Celebrities such as Robbie Williams, Christina Aguilera and Rachel Bilson have been making headlines in recent months thanks to extremely candid conversations about their sex lives.
And now an expert has revealed how the stars could be oversharing to meet a ‘growing demand for explicit content’ which has built up in popular culture.
Millie Woodman, Head of Talent at EdHopkinsPR, told FEMAIL there has been a ‘growing interest in sexual content’ in the general public.
She said: ‘It’s possible that the rise in steamy TV programmes and films is related to the fact that some celebrities are sharing details of their sex lives publicly, as there may be a growing interest in sexual content overall.’
However she added there were also other factors at play, commenting: ‘One potential factor contributing to the popularity of steamy TV shows and films is the rise of streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime, which have allowed for more diverse and niche content to be produced and distributed.

‘Additionally, there may be a growing demand for more explicit content among certain demographics, as society becomes more open and accepting of sexual diversity and exploration.
‘It’s also worth noting that the trend towards more sexual content in media is not a new phenomenon, and has been present in various forms throughout history.
‘The rise of steamy TV shows and films may simply be a continuation of this trend, rather than solely attributable to celebrity behavior.’

After consulting with her doctor, the songwriter was diagnosed with vaginismus – defined as involuntary tensing of the vagina – and said she wishes she could make Daryl ‘smaller’ as he’s a ‘big boy.’
She also shared that her ‘p**** is broken’ and she suffers from ‘p**** anxiety.’
Trainor declared: ‘I was told I have something called vaginismus. I thought that every woman walking around was always in pain during and after sex.
‘I was like, doc, are you telling me that I could have sex and not feel a single bit of pain?’
She and Daryl have previously made headlines for their sex life in 2019 when they visited an erotic store, with Meghan later insisting their purchases were ‘for a friend’.
They had son Riley in February 2021, and Meghan added she took ‘so long to even consider’ having sex with the actor before they conceived their second child, with whom she’s now pregnant.
She also said sex after the first baby felt ‘stingy’ and ‘burny’, adding in her intimate chat: ‘As he would penetrate, I would be like, “Ow, ow, ow,” like, to the point when… I had to ice myself after.’
Meghan also said they had tried ‘every’ sex ‘angle’, but added ‘each one (has been) worse than the other’.

In a joint interview, the pair insisted they’re ‘on the same page’ when it comes to intimacy and are content with their lack of bedroom activity.
Robbie told The Sun: ‘Everyone knows there is no sex after marriage. That’s just the way it is. I was on testosterone for a while but, because I’m an addict, that had to stop. I got these massive square shoulders and started to look like a doorman. It wasn’t a good look.
‘But the sex we had when I was on testosterone was incredible; it was all the time.
‘We were insatiable. It goes to show how into each other we really are, though, because when I was on it, we couldn’t take our hands off each other.
‘I miss that. That was a fun period. Sometimes now, though, Ayda will turn to me on the sofa and say, “We should do sex,” and I’m sitting there eating a tangerine and just sort of shrug. So, ya know, sometimes we try.’
The actress, 43, who married her popstar partner in 2010, concluded: ‘Intimacy is the important, meaningful side of love. We’re happy.’

She wrote: ‘My eyes shift between the fuzzy images on the screen, the remnants of my ovarian tormentor, and Mark happily snacking away.
‘Sex can be so traumatic I think, and yet one of us is completely undaunted. There he is, happily munching on the saltines now and ordering a second apple juice. Mark could be at a movie, or a spa.
‘Instead, I’m flat on my back wondering when the other two cysts will burst.’
She said when she passed out, her husband dressed her in his clothes to go to the hospital.
She added, ‘Also, here is my husband, who is, dare I say, stylish, well-dressed at all times, and yet he dressed me like a dime store prostitute in my time of need.
‘It’s still baffling to me to this day that this is the best costume for the day that he could find for me, to the point where, when I was on the stretcher, I thought I was dreaming; I was having a nightmare. I didn’t realize I had come to.’
