Jada Pinkett Smith has insisted that she and her husband Will Smith "have never had an issue in the bedroom" after detailing her sex life in a recent Red Table Talk.
Speaking to guest Gwyneth Paltrow, Pinkett Smith explained why maintaining a healthy sex life with Will is difficult.
"It's hard," she said of her physical relationship with Smith. "The thing Will and I talk about a lot is the journey."
"We started in this at a very young age, you know, 22 years old. That's why the accountability part really hit for me because I think you expect your partner to know [what you need], especially when it comes to sex."
The couple tied the knot in 1997, and went on to welcome son Jaden, 23, and daughter Willow, 20.
The pair have been very open about their relationship, admitting they no longer refer to each other as married anymore.
After feeling like she shared too much, Pinkett Smith took to Twitter on Thursday, October 28, to clear up some chatter surrounding her and Will's sex life.
"Only because I got time today. Stop making up headlines. Watch the @RedTableTalk I did with @GwynethPaltrow for yourselves. Will and I have NEVER had an issue in the bedroom. Thank you," she wrote.
During her discussion with Paltrow, Jada Pinkett Smith said: "It's like, 'Well, if you love me, you should know. If you love me, you should read my mind.' That's a huge pitfall."
"You tell me what you need. Tell me what you want, and on top of it, I know that I have to be accountable to do the same... I really try," Pinkett Smith added.
"It's uncomfortable, but it's deeply healthy," she said. "And I think around sex, because it's something that we don't talk about and there's so much fantasy around it."
Last month, Will Smith told GQ that the pair aren't monogamous, saying that Jada "never believed in a conventional marriage."
The couple's union made headlines last year after rapper August Alsina claimed that he had engaged in a relationship with Jada with Will's permission.
Jada initially denied the claims, but when she and Will took part in an interview for her web show Red Table Talk, she said that an "entanglement" had occurred.
