The Smith family as talented as they are really need to stop sharing everything about their lives, especially their sex life. It’s understandable that they want to be vulnerable and share the personal details, but it’s not always necessary. Recently, Will Smith talked about how he had so much sexual intercourse when he was 16 that he developed a condition where he would vomit every time he had sex.
The actor is revealing details about his personal lives that the public didn’t know before in his new memoir, ‘Will’.

Well, here is what he exactly said:
“I had sex with so many women, and it was so constitutionally disagreeable to the core of my being, that I developed a psychosomatic reaction to having an orgasm. It would literally make me gag and sometimes even vomit.”
Will Smith went on this path because he had been cheated on by his girlfriend at the time, Melanie. Melanie was someone he ended up having a toxic relationship with. Melanie’s mother was in prison for murdering Melanie’s father. And Will used to take a lot of time to heal Melanie’s trauma but it eventually didn’t work out.
“The look in Melanie’s eyes became the substitute for Gigi’s [his grandmother’s] approval. I’ve always needed a woman to achieve for.”
The heartache of the break-up was so much for him that he ended up coping in very toxic ways. Will Smith would end up sleeping with a lot of people and excessively shopping:
“I desperately need relief but as there is no pill for heartbreak, I resorted to the homeopathic remedies of shopping and rampant sexual intercourse. Up until this point in my life, I had only had sex with one woman other than Melanie. But over the next few months, I went full ghetto hyena.”
But then eventually he had sexual intercourse with so many women then he started to get a psychosomatic reaction to an orgasm. He would end up vomiting, gagging or puking as a result. Will Smith also notes that his attempt to get over Melanie didn’t work because his interactions with women were completely meaningless:
“In every case, though, I hoped to God this beautiful stranger would be ‘the one’ who would love me, who would make this pain go away. But invariably, there I was, retching and wretched. And the look in the eyes of the women even further deepened my agony.”
The Men in Black actor shared that he ended up briefly resolving issues and reconciling with Melanie. But they ended up splitting permanently. During that difficult period in his life, Will Smith ended up in an emotional turmoil. He even gathered all the things that he had ever gifted Melanie and burned them in fire as she watched.
In his memoir, Will Smith shared details about his sex life with his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith, who he’s in an open marriage with
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith tied the knot in 1997 and have two children together, Jaden and Willow.
Recently, Jada and Will have been sharing a lot about their sex and love lives together. Will Smith talks about how during the initial months of their relationship, he would be obsessed with pleasing and satisfying Jada completely.
“I started to wonder if this was a competition. Either way, as far as I was concerned, there were only two possibilities: (1) I was going to satisfy this woman sexually, or (2) I was going to die trying.”
The couple has definitely had their ups-and-downs. In 2011, they had temporarily split and during that time Jada had a romantic relationship with rapper August Alsina. Alsina at the time said that he was in a relationship with Jada with ‘Will’s blessing’. Everyone thought Jada was cheating on Will Smith.
But then Will and Jada cleared the rumors on Jada Pinkett-Smith’s ‘Red Table Talk’. And Will Smith recently explained to GQ that they were actually in an open relationship.
“We have given each other trust and freedom, with the belief that everybody has to find their own way. And marriage for us can’t be a prison. And I don’t suggest our road for anybody… But the experiences that the freedoms that we’ve given one another and the unconditional support, to me, is the highest definition of love.”
At the same time, Jada Pinkett-Smith is clearing up the misunderstanding that Will Smith can’t maintain a “healthy sex life”.
On one of the episodes of Red Table Talk, Gwyneth Paltrow shared how she feels like she had the “best sex” of her life with her new husband Brad Falchuk. And Jada responded saying that she felt differently:
“It’s hard. 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. 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.”
People online started to speculate and spread rumors about how the couple’s alleged problems. Jada was quick to quell the rumors and set the record straight.
Will Smith also explained that he ultimately got over his insecurities in his life that affected the romantic and sexual aspects of him.
“What [the coach] was doing was essentially cleaning out my mind, letting it know it was okay to be me and be who I was. It was okay to think Halle is fine. It doesn’t make me a bad person that I’m married and I think Halle is beautiful. Whereas in my mind, in my Christian upbringing, even my thoughts were sins.”
Well, good for Will Smith. But after the recent reveal of his sex life, people don’t want to know anything more about the actor.
Here’s how everyone responded to this piece of news
There was even a petition to stop people from interviewing Jada and Will:
There were some jokes too.
Well, that’s natural. It does feel weird knowing such intimate details about such a well-known celebrity. It’s great that Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith are doing great now.
Let’s hope for the best two and hopefully less details about their sex life from now on!
