Paris Hilton Plays Hard to Get

Paris Hilton has only slept with "a couple of people" - because she respects herself too much.

The Simple Life star has had high profile relationships with former Backstreet Boys star Nick Carter and Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden, but is currently single after splitting from the rocker in November.

And Hilton insists she just kisses the majority of her suitors, and plays "hard to get" to ensure men are serious about dating her.

She tells Glamour magazine, "I've only done it (had sex) with a couple of people. People make up stories, but mostly I just kiss.

"I think it's important to play hard to get. Nobody wants the fake Prada bag; they want the brand new bag that no one can get and is the most expensive. If you give it up to a guy he won't respect you; he'll want you much more if he can't have you."
