Why does it seem like Nick Jonas talks about sex a lot these days?

The 22-year-old singer recently revealed that he's hoping his new self-titled solo album inspires a little sexy time for listeners. Jonas also dished on that now-infamous photoshoot for Flaunt magazine in which he channeled yet another sex symbol, Marky Mark.  

"Every artist's real goal is to have people have sex to your music," Jonas told E! News before a performance at a Flaunt party in Los Angeles. "I feel like for me, I was inspired by people like Stevie Wonder, Prince, and more modern stuff like The Weekend and James Blake and that vibe. A lot of that is sexy."

When asked what song on the album the former Jonas Brother thought would most inspire his fans to get physical, Nick explained that it depends on the listener.

"I think it's up to the audience because everybody has a certain preference," he told E! "Maybe a song called 'Push,' and this other one called 'Santa Barbara' has nice vibes and a song called 'Closer' that I did with Mike Posner. Those are a few and then they can decide what they want from there." 

As for that time he posed like Mark Wahlberg's iconic Calvin Klein ad from the 1990's, Jonas revealed that the photoshoot was done all in good fun.

"With the photoshoot, I really went into it with an open mind," he said. "I kind of rolled with it. I didn't think about how it would travel. It took off in a way that surprised me."

"This was strictly grabbing the junk," the "Jealous" singer added jokingly. "I was so tired and delirious."

The singer's album, "Nick Jonas" is available in stores and for download now.
