Drew Barrymore Does Not Need Sex
Drew Barrymore admitted the fact that she is not a person who needs sex on a regular basis while also saying that she doesn’t criticize the ones that do. She also talked about how her focus has now shifted to raising her two kids and so she already has a lot on her plate. “Since entering life as a single mom, I have not been able to have an intimate relationship. I have had the honor and a pleasure to actually work on myself and learn what parenting is, again something I was not exactly clear on growing up and I’ve had many learning curves thrown my way,” she said.
The actress added, “I’m also raising two daughters, so how we raise girls to be appropriate and empowered and to love themselves and to realize that we live in an age where the images and messages that they will see will also contradict what I have come to believe intimacy is! Intimacy is something that makes you feel good about yourself! I also talk about and have learned when something doesn’t make you feel good or it makes you feel bad about yourself, pay as much attention to that as what makes you feel great because there’s a lesson in there.“
