Paris Hilton has opened up about her sex life.
The 42-year-old socialite recently shared that she thought she was asexual before meeting her husband, Carter Reum.
She says she started to think of herself as asexual - a term used to describe people with no sexual desire - in her twenties because her past sexual experiences, including a leaked sex tape in 2004, made her terrified of getting intimate with anybody.

In the March 2023 cover story for Harper's Bazaar magazine, she said, "I was known as a sex symbol, but anything sexual terrified me. I called myself the 'kissing bandit' because I only liked to make out. A lot of my relationships didn't work out because of that."
However, all that changed when she met Carter at a family friend's thanksgiving gathering in 2019.
They embarked on a whirlwind romance, moving in together in 2020 and tying the knot in November 2021. With her husband, she found a new level of trust, and this changed her outlook on sex.

"It wasn't until Carter that I finally am not that way. I enjoy hooking up with my husband," she laughed before adding, "I just feel like after all the hell I've been through, I'm getting what I deserve, which is someone I can trust and someone to build a real life with."
She noted that the venture capitalist is different to the men she was typically attracted to. "He's not famous. He's smart. He comes from a nice family. He's a good person. It was the opposite of what I had been used to when I was looking for guys," the star told the magazine.
