The Vow star, who worked as a dancer before establishing a career as an actor, told Digital Spy that Steven Soderbergh's film is not as explicit as some people expect.
"There's pumping involved," he quipped. "I'll leave it at that, to let the imagination run."
Tatum added: "Honestly, it's not that crazy of a movie. There's definitely butts and nakedness, but there's not any gratuitous sex or anything like that.
"It's pretty tasteful, in my opinion. If you give it to anyone else [apart from Soderbergh] it could easily go in that direction."
Magic Mike stars Alex Pettyfer's 'The Kid', a young stripper who is taken under the wing of more experienced dancers played by Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello.
Channing Tatum's new movie The Vow opens in cinemas on February 10.
