We had a sneak peek at Rihanna's sexy cover for Rolling Stone earlier this week, and the magazine has revealed new behind-the-scenes footage, more images from the pop star's spread, and several quotes from her incredibly honest interview. Rihanna wasn't afraid to open up about her steamy sexual preferences, naughty photos, and how she coped after being attacked by Chris Brown. She said:

On the inspiration behind her hit song "S&M": "Being submissive in the bedroom is really fun. You get to be a little lady, to have somebody be macho and in charge of your shit. That's fun to me. . . I like to be spanked. Being tied up is fun. I like to keep it spontaneous. Sometimes whips and chains can be overly planned – you gotta stop, get the whip from the drawer downstairs. I'd rather have him use his hands."
On why she likes sending naughty pictures: "When you're not with the person you want to be intimate with, a picture is the next best thing. Well, Skype is safer. But a picture lasts a long time. When you're alone, and those horny moments come up, pictures can be very handy. I haven't gotten a d*ck picture in a long time. I think people are a little afraid. It can turn out bad."
On dealing with the Chris Brown attack: "I put my guard up so hard. I didn't want people to see me cry. I didn't want people to feel bad for me. It was a very vulnerable time in my life, and I refused to let that be the image. I wanted them to see me as, 'I'm fine, I'm tough.' I put that up until it felt real."
On the aftermath of the assault: "We don't have to talk ever again in my life. I just didn't want to make it more difficult for him professionally. What he did was a personal thing – it had nothing to do with his career. Saying he has to be a hundred feet away from me, he can't perform at awards shows – that definitely made it difficult for him...But you can never please people. One minute I'm being too hard, and the next minute I'm a fool because I'm not being hard enough."

^ You've got to be kidding me. Can't take a few slaps? She took them alright, but she shouldn't of had to suffer domestic violence. What kind of attitude is that, you're disturbed.

' to have somebody be macho and in charge of your shit. That's fun to me. . . I like to be spanked. Being tied up is fun'. So, Rihanna likes to be spanked and tied up, but can't take a few slaps? hahaha... kind of stupid to say something like that.

She is so overexposed. She always seems to make such a point about her sexuality and preferences--whether it is in her music, interviews, etc. Okay, we get it. Geez.

^ Anon yes she was a victim. She said he hit her multiple times before that incident in the car. He beat her so brutally don't you dare say she wasn't a victim.

She was not a victim in the relationship or when Chris hit her. Both of them were victims to each other because she hit him first.

I think she's sexy and I like how she came back after the Chris brown incident, she didn't allow herself to become a victim and hide, she popped out, performed, owned herself again and I think that's inspirational. But however that may be, her interview was a bit TMI like you don't need to share everything about yourself girl, keep some thing to yourself, just saying.

People usually defend those who are like themselves and oppose those who make life difficult for them. Now...She needs to go away and hide her face somewhere. I'm sure her family's thoroughly embarrassed by her.

I don't see this as all that problematic. How many other pop stars have had risque interviews? Madonna, Christina Aguilera, etc. Her latest single is called S&M, of coarse magazines are going to question her about it. Lighten up, folks. It's Rolling Stone not Parenting Magazine.

Once upon a time she said something to the effect of feeling sorry for the guys out there whose girlfriends don't send them naked photos. Lady, for starters, get your head out of your ass. The sexual comments are indeed TMI and come across as crass and desperate, not empowering. Second, seek therapy and address the "Likes being treated like a doormat" issues. Third, get yourself some really good security software because you just invited every hacker out there to target your dumb ass.

Wow, could she be any skankier?

attention whore.

I think she's really going to regret giving this interview in a few years, or even in a few hours.

Really? Being spanked? I'm really fighting the urge not to make a Chris Brown joke.

Thank god this one isn't American. We're all stocked up on trash. She needs to keep that s* to herself. We know the music isn't selling...so now she's an Info-Ho? please find a corner little girl.
