More about: John Mayer

Doe-eyed lothario John Mayer reassured an interviewer on Instagram live this week that he’s never masturbated to his own music – but hinted that back in the day he may have enjoyed a sly tug in front of popular rock and pop channel MTV.

"I don't think I've masturbated to any music, except when I was much younger and MTV was all there was for a young man.”

Well then. Actress and Instagram personality Cazzie Davis asked the lady-friendly bluesman point blank if he’s ever bled the weasel to his own soulful output.

“In what world do you imagine that a man would masturbate to his own music?"

Fair enough. Elsewhere during their chat, Mayer – who counts Jennifer Anniston, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian among his exes – was asked just how many ladies he’s had the pleasure of getting intimate with.

The answer is about 500. ‘A soft 500’ to be precise.

Apparently, he has (predictably) been asked to play his music in the run up to making whoopee.

"If it's after a show and a girl asks, 'Sing Your Body is a Wonderland,' do you want to be the kind of guy who goes, 'No,' or do you want to be the kind of guy that goes like, 'We've got the afternoon…?’”

“You want to play along," he smirked.

Cool. Anyway, the real take-home is that the geezer your girlfriend thinks about when you’re putting the moves on used to burp the worm to MTV. And that’s that.
