Oct. 21, 2021 – Once in the bed – she aims for 8.30pm – Gwyneth relies on some nighttime assistance from husband Brad Falchuk, 50, revealing the pair – who sleep naked – rely on plenty of ‘skin-to-skin’ contact.
She explained: ‘Brad and I are big cuddlers. Lots of skin-to-skin. Our cuddle position changes, you know. We don’t have one.’
Asked if orgasms help with sleeping, she mused: ‘Yes, I really believe that…
‘With an orgasm, you relax. Get in the body. You can’t be thinking about anything else when you’re having an orgasm. You’re a total mammal at that point.
‘It’s like Mary Oliver said: “You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.”’
Gwyneth – who also praised Brad with giving her calming massages when she’s stressed – added that sleep, stress, sexual health and desire are all connected.
‘We have to look at it all holistically,’ she explained. ‘Obviously libido tends to decrease with age—it just happens. Also desire can change by virtue of being in a long-term relationship, or some people struggle with it post-children.
‘And it’s the thing people don’t talk about: I lack the desire. But a lot of people—like in some of the surveys we did—they want the desire, but they don’t know how to tap into desire.
