A decade ago,slamming meth-gay sex videos Justin Timberlake brought sexy back, and now another former boy-bander has boldly offered to carry the torch and ensure it never, ever goes away.

Zayn Malik appears on the cover of Paper's Summer Sexy issue, smoke billowing out of his mouth behind text reading, "Sexy Zayn." Inside the issue, they totally talk about sex.

Mind of Mine is sort of a serious, R&B version of of The Lonely Island's "I Just Had Sex" if Andy Samberg had the voice of a Zayngel. 

"It wasn't a conscious decision to make [the album] sexual or refer to sex," Zayn tells Paper.

But Zayn decided to use his post-One Direction freedom to talk about what was really going on in his life -- sexual situations.

"But I just found out that a lot of situations that I was in were quite sexual situations -- all of the time." He adds, "I enjoyed singing about [sex], clearly."

The profile also reveals that Zayn is learning to ride horses with his (sexy) girlfriend Gigi Hadid, but they do other stuff, too -- sometimes it's sex stuff!

"We'll see each other tonight and probably watch a film," said Zayn. "Netflix and chill. Yeah, we do that a lot."
