Jessica Alba Talks Sexuality and Why She'll Never Go Nude

By Simone Hilliard

To hear Jessica Alba tell it, she's not sexy. In fact, the soon-to-be mother of two who held the top spot on Maxim's "Hot 100" list in 2001 and received the distinguished honor of being voted FHM's "Sexiest Woman in the World" in 2007, says she wasn't truly aware of her sexuality until the 2008 birth of her daughter Honor.

Mrs. Warren told the August issue of Allure magazine:

"I was quite shy with [my sexuality.] It wasn't something I embraced until I had my daughter. I saw how incredible and amazing it is to be a woman and to be able to create a life.
There's a reason why certain areas of the body are desirable—because it all leads to reproduction. There's a science behind it all."

But if you think Alba's newfound mami sexual prowess will translate on the big screen, think again. La actriz, who once threatened to sue Playboy after the mag used her image on the cover when the then 24-year-old contributed to an interior article but did not pose nude, says that she will not bare all anytime soon, if ever.

On her somewhat semi-nude career thus far, Jessica shared:

"At least I'm still covered. I'm wearing as much as a bathing suit. It's not like I'm naked. I'm not terribly comfortable with being in a bikini, but covering up my genitals is different than not covering up my genitals, at the end of the day. I do see a difference in that, to put it really frankly."

We'd agree with that! Up next for Alba is the August release of the family flick Spy Kids: All the Time in the World, and of course, the upcoming birth of her second child with husband Cash Warren.

Leave your well wishes for the happy mami in the comments, or @MTV3.
