Salma Hayek Says Sex Every Day ‘Loses Its Charm’

Salma Hayek spoke recently about the key to a happy marriage, and the actress insists that sex isn’t as important as everyone makes it out to be.

Rather than making what happens in the bedroom a priority, Hayek says, couples should instead be focusing on maintaining their chemistry with one another.

“Sex is not the key to a happy marriage, but it’s a side effect. Although not every day! If it’s every day then it loses its charm. It’s so important to maintain your chemistry. You have to continue to laugh, continue to explore, continue to have fun with each other, continue to have romance,” Hayek told Red Magazine.

Salma Hayek has been married to businessman Francois-Henri Pinault for seven years and says that one of the keys to having a strong relationship is keeping him the center of her home; everything else is peripheral. And while Hayek is known as one of the sexiest women in the world, she says she doesn’t always feel that way. As a woman who has spent several years in Hollywood, Salma isn’t immune to the pressures on women to look perfect at all times. But for her, the best life is one in which she’s able to enjoy herself, no matter what others think.

“Even though I struggle every moment with my own judgment of my body, I’m in touch with myself. I try to be really aware of every muscle. It is sexy. Sexuality, what other people see in you, is enjoying your body. Involve your senses in your life, and you will become sexy. Dance, and not to look good. If you dance terribly, still dance,” Hayek advises.

Salma wasn’t afraid to be candid in the interview, speaking about her struggle with the way women are treated as they get older.

“They don’t tell you the things that can happen. They send you this questionnaire: Are you losing your hair? Are your nose and your ears growing? Do you have facial hair growing? Are you gaining weight that you cannot get rid of? Are you shrinking? And then they ask, is your vagina dry? And my answer was, ‘If I’m bald, and my nose and my ears are huge, and I have a mustache and a beard, and I cannot lose the weight, and I’m even shorter than I’ve been my whole life, who cares if the vagina is dry? Nobody is gonna come near it!'” Hayek joked.

Salma, her husband, and their daughter all had the opportunity recently to meet Pope Francis when Hayek was awarded a medal for her work with his organization Scholas Occurrentes, a group with promotes bringing together children from different backgrounds to promote peace.

“I can not love him more. When in Rome, speak with your hands. At least I made him laugh,” Salma wrote on Instagram after the meeting. The actress also shared a sweet photo of Pope Francis bestowing a kiss upon her daughter’s head.

On parenting, Salma says that some of the same marriage rules apply. With her daughter Valentina, she says, it’s all about bringing her into the life she shares with her husband and keeping her involved in family life. As someone who had a child when she was older, Hayek says, it’s a lot of work to keep up, but it’s such an important job.

“Now it’s so easy to just entertain them with a screen, and you don’t have to go through the complaining for an hour about dragging them places. Drag them, and make them a part of your life. It’s about the human connection, and the things they can learn from participating in life. Otherwise, isolation starts to happen,” Salma Hayek said.
