New mum Alves slaps sex ban on McConaughey
By ANIFriday, January 29, 2010
WASHINGTON - Matthew McConaughey has been banned from sex for six weeks - while his Brazilian girlfriend Camila Alves recovers after the birth of their daughter Vida.
According to Brazilian tradition, Alves must give her body 40 days to recover after the birth - and that means no exercise, and especially no sex.
“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,” Contactmusic quoted Alves as telling StyleList.com.
“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,” she added. (ANI)
