Drew Barrymore and Valerie Bertinelli get candid about sex dreams: 'Not exclusive to men'
“Drew’s News” is the segment for hot topics, after all.
On Tuesday’s episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, the host brings up a recent TIME magazine report decoding the secret of sex dreams — which leads to a candid admission from Drew Crew member Valerie Bertinelli.
Barrymore, 51, opens up the conversation by admitting it’s been “years” since she last had a sex dream. “This brain ain’t working. I don’t know what is going on,” she confesses. “I feel like I used to have really sexy dreams and wake up really turned on. And it’s just gone, it’s not there.”
“Even the men in your dreams are ghosting you,” jokes cohost Ross Mathews.
Barrymore then asks Bertinelli about her own most recent subconscious fantasy. “Not too long ago,” admits the 65-year-old actress. In fact, the dream was about someone she knew.
Yet that isn't even the most shocking admission from Bertinelli, who recently released the memoir Getting Naked: The Quiet Work of Becoming Perfectly Imperfect.

“But have you had a sex dream where you climaxed?” she asks. “That’s the good one.” Barrymore seems unfazed at first, agreeing, “I don’t think it’s exclusive to men, for sure.”
However, things get a little, well, wet, when Mathews makes a crack just as Barrymore takes a sip from her yellow “Drew’s News” mug.

“I love that Val can sit in front of so many people and just, ‘climax,’” he quips — prompting Barrymore to spit water all over the desk.
As she cleans up the mess, Mathews can't help but joke, “Now, she’s turned on.”
The Drew Barrymore Show airs weekdays on CBS.
