Brooke Shields’ extremely anticipated new memoir, Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Outdated: Ideas on Getting older as a Girl ($21) formally debuted yesterday, and the 59-year-old actress isn’t holding again. Amongst her candid revelations, she opens up about how intercourse has developed with age and the affect it’s had on her relationship together with her longtime husband, Chris Henchy.
“I had a fervent sex drive when I was young, but I never felt like I could step into that appetite in the way that I wanted to,” she writes within the guide. “Oh, how I wish I’d just let the lust take over!” Now, a long time later, Shields admits the dynamic has modified. “And now here I am, more than thirty-five years later, sometimes pretending I’m asleep when I know Chris is in the mood. And that has nothing to do with Chris—he’s hot!”
“But, on a personal level, I’m in a place where sex can be painful,” she continues, revealing the trigger as a vaginal tightening process carried out with out her consent throughout one other remedy. “For me to fully enjoy sex at this point, I need my lotions and potions, the right sleepwear (maybe calling it sleepwear is contributing to the problem), my special pillow, and maybe a tequila so I can relax.”
When Shields shared the realities of her intercourse life together with her physician and talked about she was “fine with it,” they harassed the significance of intercourse in a relationship and instructed steps like balancing her hormones. “My doctor told me I should start taking testosterone—sure you might get a few more whiskers, but that’s what tweezers are for—but I haven’t gotten there yet. For now, I’m counting on the old ‘the more you have it, the more you’ll enjoy it’ approach.”
