When Cooper asked what he thought of “missionary sex,” the “First Class” artist instantly responded, “The best. As good as it gets."
While laughing, he added, “It’s that corner booth in sex form, ain’t it?”
The hip-hop star also had words for any naysayers who might think the position is too “vanilla.” Harlow said, “I know they think it is. That’s fine with me. That’s how we got going, though. That’s how the homoerectus was … That’s default. Let’s just face facts: It’s default.”
The hitmaker even went on to defend what it is about missionary specifically that he finds a turn on.
“We’ve been over-sexualized as a culture and motherf—ers don’t want to look each other in the eye anymore and put their nose on each other’s nose and put their tongue down each other’s throat while they’re getting stroked,” he shared. “Like, cmon. There’s nothing better. There’s nothing better! And everybody has their own preferences and that’s fine. It’s not objective, but it feels pretty close to objective.”

You know what I’m saying?” he admitted. “I literally said that to a girl once. I was apologizing for my desires lightheartedly, like, ‘I’m a mammal. I’ve still got control over myself, but just the way a plant outside wants the sun, I have been engineered to want to reproduce.’”
Harlow, who has a reputation for his suave demeanor, was also among the stars featured inPEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive issuein 2022 and revealed what he finds attractive himself.
“Sexy is just a magnetic pull,” he shared. “Awareness is sexy. I find confidence and intelligence most sexy in a woman.”
