Pursuit of Happyness actor Will Smith, sitting with Oprah Winfrey for her Apple+ TV series The Oprah Conversation, has revealed details about his sex life with wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith, who has in recent weeks been under massive public scrutiny for her own comments on intimidate details of their marriage.

During an October 27 episode of her online show, Red Table Talk, with Goop creator Gwyneth Paltrow, Pinkett-Smith shared some of her thoughts on sex and accountability.

“The thing that Will and I talk about a lot is the journey… we started in this at a very young age… 22 years old. That’s why the accountability part really hit for me because I think you expect your partner to know, especially when it comes to sex. If you love me you should know… if you love me you should read my mind.”

Since the interview, the Smiths’ sex life has been the centre of attention and her comments, misconstrued, had members of the public claiming the couple have been and are experiencing problems in the bedroom.

Since then, Will and Jada have taken to different mediums in an effort to clear the apparent misconception about their bedroom life.

The 52-year-old Smith, who addressed the matter on The Oprah Conversation, shared that he would satisfy his wife sexually or die trying.

Released on November 9, Smith’s memoir, titled Will, had some interesting tidbits about his sex life with Pinkett-Smith.

During the interview, Winfrey read an excerpt from the memoir, where Smith wrote that, at the start of his romance with his wife, who is now 50, the two “drank every day, and had sex multiple times every day, for four straight months”.

He added: “I started to wonder if this was a competition. Either way, as far as I was concerned, there were only two possibilities. 1) I was going to satisfy this woman sexually, or 2) I was going to die trying.”

Will continued to speak on the connection he and his wife of 24 years have built.

“You know, those early days were spectacular,” he said.

“Me and Jada, to this day, if we start talking, it’s four hours. It’s four hours if we exchange a sentence. And it’s like, it’s the centre of why we’ve been able to sustain and why we’re still together, not choking the life out of each other. It’s like the ability to work through issues… I’ve just never met another person that I connect with in conversation more blissfully and productively than Jada.”
