Camila Enforces a Strict “Leave Me Alone” Rule
Matthew McConaughey has been banned from sex for 40 days. Holy cow, that’s big news. How will he survive?
Camila Alves had little baby Vida almost 20 days ago and has every right to keep her husband off of her for another 20.
I’m not sure why this is news and literally all over the place, like it’s just unheard of for a woman to not want to get right back to it, after having a baby.
Camila is following Brazilian tradition that disallows exercise and sex.
She said, “Where I come from, we believe in something we call a 40-day break after the baby. You have to let your body do its own thing. You give it time to recover and let everything settle down. In a way, it is nice. There is not so much pressure. You kind of respect all the hard work your body has just done and give it a break. For these 40 days you really take it easy. By that I mean no sex, light, healthy food, no trips to the gym. Then, after 40 days, you are good to go.”
Sounds like a plan to me.
She did say that she’s eager to get back exercising. She says it’s for her “head,” but I wonder if it has anything to do with the crazy demands of the media. You know the whole body after baby pressure.
I was supposed to post this a couple days ago, but decided to take the kids to the snow. My apologies!
