Jennifer Lawrence once shared a major fear of s*x and admitted being a germaphobe.

The Hollywood actress Jennifer Lawrence once stated that she had a major fear of s*x. Yes, the Hunger Games alum said that she avoided casual s*x for a specific reason. She previously told in an interview with radio host Howard Stern that she has only been intimate with boyfriends.

Besides this, she’s now married to art gallery director Cooke Maroney. They both married in 2019 and later welcomed a son, Cy, in 2022.

The pair met in 2018 and kept their relationship private before they got engaged a year later. But before this, there used to be a time when her fear had no limits.

Jennifer Lawrence Admitted Fear of Intimacy With Men

During her 2018 movie Red Sparrow promotion, Jennifer Lawrence got a little too candid about her bedroom antics. On The Howard Stern Show, the actress talked about what she prefers in bed and what not.

JLaw also asserted that she’s a “germaphobe” (a person who has a pathological fear of germs, bacteria, uncleanliness, contamination, and infection). As the star said:

I have made it this far without an STI. D**k is dangerous. If I was at the point where I could get an STI, doctors have already been involved. That is how much of a germaphobe I am.”

She added, “I am all bark and no bite.” Lawrence also made it clear in 2018 that she hadn’t had s*x in “a very long time.” But then she swiftly found marital bliss with Cooke. While happily hitched, Hollywood s*x scenes still don’t top Jen’s favorites list.

Jennifer Lawrence Admitted Being Drunk to Prep for a S*x Scene in Passengers

Jennifer Lawrence admitted feeling “so guilty” about her on-screen s*x scene with Chris Pratt in the 2016 film Passengers. To prepare for the simulated s*x scene, she shared that she got “really, really drunk” to the extent that she couldn’t recall the details of the filming process.

She revealed it during the discussion on The Hollywood Reporter’s annual Actress Roundtable. America’s favorite Cool Girl explained that when she got home she was like, “What have I done? I don’t know.”

The 33-year-old thought it was her “first time kissing a married man, and guilt is the worst feeling” in her stomach at that time. The Louisville native also recalled calling her mom:

“And I knew it was my job, but I couldn’t tell my stomach that. So I called my mom, and I was like, ‘Will you just tell me it’s OK?’ It was just very vulnerable. And you don’t know what’s too much. You want to do it real, you want everything to be real, but then… That was the most vulnerable I’ve ever been.”

The Oscar-winning actress still feels that on-screen s*x is “the most uns*xy thing in the world.” But looks like she has no problems with shooting n*de scenes.

While Lawrence has done n*de scenes previously, too, her portrayal in the 2023 raunchy romantic comedy, No Hard Feelings has garnered her significant attention. It left the audience gobsmacked as she goes fully n*de for a ridiculous fight scene in the flick.
