John Mayer thinks he should be having sex with more girls.

The American musician, who has dated a string of famous beauties including Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jessica Simpson and most recently former Friends star Jennifer Aniston, is tired of being labelled a womaniser because it makes him feel guilty about dating.

"I should be having sex with more girls. It's crazy to me that in my head being 32 and dating women is going to get me into trouble," he said.

The Gravity singer, who is as well known for his relationships as his music, stops himself from going out with more girls because of the constant public interest in his love life.

"I can't even explain to you how terrible that feels, that I equate dating a woman with punishment, shame, guilt, disappointment, reproach, reprimand, persecution. It's a nightmare," he said in an interview with the New York Times newspaper.

The musician has previously boasted about his sexual conquests online.

He once wrote on Twitter that he'd "slept" with nine science-fiction fans at a comic book convention and that he persuaded "dozens" of women to leave lipstick marks on his face so the paparazzi would think he had several girlfriends.
