Honestly, even if it comes across sexual — it has to be a part of my subconscious thought. It's never deliberate in the rest of the show. I don't even really... I could see 'What's My Name?' — the dancing is pretty sexy. 'Rude Boy.' But I don't know. I guess people find different things sexy."
