Courteney Cox to Howard Stern: David Arquette Wants Sex Too Much

Apparently over-sharing is a common trait in the Cox-Arquette household.
Courteney Cox joined estranged husband David Arquette for a raunchy Thursday radio interview on Howard Stern's Sirius XM show -- and shockingly revealed even more about some of the sexual and emotional problems that led to their trial separation.

The Cougar Town actress, 46, didn't flinch when Stern grilled her for details about the instantly-infamous Disney World trip with Arquette -- when she shut down his frisky advances.
"It was early in the morning," Cox explained of the incident. (The couple were in the Magic Kingdom with their daughter Coco, 6.) "This is one of our problems in our relationship. Whenever I would need consoling from David, he could not literally put his arm around me for one second without completely getting a boner."

She added: "[He] was never like, 'Oh, I'm so sorry your Dad is dying. Can we f**k?'"
Arquette, 39, interjected: "Come on!"
"No, that's the truth," she countered.
"That time I was good," Arquette said. (Her father, Richard Cox, died of cancer in 2001.)
"Okay, maybe that one time," Cox acquiesced. "So [Disney World] just wasn't the right time and I don't want to confuse the issue. We're going through a hard time."

"He should be able to console you without it having to result in sex," co-host Robin Quivers noted.
"Exactly!" Cox said.
"I'm always ready for [Courteney]," Arquette explained. "I know I'm more in touch with what she needs now...She takes one sort of thing and she clumps it [and says] that's what happens all the time in our relationship. It's not really true."
As the chat progressed, Arquette got even more frank (and despairing) with Cox: "I think you're over it, baby. You just need to admit it and we just need to figure out next steps."

"Wow, that's heavy," she said. "You can't count [Disney World] as the place where you know I'm not into you. I had just woken up. I don't think [sexual attraction] is the issue. The truth of the matter is that we love each other so much. We have such affection for each other but we are very different."
One thing that's not an issue for the pair, who wed in 1999: "We are not fighters," Cox said. "We probably don't get as real as we needed to as we do now. there are a lot of things that David likes to do completely the opposite things I do. I'm a homebody. David...doesn't drink anymore, he's completely sober, but he likes to go out and dance. "

"I don't want to inhibit him in his life," Cox explained. "He really is a very gregarious guy, he's very outgoing. I'm much more of an introvert."
Has Cox had sex since their announced split? "I have not had sex," she insisted.

She also added that she's not romantically involved with any of her Cougar Town costars (despite speculation about flings with Josh Hopkins and Brian van Holt). "They really don't want to get involved in this mess. These guys actually really like David, and I'm also Executive Producer of the show, it's kind of an awkward thing."
During her sexy-looking St. Bart's getaway with Hopkins, she said, "I was a little surprised, to be honest with you, that I didn't get hit on at all. I think [my costars] like David too much and it's too weird of a situation."
Tell Us What You Think
22Doing the nasty with David Arquette. I just threw up in my mouth a little.
I like Courtney, but Howard Stern..that's low.
Even the couples who split need PR, usually they are hanging all over each other, this is different anyway.
Why in the world are they giving the world information about their marital problems? TMI PEOPLE TMI!!
The way they are spilling all the beans around seems fabricated to keep the media on them. Very tacky, seems like that couple Pratt and what-is-his-wife's name, the one that got one too many plastic surgery. All this private disclosing is actually shameful to attract the media attention.
seriously - why does ANYONE give a rats ass what is going on with these two? there is some desperation on BOTH parts here!
People don't see how stupid this is because they live vicariously though these kinds of celebrities. I'm sorry but I would have to ask - Gee Courtney has David changed that much over the course of your relationship?? My guess is no and so she uses sex as a tool to punish and reward him because she's getting old and tired and rather than accept her own limitations physically or emotionally she'd rather dump it all in his lap. The two of them are tools plain and simple and my sympathy is with the kid. The kid deserves two parents who realize that life is more important than how they are "feeling".
Ow God.. I like Courtney but this is too much to tell.. It's your husband for God sake... Why humiliate him on front of public..
HAHAHA...She should be happy some loser still WANTS to phuck her, shes an old plastic bag of cosmetic enhancement, nothing about her is real anymore and she shoudlnt be bragging about some loser drug head wanting to phuck her...shes an old hag, hes old too, they are both dinosaurs, no one cares to hear about she has too much sex, thats just gross, thats like thinking about your parents phuking...nasty, and too old.
I don't mind them sharing private details (if that's what they want to do, then so be it), but Courtney just can't seem to shut her mouth. Every talk show circuit she's done this week is filled with marital details.
Scream 4 will be out tomorrow. PR anyone.
OH gross I think I just threw up on the floor!!!!!!
Its a shame some dont see how disgusting and no class this is. And people ARE allowed to comment WHERE they wish to.
courtney is as much a child as he is.
TMI from BOTH of them. Bleh.
If you think they should stop airing dirty laundry then stop being interested in them and their life. If they didnt share you would say that they were to closed off to be real now they share and let everyone know that even famous Hollywood types have issues in their marriages and you call it over sharing.....
OK, do these people have no boundaries? Like we really give a damn about their sex life?!?!? Stop already! You 2 have a child you need to protect, start acting like parents.
very refreshing to hear this kind of honesty from two celebrities being run through the tabloid-divorce-hoopla-ringer. Howard is the best and so are these two!
If people are tired of them oversharing, then stop reading/listening. I think it's very refreshing and may actually help couples going through the same exact situation.
They need to just get a damn divorce, and shut up already. I'm tired of both of them oversharing.
