Singer Ellie Goulding has revealed that she attends fetish parties with her boyfriend Dougie Poynter, but says there's never any raunchy behaviour between them at such events.
"I was at a fetish party the other night. One of my best friends said, 'Do you want to come for a party?' The theme was fetish and surrealism. I was in a rush so just put on a latex dress and gloves and that was that," Goulding told The Sun newspaper, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
However, despite the raunchy nature of the bash, the singer said there was no frisky behaviour between her and her beau because the party didn't "get that far."
"It wasn't that intense. There were some topless men walking around. Dougie didn't take his top off. He's not an exhibitionist. He has the goods though.
"But there weren't people sh***ing or anything. It just didn't quite get that far, it was too proper, everyone was really polite. It would only have taken one person to start being weird, though... Nothing shocks me really any more anyway, I feel like I've seen it all," Goulding added.
Although she might have developed a new fondness for explicit parties, Goulding says she's not into fetish literature and refused to watch the famous blockbuster "Fifty Shades of Grey" despite penning the soundtrack for the movie.
"I haven't seen it (the film). That's how busy I am. It's probably a hard thing to put into a film. I didn't read the books. I do read a lot but not specifically fetish literature," she said.
