The 'Jealous' hitmaker - who has previously dated pop beauties Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez - says he became a better songwriter and popular because once he lost his virginity and had sexual experiences his lyrics had more "genuine depth" to them.

The 24-year-old singer explained: "Any time I approach writing a song I think about the fact that since I started having sex my creative life changed dramatically, and my ability to write a song with more genuine depth, more reality."

The former Jonas Brothers star famously wore a purity ring during his days as a Disney star, however, he says embracing his sexuality and learning about sex has paid off and made him better at expressing his art.

In an interview with Wonderland magazine, he said: "Sexuality is important as an artist, to embrace and use it as ammunition in your creative life, and understanding that part of your life, and how it makes you feel."

Meanwhile, Nick also touched on the fact that he is seen as a poster boy for the LGBT society and he doesn't care about any negativity thrown at him for representing gays and lesbians because the impact he has on that community is far more important.

He said: "I'm totally aware of my intentions in any and all of my attempts to be an ally to the LGBT community. Starting in theatre growing into the performer I am today, I've made so many great friends belonging to the LGBT community. The positive impact is 10 times more important than the negative comments."

Nick is very forthright when it comes to talking about sex and recently admitted he would love to get spanked.

When asked by 'Watch What Happens Live' host Andy Cohen, if it was something he would be interested in, he said: "Yeah, absolutely. I've got a firm ass."

However, he was not quite so enthusiastic about being tied up, explaining: "Not into it. It happened one time, and it didn't end well. I didn't know what to do, it was all ... it was bad."
