Ross Mathews thinks it’s perfectly okay for Drew Barrymore to take a break from her popular daytime talk show to engage in some intimate activities as he openly supported the idea during their show today.
During the morning’s episode of Drew’s News, Ross, Drew, and Antoni Porowski from “Queer Eye” delved into the concept of having designated days off for sexual activities. According to a recent report by ZipHealth, offering employees paid time off for intimacy can enhance both productivity and loyalty in the workplace.
While Porowski expressed his support for promoting a positive attitude towards sex and eradicating any sense of shame surrounding it, he did question the necessity of divulging the exact reason for taking a day off to one’s employer.
“Is it necessary to tell your boss that you need a sex day? Why not be like, ‘I just need a me day’?” he wondered. “It’s still honest.”
Mathews then turned to Barrymore, who happens to be a boss herself, and asked what she would do if one of her employees asked for a day off so they could have “24 hours of pure sex.”
“I would say, like, ‘I’m so happy for you,’” Barrymore reluctantly told her co-host, before adding, “But I am very conditioned to, like, you do not miss work. You don’t cause financial distress by missing a day.”
However, Mathews wanted Barrymore — who hasn’t been in a relationship since her 2016 divorce from Will Kopelman — to take the opportunity should she find the right guy.
“You have been very open on this show that it has been years and years and years since you’ve had a day like that. So if you get one, girl, take the day off,” he said. “We will run a repeat!”
Barrymore first opened up about her lackluster sex life in a September 2022 episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, during which she weighed in on Andrew Garfield’s decision to abstain from sex and food for months while he was working on n Martin Scorsese’s 2016 film Silence.
“What’s wrong with me that six months doesn’t seem like a very long time? I was like, ‘Yeah so?’” Barrymore said at the time, while Mathews joked, “We buried the lede there, that’s the headline. Drew can go six months, no big deal.”
But Barrymore clarified, “Years.”
