Scarlett Johansson: 'Women shouldn't be afraid to talk about sex'

"Let's talk about sex baby, let's talk about you and me!"

Scarlett Johansson isn't one to mince her words and we love that. The sexy siren is bold and beautiful in every way, and what makes her that way, is probably how comfortable she is with her body, her mind and her sexuality. 

Dismayed by the way women are dubbed 'promiscuous' when they happen to speak their minds about sex or discuss intimate issues, the actress is on a mission to change the way people think, as well as set an example for her daughter, by addressing issues that hold high importance to her. 

As we're well aware, when men talk about sex, it's considered normal and expected, however, when women bring up such topics, they're frowned upon and looked at in a condecending manner, especially if they admit to enjoying sex. 

The stunning Avengers actress recently spoke her heart out to Cosmopolitain magazine, and we can't help but be impressed by her point of view. "When women talk about enjoying sex, it's almost forbidden. Just having a healthy sexual attitude, you are labelled as loose, wild, a slut. You have no morals, and you're seen as some kind of sexual deviant or someone who can't be in a monogamous relationship. The minute you talk about enjoying yourself, being curious, that is still taboo," she said. 

The 32-year-old fearlessly said that she would always make an effort to be open and vocal about all the things she enjoys, only to inspire others to be able to come forth and speak freely. 
"I hope it normalises the conversation," she told the magazine. "There's no reason we shouldn't be talking about our reproductive rights. They're something we have to fight for and continue to protect. There's nothing icky about talking about that stuff. Of course, it's private and it's your body, but we should take the stigma away," she added. 

Speaking about the example she wants to set for her daughter, the actress said that she needs to be the one leading by example, so that her daughter takes a leaf out of her book and stands up for issues she is passionate about. 

The beauty said, "Whenever you speak publicly, it's always a risk, right? Maybe you'll lose some followers, but if you have something to say, it can be really impactful. I hope my daughter finds her voice and feels like she can engage anyone in any number of topics."

Now that's truly progressive thinking, Scarlett. You're not only setting athe right example for your daughter, but for thousands of women around the world. More power to you, girl!
