Barrymore said as reported by Entertainment Tonight. “What’s wrong with me that six months doesn’t seem like a very long time?”

She then went on to explain that she can “go for years” without having sex.

“I am someone who is deeply committed to fostering how young girls, my daughters, and myself as a woman, are supposed to function in this world!”
Drew is a mum of two and explained that she “needed to stay celibate” to mourn the loss of the “family” she had imagined.
She explained that she may have another intimate relationship one day but she isn’t thinking about it at the moment.
She said: “So for the record, I do not hate sex! I have just finally come to the epiphany that love and sex are simply not the same thing.”
This comes after the Hollywood star spoke out about how her mum used to let her smoke weed.

Even though she was allowed to smoke weed, she wasn’t allowed chocolate and used to sneak it past her mum.
On her podcast Drew’s News, the star revealed how alcohol and drugs were rife yet sugar was a big no-no.
The sugar ban came directly from her mum, Jaide Barrymore, who did not want the child actress to gain any weight.
She said: “I snuck chocolate in the closet.
“All the other habits were out in the open but the sugar was an in-the-closet thing,” Drew said.
