Singer Mariah Carey, describes herself as a "prude" in an interview with Playboy in the same issue in which she will appear on the cover in sensual photographs, the magazine says.
"I end up being very flirtatious, and people take it the wrong way," she told Playboy, famousfor its nude centrefold pinup girls.
"I'm very much a prude. But I don't want to disappoint people, so maybe we shouldn't discuss that." Carey, 36, who has sold more than 170 million albums, appears in a flesh-coloured swimsuit on the cover of a "sex and music" issue which goes on sale in the US tomorrow.
