Will Smith said he indulged in so much ‘hyena’ sex that he developed a pretty wild bodily reaction to his orgasms. How lovely.
Smith, who first found fame back in 1990 playing a fictionalised version of himself in The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, opened up about his sex life in his memoir Will.
In the book, Smith detailed the period following the break-up with his first serious girlfriend - a woman named Melanie.
The split left poor Smith ‘heartbroken’ and he soon turned to other women for solace - a lot of other women by the sounds of it.

He explained: “I desperately needed relief but as there is no pill for heartbreak, I resorted to the homeopathic remedies of shopping and rampant sexual intercourse.” Fair enough.
Smith went on to say that he had so much of this ‘rampant intercourse’ that he reckons he developed a ‘psychosomatic reaction’ to having orgasms that left him feeling particularly unwell.
“Up until this point in my life I had only had sex with one woman other than Melanie, but over the next few months I went full ghetto hyena,” he wrote.
“I had sex with so many women and it was so constitutionally disagreeable to the core of my being, that I developed a psychosomatic reaction to having an orgasm. It would literally make me gag and sometimes even vomit.”

I’m sure that went down a treat with his partners.
Putting this period of promiscuity behind him, in 1992 he tied the knot with Sheree Zampino and the pair had a son - Trey - the same year.
However, the union wasn’t to last and in 1995 they divorced.
Smith then married Jada Pinkett-Smith in 1997, with the couple going on to have children Jaden and Willow.

The pair are still married, but it’s safe to say they’ve been through plenty of ups and downs through the years - from Pinket-Smith’s admission of an ‘entanglement’ with another man to her revelation that they had actually been separated for years but didn’t plan on divorcing.
Speaking to People last year, where she said had been separated for six years prior to the 2022 Oscars - where Smith infamously slapped Chris Rock for making a joke about Pinkett-Smith.
She told the publication: “We’re still figuring it out. We’ve been doing some really heavy-duty work together.
"We just got deep love for each other and we are going to figure out what that looks like for us.”
