Rihanna admits that she likes rough play in the bedroom. 

The Bajan princess tells Rolling Stone magazine that she enjoys being "tied up and spanked".

"I think I'm a bit masochistic. I love feeling like I'm somebody's girl.

"I love to be tied up and spanked. I like to be whipped. And it's funny that I care. But I prefer to be spontaneous.

"Using whips and chains is too planned. You have to stop and look for the whip. I prefer them to use their hands."

Rihanna puts down her masochistic streak down to her childhood:

"I did not realise until recently. I think that is common in people who witnessed abuse in their childhood.

"I was always terrified on Friday because he (her dad) could come home drunk. That was pay day, and half of it went on alcohol."

Pressparty covered the news that Rihanna was this month's Rolling Stones' cover girl two days ago (March 29).
