R&B Singer, Mario, talks SEX!

Oooooh my goodness! One of my fave bloggers, Necole Bitchie , did a phone interview with my future boo, Mario, and let's just say dude opened up about his personal life A LOT!

SEX, SEX, and more SEX! Peep the interview below!

I found out just how much he’s grown up when I contacted him last week while he was on the road for BET’s 106 and Park tour. Mario’s is currently promoting his new album D.N.A and my intentions were to find out what he had in store for his fans with this new project. However, our phone conversation somehow went stage left. Mario was surprisingly very open about his love life and he wanted to talk about mine as well. We also traveled into the territory of Sex.

"Let’s talk about sex baby? Since my album did not talk about sex enough for you lets talk about it"

I mean come on, the Mario I remember was 14, singing about “she’s just a friend” so him wanting to talk about sex caught me off guard! But, yes we went there

"I’m all in your mouth"

Mario: What’s up love how are you?

Necole: I feel like I been stalking you for this interview.

Naw, its all good. You could have waited until I came to ATL to do it in person. But, you are going to be too busy enjoying the show.

Yeah, its going to be a lot going on.

Yeah, but you know I got a special side for you baby. I also had a good time at your birthday party.

You know what the feed back was that everyone thought you were so down to earth and so pleasant.

Yeah, we had a good time baby.

So you have this album coming out on Tuesday, are you excited?

Very excited. You probably can not hear it in my voice because I have not slept in three days. I’m crazy right now but its all worth it because once I hit the stage its all about the fans.

You titled it D.N.A. can you tell me the meaning behind the title?

More than anything the meaning behind D.N.A. is reintroducing myself to my fans. The make up of who I am, all the way around and how creatively I had more creative control on this album than any of my previous projects. This is like my baby right here. So more than anything, I’m reintroducing myself to my fans.

Would you say the songs on your album are based on your life experiences or life experiences in general?

Both. Its a mixture of both. If you listen to D.N.A. you are going to get a mixture of incredible creative records. You are going to get those records like “The Hardest Moment”, records like “Stranded”, records like “Break Up, records like “I Miss My Friend” and current and personal records where you know its coming directly from the heart.

That is why I asked that because there were a lot of break up songs on there. My impression was that you just got through a break-up…

Me and my previous girlfriend broke up about six-months ago. It was a very on and off again relationship, we were very close to each other. It was tough because she was my High School sweetheart. Its one of those things like now being single, I’m having all these new experience with women and its a lot different from being in a relationship. So those songs are kind of inspired by those situation.

I just saw an interview you were doing one with your hometown radio station 92Q. I swear that was years ago with Fantasia and you said on that interview that you just went through a break up. So its the same person and you just got back together?

Yeah, on and off on and off. But, its definitely official. It ironic I will do a song called break-up and then I officially break up with my ex. Its crazy.

You know, I’m scared to fall in love. I’m listening to your songs and I said “I do not want to feel like that”.

But, you can’t control who you fall in love with. You know that, Necole. You know that right? If someone comes and swoops you off your feet, unless you make it a priority and put that ice box around your heart…. Is that where you are right now?

Where?

You got that ice-box around your heart?

Let’s just say, you have to do a lot of chiseling to get to me.

That means he has to be well worth it and he is going hard. He is going in to show that he cares.

Yeah, but a lot of people do not take the time. I guess they are not worth my time because they do not take their time.

Do you feel its hard since you went through all these break ups and getting back together to maintain a relationship in the public eye?

Yeah, its definitely hard and I tried it. Its hard. I feel like when I’m in a relationship and its 100% on both sides I’m in it and I’m dedicated and faithful. But, when it’s 2nd guessing and we are not on the same page…we are in the same book but just on so many separate pages with different chapters it gets wack. You got to take your time and find the right person. I’m dating right now but I’m not really pushing for anything too too serious. If it comes along, I’d be excited to have that experience but I’m just doing me.

So, If I was to call your ex-girlfriend and to ask her what type of guy you are in a relationship?

(laughs) Whoa Now! If I let the emails tell it, I ain’t shit right now.

Oh wow!

Nobody’s perfect. No relationship is perfect. We had a lot of ups and downs throughout the years but if you were to call and ask her ultimately she’d say we were very in love with each other and it was a mutual decision to break it off.

You had a show out in Houston recently and they told me that you broke down on stage. I didn’t know you had just went through a break up but you seem really in tune with your emotions…

I performed “The hardest moment” in my show and I was just having a really crazy day that day. I was really just thinking about the album and the release of this record. It’s my fourth album and I’ve been through a lot of things in my life. It was one of those moments where I looked into the audience and it got real emotional for me for a minute. I broke down a little bit.

That song is really hard for me to perform. It’s a hard song to perform on many levels for me. There are a lot of moments where I had to face a situation and let it go. My grandmother….When I did this song that’s all I could think about. That moment where I felt like I was losing the most important person in my life. Me and my grandmother at one point had a better relationship than me and my mom. So it was just one of those days.

It’s funny that I said that you are in tune with your emotions. I never told anyone this but my first boyfriend was this guy. Really cute but sort of rough. He pursued me and wanted me really bad but I wasn’t interested. It wasn’t until a friend of his passed and he came to me and cried that I began to like him…and I became his girlfriend.

