Enrique Iglesias has offered his thoughts on singing about sex.

The sultry star is due to release his new album 'Sex + Love' on March 17 and it will be preceded by the single 'I'm a Freak'.

Speaking to Digital Spy, Iglesias suggested that his new tune would be a "dog" if it was an animal.

He later said: "You think I'm humping all the time?! Look, sex is something that instigates a lot of ideas when it comes to music. What I like about sex is that it can be raw, mature, stupid, fun, passionate. That's why I called the new album 'Sex + Love'."

"When I sit down and write songs, those are the feelings that are predominant. You can't get away from it. People have a tendency to judge you through your music. Just because I sing about sex it doesn't mean I'm always having sex - sometimes it's a fantasy, I'm fantasising about it."

The single 'I'm a Freak' meanwhile will be released on March 9.
