So that’s why so many Rihanna photos leak…

Rihanna is a fan of exchanging raunchy photos – it’s no wonder so many seem to hit the net.

“When you’re not with the person you want to be intimate with, a picture is the next best thing.” Rihanna said in an interview.

“Well, Skype is safer. But a picture lasts a long time. When you’re alone, pictures can be very handy.”

The singer also admitted that she is into S&M.

“I think I’m a bit masochistic. I love feeling like I’m somebody’s girl,” Rihanna told Rolling Stone magazine.

“I love to be tied up and spanked. I like to be whipped. And it’s funny that I care. But I prefer to be spontaneous.”

“Using whips and chains is too planned … you have to stop and look for the whip. I prefer them to use their hands.”
