John Mayer: “I should be having sex with more girls”

John Mayer is embracing his status as a showbiz playboy, insisting he "should be having sex with more girls".

The singer's high profile romances with Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jessica Simpson have earned him a reputation in the press as womaniser.

But Mayer is seeking to shed the stigma attached to the title, and insists sex with more than one woman is healthy for a virile man his age.

He tells the New York Times, "I should be having sex with more girls... It’s crazy to me that in my head, that being 32 and dating women is going to get me in trouble."
