This week, Nerve published a list of the best sex advice from celebrities over 40. Though I’m not denying that these stars know what they're talking about -- i would literally take any advice Meryl Streep gave us -- i also don't want to discount the sexual wisdom of younger generations.
Here are seven pieces of our favorite sex advice from famous women age 40 and under.
1. Don't be afraid of dirty talk.
I know a lot of people have a hard time talking dirty -- they don't know what to say, how to start, or when to end it. Also, at first they will think they sound ridiculous. And they might. But let me just say that talking dirty is so important in sex. And it's pretty easy. To wit: Establish from the very beginning that you like this. And trust me, you want to do it early on. Because if you wait too long to introduce the concept, your Special Lady Friend will be a little thrown and might not take you seriously.
-- Olivia Munn, 32
2. Don't ever fake it in the bedroom. (And i don't just mean orgasms.)
You have to really enjoy [being sexy]. Not fake anything. Sexy is being in the moment, whether that means being coy or coming on hard. Faking is always lame and it never comes across the way you want it to.
-- Cameron Diaz, 40
3. Experiment, experiment, experiment.
Some people are more experimental in bed and others are more boring. If you are wild and crazy, bring it on so the other person is well aware that you have little devil horns that come out every once in a while. It's good to make an effort to dress up sometimes, to do things outside of the norm.
-- Heidi Klum, 40
4. There are no rules when it comes to who we're attracted to.
People questioning the idea that a woman could sleep with a man who defied her lot in the looks bracket hews so closely to these really outdated ideas about what makes a woman worth spending time with. Really? Can you not imagine a world in which a girl who's sexually down for anything and oddly gregarious pulls a guy out of his shell for two days?
-- Lena Dunham, 27
5. Don't lie to yourself about your own desires (or lack thereof).
You can lie to your relatives at Christmas dinner and tell them everything on the home front is just peachy. But you cannot lie to your vagina.
-- Olivia Wilde, 29
6. Sex with your ex isn't always a bad idea.
I think it's a good idea when you know that you're not going to see them again or call them again. If it's ex-sex with the hopes of it not being over, you're screwed. Ex-sex is also a good idea when there's unfinished business, like maybe when it's subtly hate sex, or let-me-show-you-how-much-I've-learned-in-the-past-couple-years sex.
-- Rashida Jones, 37
7. Rebound sex can actually be helpful.
I think [rebound sex] is a great idea. I think it's like the only way, if you can manage it... I've been on both sides and sometimes it's like great, that's the way out, and other times it's like a dry spell for months and months.
-- Ari Graynor, 30