Wooow! It’s funny that you say that because back to my ex again. She would probably say that. There were a lot of times that I wasn’t emotional with her. I didn’t always open up. That had a lot to do with it. If you asked me again, something that I could have done, I think I could have been more open with her. Even with my fans, I think I’m ready to open up and be more vulnerable. When you make songs like I do and you emote so much it’s important to say to your friends why you do the things you do and write the songs you write. A Man that ain’t afraid to cry is a man who isn’t afraid to die. I’m ready to go there…

Also from that show, I saw a photo of you and a girl who had a Soul Truth tattoo. How did that make you feel?

Ah man, We connected. Soul Truth, That tattoo means a lot to me. I grew up in the church and I deeply feel that when you do something with your heart and your soul, whether it’s writing, whether it’s movies, whether it’s being a painter, you are a model. When you do it and your heart is in it, people feel that because it comes from your heart and soul. So it’s the truth. It’s in your heart. That’s what Soul Truth stands for… So for her to get that tattoo, she’s on my level. Let’s go.

I was listening to the cuts on your album and a noticeably missing topic was sex. Did you keep a sexual song out on purpose? Is that a subject that’s taboo to you…

No it’s not taboo at all. AT ALL. I’m a very sexual person when I find THAT girl. I go in and I’m sexual with a girl that deserves it. There is actually a song on there that touches on it a little bit titled “Ooh Baby”, a song written by Rico Love. It’s a very sexy song about letting the music ride while she has on her heels and we go in. I’m very in tune with my sexual side baby. Very much so.

Let’s talk about sex for a minute. Let’s talk about sex baby? Since my album did not talk about sex enough for you lets talk about it on this call.

Whaaa? Don’t get me going in. Now how you going to catch me off guard?

I do not feel like I’m catching you off guard, I felt like I was reading between the lines. Maybe I need to make a whole nother album that’s just..

No No, you don’t. My first impression was that you like to love. There are people out there that like to…

I am yo. It’s crazy and I love hard. I do. I truly do. I am definitely that dude. There are many different sides to me and when you are around me, you will see. It ain’t all sweet but I am definitely a lover for sure..

Today I was on someone’s website that talks about relationship and sex and stuff [and the topic was kissing]. Do you think that kissing is an important part of sex?

Absolutely. I’m all in your mouth. And if we are not facing each other, I’m kissing you on your back, kissing you on your neck, I’m all of that. I’m not even having sex with you if I can’t kiss you. You are wasting my time. If I can’t kiss you, why are we having sex?

Some people feel like having a quick thing. “Thank you! have a nice day” and you don’t even get a gift bag.

I did that, I’m done with that. I had situations where, “okay, we are not going to talk to each other after tonight. We are going to — and keep it moving. What I’m saying in general is, if I can’t kiss a girl the sex is not the same.

Do you go down on a dude? Would you go down on a dude on the first night?

You know what, I only go down on guys that I really like like that and I’m really comfortable with. Because its a special thing.

It is a special thing, its a VERY special thing,

So I assume, you would only go down on a female you really like?

I’m going down on my chick. She got to be my chick or she got to be a potential chick. She got to know that I’m doing this shit because I feel like you are that one or could possibly be that one. No free Willies, none of those! I do not do that. She got to be a helluva… Man if I go down on her… she gotta be a problem. It has to be a wild… Man, I do not know …. It got to be some other shit..

You brought a young lady to my birthday party and everyone was like, “is that his girl?”

*laughs* That is not my girl. No, No

But, she is a very special person?

Absolutely! Absolutely!

She is very pretty and you guys will make a cute little couple.

To be honest with you, it’s more than beauty, she is just an amazing girl. Anybody, male or female, who has hung around her can see that she has a beautiful personality and she is smart and talented. She is cool and its hard to find someone like her. That is the homie right there.

And that is what I was going to say someone in the same position as you, meaning in the industry, who is on the road and you see these chicks. Do you think you have to date someone who is in the industry?

It was tough dating a girl that wasn’t. Someone who I really cared about, somebody who ultimately knew me better than I sometimes felt like I knew myself. But, its tough now I guess accepting the fact that I am who I am and got to do what I got to do. I was not always perfect and I did things that I was not suppose to do that may have made her insecure. I think maybe it will be easier with someone who understands lifestyles and understand protocols. We will see how it happens in the future.

Let me ask you one last question. What makes sex great for you?

Oh, my Goodness! This is my talk right here Bitchie! What makes sex great to me? Chemistry is so important when it comes down to sex. Chemistry, taking your time and depending on what level of comfort you are with each other. If you guys are going all out with each other. If it’s your girl, its like taking your time and really appreciating every inch of that person. And when it gets to the point where ya’ll are past foreplay and you’re making good love its in the middle of both of those. To me its like a mountain, you’re climbing a mountain. When you get to the top of the mountain and you drink that glass of water… You are like “Ahhhh”. You did not drink any water the whole time so you are moving up that mountain and when you get to the top you drink that water…And you climax!

Wow..okay. um.. Thank you so much for the interview.

We definitely needed to talk. I like what you do because you allow young men like myself, who is in the industry to keep it real without being judge. Certain things show and certain things you do, you keep it real to a certain extend but have to deal with the pressure of being judged by the media and crazy stuff. Keep doing what you doing, I’m proud of you and hopefully we will see each other in the ATL.

Thank you, Thank you so much!

This was also important for me because I feel as though there is a misconception because I’m so focused on my music. I do not take time to let people know me personally. Stuff like what we just did is important. My fans need to know me outside of the music.
