Actress Brooke Shields admits she pretends to be asleep to avoid having s£x with husband

Brooke Shields has said that she loves her hot husband Chris Henchy but sometimes pretends to be asleep to avoid getting intimate with him. She made the revelation in her latest memoir, Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old: Thoughts on Aging as a Woman, which was published on Tuesday, January 14. I was talking to a doctor recently who inquired about my sex life, and I explained to her that I have no desire and Im fine with it, Shields, 59, wrote.  Turned out, she was not fine with it. Shields wrote that she had a fervent sx drive when she was younger. But I never felt like I could step into that appetite in the way that I wanted to, the actress added. Shields detailed how losing her virginity, and in turn, having sx with previous boyfriends, impacted her relationship with her late mom, Teri Shields. My connection with my boyfriend was a personal affront to her, because having a man in my life in such a real way meant that she was losing me, she wrote. Oh, how I wish Id just let the lust take over! But regrettably I was never able to do that. This has continued to play out in her marriage to Henchy, 60. Shields and Henchy have been married since 2001. They share daughters Rowan, 21, and Grier, 18. Here I am, more than thirty-five years later, sometimes pretending Im asleep when I know Chris is in the mood, Shields admitted in the book. That has nothing to do with Chris hes hot! Hes been working out at a boxing gym recently, and he looks incredible. Shields explained to readers that her lack of sx drive comes alongside all the bodily s*** that she has experienced as an ageing woman. She also noted that pretending to be asleep is not great but shes working on that. After telling the doctor about her lack of sx, Shields recalled being on the receiving end of a lecture about how important sx is to a relationship. The actress also admitted that because of a previous surgery, sx has become painful. Shields told Us Weekly exclusively earlier this month about a plastic surgeon giving her a vaginal rejuvenation surgery without her consent. For me to fully enjoy sx 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, she wrote, noting again that Henchy is not at all the problem. Listen, theres nothing wrong with using whatever you need! she stated.
