Now that Shailene, 29, and Aaron, 37, are going strong, she has gotten more candid about her sex life.
Last month, the Divergent actress penned a column for Leo Edit to offer tips to those dealing with bad sex. A reader asked, “If the sex is not great but the relationship is thriving, do you call it quits or work on it?”
Shailene wrote back, “Oy…I have been here. And to be quite honest, it has happened more than once in my life.”
Her fool-proof advice? “All I can say is, from my perspective as a woman who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to say it, honesty and transparency are everything,” she said. “That s–t can take time. And although you occasionally and very rarely do meet someone whom you spontaneously sexually combust with—most of the time, sex is a lesson in true intimacy.”
