Ricky Martin proved yet again that he brings the heat with a sizzling selfie — and Twitter promptly melted.

No caption was needed for the image, which, true to the saying, was easily worth a thousand words. But Gay Twitter lit up with plenty of thirsty commentary.

Agreed a third: "He's hot as hell".

"want him badly ❤️‍🔥," another gasped while someone else struggled for self-control: "I don't wanna get suspended again... I don't wanna get suspended again... I don't wanna get suspended again..."
