  • The Real co-host Adrienne Houghton revealed she can't go more than a day without having sex.

  • Houghton alluded to needing some form of intercourse every 12 hours, whether it's with her husband, Israel Houghton, or herself.


Adrienne Houghton loves to have sex-and she's not afraid to admit it.

When her fellow The Real co-hosts Loni Love, Tamera Mowry-Housley, and Jeannie Mai asked her how often she likes to have sex, Houghton got candid.

"With somebody or with myself?" she asked at first.

Love quickly replied: "I'm talking period. No orgasms...no toys, no nothing."

Houghton took some time to thoughtfully ponder the question before admitting: "I'd say a good 12 hours. That's a long time! That's turnaround time."

Mowry-Housely immediately started laughing, "I though you were gonna say 12 days!" she said. Love added, "That's not even a day!"

Houghton was unbothered, however. "I know! I don't know how this having a baby thing is going to work out in the future."

Houghton tied the knot to gospel singer Israel Hougton in November 2016. Before the two got married, they confessed to practicing abstinence until their wedding night. And Houghton received quite the wedding night surprise when he discovered his wife had decorated their hotel room with pictures from a sexy boudoir shoot she'd done for him.

"You don't understand, we've waiting for this moment...When I opened the door, I walked in and I saw these gigantic portraits all over the suite of this beautiful woman, um... not wearing much at all," he said on his wife's show The Real.

Almost two years into their marriage, Adrienne has been open about her post-abstinence sex life with her husband. Back in June 2018, she said: "I have not missed a day." Her castmastes joked that things might change once she's been married a little longer.
