John Mayer is revealing some surprising information about what he considers sexy and romanic.

Speaking on a recent episode of the Comfort Food podcast, the 46-year-old musician, known for his relationships with numerous famous women including Jennifer Aniston, Katy Perry, Jessica Simpson and Taylor Swift, said that "being relied on is the hottest thing in the world to me."

When asked jokingly if this could be considered a kink, Mayer answered, "Reliance kink? Oh my God. Reliability kink? Yes."

Mayer also noted that he longs to get married, even categorizing settling down as a "romantic fantasy."

"People don't think I want to be married. I absolutely want to be married," he noted. "You know the secret, which is that I'm actually fairly well-adjusted And I so badly want to get married if only for my wife to just know in her heart, like, 'John will know what to do... if my husband was here, he would know what to do. Call John. Call my husband.'"

"You're a full grown-up when this is your romantic fantasy," Mayer pronounced. "You're a fully fledged grown-up."

Mayer touched on the subject in 2023 of craving the boundaries of an established union on his own radio show, Life With John Mayer, saying that he needs a partner to keep him in check.

"I’ve heard people tell me that I shouldn’t get married," he said. "I go, ‘I need a referee, I need someone to step in and just say, ‘You can’t do that.'”
