BROOKE SHIELDS: I didn't lose my virginity until age 22 - and never felt able to indulge my appetite for sex. Now, from thinning hair to belly fat, my body's changing...


My husband Chris and I have been married for 23 years and together for 26, unusual enough in Hollywood for people to wonder why we've lasted this long.

At the same time, I’m going through all the bodily s*** that comes with ageing as a woman – the thinning hair and the peach fuzz and the brand-new belly fat and vaginal dryness and the diminishing sex drive – and in my natural state, I feel less appealing to him than I ever did before. So I ended up receiving a lecture about how important sex is to a relationship, how couples need it to connect, how it can ward off depression, boost immunity, reduce stress and improve communication between partners. Yes, I know mine hasn’t exactly been typical – I had my first job a month before I turned one, I starred in my first movie at nine – but I’ve held myself to the same standards as many of my peers.
