Bethenny Frankel says sex with ex-husband was 'torture' and she had to 'force' herself to do it

Bethenny Frankel has opened up about her sex life with her ex-husband Jason Hoppy.

The former Real Housewives of New York City star got candid during in a recent episode of her new podcast Just B Divorced with Bethenny Frankel.

She opened up about her 10-year-long divorce struggle and touched on her sex life with her ex husband Hoppy.

Fair warning, it does get frank, so if discussions of someone's sex life are not for you then it's probably best to stop here.

But if you're cool with that, here we go.

Frankel, 53, claimed that her relationship with Hoppy, also 53, deteriorated to such an extent that their sex life began to suffer.

She revealed that she did not want to get intimate with him by that point, and that it became 'like torture'.

"We were laying in bed and he used to say to me, 'You’re like a block of ice' because I did not want to be intimate, I did not want to have sex," Frankel admitted.

"I did not respect him. I did not want to have sex at all," she continued. "He used to say to me, 'It feels like this bed is like a block of ice'."

And when the couple were physically intimate together, she claimed: "I used to force myself, gag myself doing it."

She added: "It was torture."

Frankel explained that she had no longer felt any attraction towards her husband.

The pair met in 2008 and then married two years later in 2010. They welcomed their daughter, Bryn, in May 2010.

But even at the beginning, Frankel claimed that she never even felt attracted to him but felt as though it was something that she should like.

"There wasn't really an attraction for me. It was more of, like, something in my mind... where I convince myself or I tell myself or I use logic to say to myself that I should be into this," she explained.

Frankel added: "I let the universe tell me that I was in my late thirties and that you're supposed to be having kids by then, or you're supposed to know what road you're on. I didn't really have family, so I had no safety net, no security with money and no idea. And I just wanted to be wanted."
