Gwyneth Paltrow on the Call Her Daddy podcast opened up about sex with her impressive list of exes, including Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and Ben Affleck.
Revealing all the finer details, she found out who she thinks was more romantic and who was better in bed. She even played a game called Brad or Ben, where she determined who was the best boyfriend under the sheets.
Apparently, she was very into everything Brad did, but Ben was 'technically brilliant'. We're not sure if that's a compliment or not.
But starting from this, the question arises, should we talk openly about sex with our ex-partner to a friend - or even to a new partner?
Emma Spiegler, a love, relationship and sexuality therapist notes that there can be some benefits in discussing 'past flames' with a new partner. She says sharing details about your sexual history can be liberating and builds trust.
At first, Emma says to focus on the things you want to change from previous dates.
"Sharing openly, honestly, and clearly what works for you and what you're looking for in a relationship is setting the tone for a relationship with a strong foundation of trust and emotional security.
While actress Gwyneth is comfortable discussing sex from the past, Emma explains that an information overload button may need to be curbed, as there can be downsides to sharing absolutely everything.
"While it can be very tempting to share all the finer details with a person we feel safe with, we must be aware of sharing too much in an effort to spark intimacy.
"Even though you might think you're at that high chemistry stage with a new relationship where you feel like you can talk about anything, emotional safety is always vital and you need to make sure the other person feels comfortable too."
