Paris Hilton claims to have only have slept with "a couple" of men.
The hotel heiress - who inadvertently appeared in a sex tape, eventually released as 'One Night In Paris', in 2004 with then-boyfriend Rick Salomon - says she won't have sex with a boyfriend too soon into a relationship.
Paris, who has romanced a host of stars including Benji Madden, Nick Carter and model Jason Shaw, said: "I'm a strong woman who doesn't depend on a man for anything. If you give it up to a guy he won't respect you. He'll want you much more if he can't have you.
"I've only ever done it with a couple of people. People make up stories, but mostly I just kiss. I think it's important to play hard to get."
Paris also denied claims she has had breast implants, insisting she would never go under the surgeon's knife to improve her appearance.
She added to America's Glamour magazine: "First of all, I'm really scared of needles, plus I like looking natural and flat chested.
"When I was younger I was obsessed with wearing padded bras and stuff, but as I get older I realise that I like myself the way I am."
