Thanks for sharing? Will Smith says he had an extreme response to having his heart broken for the first time: He developed a โpsychosomatic reactionโ to having an orgasm.
In his new memoir, Will, Smith recalls going into a tailspin after the end of his first serious relationship, according to excerpts and descriptions of the book published on multiple news sites.
Smith describes Melanie, the woman he was with, as โbeautifulโ with a โbeguiling mixture of insecurity and quirkiness surrounding a simmering core of artistic brilliance.โ He says in the memoir that Melanie had a difficult childhood and lived with her aunt because her mother was in prison for murdering her father.
However, after Melanieโs aunt kicked her out, Smith reportedly convinced his parents to let her stay at his house.
In his memoir, Smith describes Melanie as โthe centerโ of his life and admits he became preoccupied with โhealing the pain of her trauma.โ
But the relationship wasnโt destined to last. According to various reports about the bookโs contents, Smith says Melanie cheated on him while he was on tour and that he reacted by engaging in indiscriminate sex.
โI desperately need relief but as there is no pill for heartbreak, I resorted to the homeopathic remedies of shopping and rampant sexual intercourse,โ Smith writes.
He adds: โUp 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.โ
The rampant sex led to a bizarre side effect: A โpsychosomatic reactionโ to having an orgasm, according to Smith.
โI 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,โ he writes. โIt would literally make me gag and sometimes even vomit.โ
Smith said he was actually looking for love in these encounters.
โIn every case, though, I hoped to God this beautiful stranger would be โthe oneโ who would love me, who would make this pain go away,โ he writes. โBut invariably, there I was, retching and wretched. And the look in the eyes of the women even further deepened my agony.โ
Although Smith says he briefly reconciled with his first love, it apparently wasnโt meant to be.
The actor describes that period as a time of โresentment, rage, and destruction.โ According to descriptions of his book, he remembers gathering all the things heโd ever bought Melanie and making her watch as he set them on fire.
