The `Born This Way` singer feels a huge connection with her followers - who she calls `Little Monsters` - and that connection is intensified to orgasmic levels when she is performing.

She said: "Sometimes, being on stage is like having sex with my fans. They`re the only people on the planet who, in an instant, can make me just lose it."

The 24-year-old star - real name Stefani Germanotta - also says she can relate to her fans because she sees herself in them.

She revealed in an interview with Vogue magazine: "I see myself in them. I was this really bad, rebellious misfit of a person - I still am - sneaking out, going to clubs, drugs, alcohol, older men, younger men. You imagine it, I did it. I was just a bad kid. And I look at them, and every show there`s a little more eyeliner, a little more freedom, and a little more `I don`t give a f**k about the bullies at my school.` "
