Brooks Laich is Indeed Taking Time to Explore His Sexuality Amid Marriage Trouble With Julianne Hough

As we previously reported, Julianne Hough’s husband, NHL star Brooks Laich, is eager to learn more about his sexuality in 2020.

Now, Brooks opened up even further on his podcast How Men Think with Gavin DeGraw, confessing that he doesn’t feel “100 percent fully expressed” in his true sexuality and that he is now taking a “pleasure first” approach to his life.

“One of my goals this year is to really explore like, learning about sexuality,” he said. “People think that sexuality is just the act of sex, of just having sex and there’s so much more to it. Here’s a question. This is an honest question for everybody in this room, and every single person listening: Are you fully 100 percent fully expressed in your true sexuality? With your partner? With everything? You could not imagine having a better sex life? Are you truly there? I’m not either. So that’s what one of my goals this year is to really dive into. So then we’re all essentially, that’s a state of suffering.”

He continued: “We’re not 10s of 10s. It doesn’t mean you’re the best performer. It just means, ‘Are you fully expressed?’ Do you even know who you are sexually? And I truly, to my core, do not. But I’m super excited about that journey to really learn about sexuality and also get better at the performance of it, but also just the understanding of who I am, who my wife is, that sort of dance.”

Despite his openness, it’s been reported that the couple recently hit a rough patch in their marriage.

One source told People that they “have been having problems for months.” Still, perhaps exploring their sexuality might help.

A little openness in sex never hurt nobody, right?
