Love & Passion Quote by Alyssa Milano

"I feel a lot healthier when I'm having sex. Physically. I feel all these jitters when I wake up in the morning. Just energy jitters. I take vitamins, I work out every day. When I'm having sex, I don't have that"

About this Quote

Milano’s candor lands because it refuses the tidy, wellness-influencer script. She lists the approved rituals first - vitamins, daily workouts - then undercuts them with a blunt admission that her body still hums with “energy jitters.” The phrase is doing double duty: it’s a physical symptom, but it also sounds like modern life’s baseline state, the anxious overcharge you’re supposed to metabolize with clean living and discipline. Her pivot to sex isn’t just confessional; it’s a critique of the way we sanitize health into spreadsheets and routines while treating pleasure like an extracurricular.

The specificity matters. She’s not talking about sex as romance or validation; she’s describing it as regulation, a way her nervous system settles. That’s a riskier claim than it looks, especially coming from a public-facing actress whose body has always been part of the job. There’s a quiet pushback here against the cultural reflex to police women’s desire: she frames sex as self-care without the euphemisms, insisting it has measurable effects on her mood and body.

Contextually, this reads like early-2000s-to-2010s celebrity openness, when stars started speaking in the language of therapy and “body positivity,” but still got punished for sounding “too much.” Milano’s intent feels practical rather than provocative: to normalize the idea that libido isn’t a moral issue, and that “health” includes the messy, pleasurable mechanisms that actually calm us down.
