Gwyneth Paltrow reveals daughter Apple got the craziest sex-ed talk in sixth grade – Daily Mail

Between vagina steams and vagina scented candles, Gwyneth Paltrow is as sex-positive as it comes, but even she was left clutching her pearls over her daughter’s sex-ed class.

In a preview clip for Paltrow’s upcoming appearance on Red Table Talk, the Goop founder revealed that Apple, now 17, had the ‘craziest sex-ed talk’ when she was in sixth grade.

Gwyneth is currently making the media rounds to promote her new Netflix series Sex, Love & Goop. 

Jada Pinkett Smith and her mother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris, were joined by the Marvel star on at their famed red table for a frank chat about sex.

‘They [Apple and Moses], at their elementary school in sixth grade, had the craziest sex-ed talk, it was incredible,’ Gwyneth tells the ladies, adding with a shocked expression: ‘But, full-on everything, like they learned everything.’

‘I will never forget Apple’s face when she came home,’ she continued. ‘[The teacher] told them everything. And when I say everything, I mean everything.’ 

Paltrow, who usually has no shame in her game when it comes to talking about sexuality and the human body, blushed when recalling the story.

Banfield-Norris was surprised that by that pre-teen age, neither of Gwyneth’s kids had come to her with question before.

‘They hadn’t asked me,’ she explained. Meanwhile, things were different in the Smith household. Jada said daughter Willow, who was not a part of this segment, was asking candid questions about sex and her body at the age of five. 

In her new series, the Academy Award-winning actress is diving deep into the mind’s of a few couples who are navigating intimacy issues.

In the latest issue of PEOPLE magazine, Gwyneth gave space for a little discomfort and admitted: ‘Sex can be a fascinating barometer for how honest you’re being in your own life.’

‘I want to give everyone permission to be brave and connect with themselves and ask crazy questions,’ the 49-year-old Goop founder said.

‘Repressing sexuality and specifically female pleasure has been a mechanism of control for a long time. I’m an advocate for women to listen to themselves and become close and intimate with themselves. It’s time to undo those tropes. If a woman likes sex, there’s nothing wrong with her!’

In her new Netflix show, Paltrow teams up with five couples dealing with a myriad of troubles from marriages issues to past sexual traumas.

She helps the couples engage in exercises and therapies to overcome their struggles and further connect. 

‘An astonishing percentage of women in our culture have had some degree of trauma,’ she said. ‘And it’s something we very much need to name and talk about, because it can get stuck in the body.’

She added: ‘It’s an acceptance of ‘I went through something that was really out of alignment with what I felt was right. And in some ways there was a breach that left me feeling injured.’ I think all of us have that to some degree.’ 

‘It’s very common for libidos to fluctuate. Whether it’s from exhaustion, too much responsibility, having kids or fluctuating hormones.’
