American actress Brooke Shields has just published a new book that has caused quite a stir. And it’s no wonder, as the actress is sharing very personal details about her sex life and how it has changed over the years
If anyone thought her book, ‘Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed To Get Old: Thoughts On Aging As A Woman’, would be just about aging, they were wrong.
At 59 years old, Brooke Shields speaks unfiltered about the ups and downs of sexual desire as she gets older.
In her pages, she talks about how at the age of 22 she was unable to enjoy sex as she really wanted, something that left her with a feeling of regret
Sex life over the years
“I had a fervent sexual desire when I was young, but I never felt that I could satisfy that appetite in the way that I wanted,” wrote the star of ‘The Blue Lagoon’, the film that launched her to fame in 1978, when she was just 12 years old.
“I waited so long because I had the weight of the world on me… I never let myself go. Oh, how I wish I had let lust take over!” said the actress.
But now, at almost 60 years old, things are different. After more than 20 years of marriage to film director Chris Henchy, Brooke has had to adapt to the changes that come with getting older
And no, it’s not just the passage of time that affects their sex life, but also those “little things” like belly fat, vaginal dryness and loss of sex drive. Plus, Brooke joked about how sometimes she prefers to pretend to be asleep to avoid having sex.
But she also admitted that as time has gone by, she has felt less attractive
‘Ingredients’ for enjoying your sex life
And most interestingly, she has come to the conclusion that in order to enjoy sex now, she needs to have certain ‘products’ at her disposal. In her case, lotions, potions and even a special pillow.
In addition, he does not refuse a tequila to relax and, if his doctor recommends it, he could take testosterone
“To be able to fully enjoy sex at this point, I need my lotions and potions, the right sleepwear, my special pillow and maybe a tequila so I can relax,” she admitted.
Brooke admits that her sex life isn’t what it used to be, but she says that with a little help and the right “ingredients,” she can still enjoy sex
Without a doubt, her approach and honesty about age and desire is something that many can understand and, above all, accept.
So while Brooke continues with her lotions, potions and pillows, one thing is clear: aging may change many things, but it also offers new ways to enjoy life. That and much more may surprise you when you read ‘Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed To Get Old: Thoughts On Aging As A Woman’.
