'Am I straight? Am I bi?': Basketball star Liz Cambage discusses her sexuality as she poses for a steamy Playboy photo shoot - and says she 'spent a lot of years confused'
Liz Cambage has spoken candidly about her sexuality while posing in racy lingerie for Playboy magazine.
The basketball star, 29, said she 'spent years confused' about her sexual orientation but the steamy photo shoot has allowed her to 'celebrate her sexuality'.
'I've never embraced my sexuality in public. Me doing Playboy is me celebrating my sexuality like, "Yeah, I am a straight six-foot-eight woman who likes to have sex." I'm a human, it's what we do,' she said.

'As a female athlete, I feel like I'm not allowed to be sexy and I'm not allowed to be that person. All society wants from me is to sit down, shut up, go to training and play my sport,' she added.
Liz went on to say she has felt 'a lot of pressure on my sexual identification' and she's 'spent years confused'.
'Am I straight? Am I bi? Is there something wrong with me that I'm not attracted to girls? Everyone's always expecting me to be gay. I'm like, "No, I love men",' she said.
