It's probably going to be a very long time before Armie Hammer starts talking about his sex life again.

At least publicly in magazine interviews.

The hunky star of The Lone Ranger shocked many when he recently revealed intimate details in Playboy about his past sexual habits as well as sex with his wife, Elizabeth Chambers.

"Let's just say hindsight is 20/20," Hammer told me yesterday while promoting The Lone Ranger at The Bishops Lodge resort in Santa Fe, N.M. "Don't drink during an interview."

Not only did he reveal that he and Chambers went to a porn shop on their first date (as well as some art galleries), but he also said he was a "dominant lover" before meeting his wife.

"I liked the grabbing of the neck and the hair and all that," Hammer told the men's magazine. "But then you get married and your sexual appetites change. And I mean that for the better—it's not like I'm suffering in any way. But you can't really pull your wife's hair. It gets to a point where you say, 'I respect you too much to do these things that I kind of want to do.'"

In much more PG news, Hammer is still in awe that he's the new Lone Ranger.

"We got to basically live out every dream of every 6-year-old boy," he said with a big smile. "We got to ride horses through the desert, play cowboys and Indians [and] rob banks. It was great."

Except when he was getting hurt while making the stunt-filled flick (in theaters on July 3). "The most lasting thing is I might have done some damage to my bursa sack in my right elbow," Hammer said. "I was supposed to jump onto a horse and the horse saw me coming and moved out of the way and I fell backwards onto my elbow."
