“And I think she comes from the mindset that many of course will be super happy to have such an enthusiastic woman,” he continued.
“And yet right now we’re seeing Josh coming from a place where he’s a little more timid. His personality doesn’t want to go there, and at this point in his life he’s thinking that he prioritizes other things.’
Melissa and Josh butted heads on their honeymoon after Josh lied to the producers about the couple’s consummation of their marriage.
“For Melissa, there’s a lot of empowerment behind her sexual comfort and sexual zest,” Alessandra said on the official MAFS podcast.
The businessman told the producers that they had simply kissed, when in fact they had slept together.
When Melissa found out, she was distraught and confronted Josh, sharing her fear that he might not be interested in her if he couldn’t be open about his sex life.
‘You can say you’ve fucked me and we’ve had sex, that’s fine!’ she screamed.
“I think she comes from the mindset that many of course will be super happy to have such an enthusiastic woman,” Alessandra said of Melissa.
“I would never put it like that, but yeah, I get what you’re saying,” she said sheepishly.
“You’re so conservative about it,” he complained.
Speaking to the producers later, an emotional Josh finally admitted that he and Melissa had “been intimate.”
“I would never talk about those things in real life,” he said. “I have conservative Christian parents, so I didn’t really feel the need to shout it from the rooftops.”
“We’re seeing Josh come from a place where he’s a little more timid. His personality doesn’t want to go there, and at this point in his life he’s thinking that he prioritizes other things,’ he said.
