eran actress Jenifer Lewis has sparked conversation online after opening up about her past struggles with sex addiction during a recent discussion with Keke Palmer.
Speaking candidly, Lewis revealed that she had been intimate with 63 men, admitting that at the time, she did not recognize her behavior as a problem.
“I slept with 63 men. Now that was fabulous, but I wish I had known my body was a temple,” she said.
Reflecting on her past, Lewis explained that sex had once been an escape for her, describing it as an addiction she did not fully understand at the time.
“I would have sex—sex was the drug,” she shared.
According to the actress, her perspective began to shift during the height of the AIDS epidemic, when the realities of life forced her to reevaluate her choices.
“It wasn’t until life got real and the AIDS epidemic hit that I went, ‘Wait a minute,’” she added.
Her revelations have since generated widespread reactions, with many praising her honesty while others reflected on changing attitudes toward sexual health, personal growth, and self-awareness.
Lewis’s story highlights the importance of reflection and understanding one’s habits, as well as how major societal events can influence personal decisions and life direction.
