Juliette Lewis prefers sex with love

Juliette Lewis thinks good sex only comes to people who are in a long-term loving relationship.

Juliette Lewis believes a healthy sexy life only comes with a relationship.

The 37-year-old star - who has dated Brad Pitt and married professional skateboarder Steve Berra in 1999, eventually divorcing four years later - would love to get married again because she is "very traditional".

She said: "I'm very traditional in some senses; I believe in love in a monogamous relationship - healthy sex within that - meaning, to me, good sex only comes from a loving relationship. I don't have it any other way."

The actress-and-singer would like to have children eventually but only if she can find the right partner first.

She admitted to Stella magazine: "I'd like children. But my yearning towards motherhood comes out of love; I have it when I'm in love with somebody. So it's not just wanting to be a mom regardless, which some people have. I only feel it if I'm in love, so we'll see how that goes."

Juliette was recently in a relationship, but the romance came to an end after the pair struggled to come to an agreement on making it work when they spent so much time apart.

She said: "I was seeing someone who was really lovely who I liked a lot - he just lived on the other side of the world darn it.

"We met on the road because he was a travelling musician as well. Anyway, I love him a lot but we're not together. The geography didn't matter to me. I saw things differently to him. Where there's a will there's a way. But he did not see that."
