Kate Winslet makes unexpected confession about her sex drive and encourages other women to do the same

Kate Winslet got candid on the How To Fail podcast

For any woman, getting older can sometimes pose the risk of your libido dipping right to the ground, but it seems actor Kate Winslet has found a way to actually boost it, instead.

The Titanic star recently hinted that she's been increasing her sex drive through a certain type of treatment and appeared to urge other women to do the same.

The 48-year-old has been married to Edward Abel Smith, 46, for 12 years now, and she seemingly claims this treatment has made her feel ‘sexy’ again.

During a recent appearance on the How To Fail podcast, Winslet took part in a mini agony-aunt session where listeners would ask for her advice.

That’s when one person asked for help to boost their sex drive.

At first, Winslet explained how your sex drive has a lot to do with your hormones, and as a woman, it could be down to your thyroid.

The mother-of-three shared: “Sometimes women have a real dip in libido because there might be stuff going on with their thyroid.”

For those who have hypothyroidism, you could be sluggish, fatigued and overall, just not in the mood thanks to your thyroid hormone not producing what you need to help you feel energized.

But that’s not the only thing that can affect it.

Winslet explained that your testosterone could be low too.

She added: “There could also be stuff going on with your level of testosterone.

“A lot of people don't know this but women have testosterone in their body, when it runs out - like eggs - it's gone, and once it's gone you have to replace it and that is something that can be done and you'll feel sexy again… I know.”

Winslet continued: “I would suggest for your physical self, have your thyroid levels checked and your testosterone levels checked well because those things could have a direct impact on how you're actually feeling.

“It's not your fault, our bodies are weird and they behave in strange ways especially as we get older.

“So there could be a dip in those hormonal levels for you that is contributing much more than you think to how you're feeling about having sex with your boyfriend, so I would definitely go ahead and do that.”

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a prescription treatment that helps restore testosterone levels.

It essentially helps to restore the body’s levels to where they should be, and studies have found that this could actually increase a woman’s sexual libido too.

However, the Mayo Clinic states that there isn’t much research into the safety of using this method and how well it works long term.

Winslet went on to share that she feels so much better and she thinks she looks 'amazing' too.

She said: “I'm great with it [her body] - I think I look flipping amazing. We have to own it, this is the thing.

“We're so conditioned, women, in our 40s to think 'oh well I'm creeping closer to the end'. You think you're going into menopause and you'll stop having sex, your boobs are going to sag and your skin's going to go crapy. First of all, so what? It's just conditioning.

“I think women as they get older get juicier and sexier and more embedded in their truth of who they are and more powerful, more able to walk through the world and care less and that is an empowering thing. I say to my friends all the time 'you look amazing, you look great'.”
