The original story continues below.

Emily Simpson made not one but two confessions about her and her husband, Shane Simpson, on The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 17 Episode 8. 

Read on to hear just how candid Emily got — and how a few of her castmates, including Heather Dubrow, reacted.

Emily Simpson and Shane Simpson’s Sex Life

Shane’s Favorite “Part” of Emily

Emily and Shane had a joint waxing appointment at the beginning of the July 26 episode of RHOC, and as the couple was preparing to leave, the waxer asked Emily if there was “anything else” she wanted done. Shane, however, was the one to respond. His answer? Emily’s “butt.”

“He’s very into butts,” Emily told the waxer, prompting Shane to clarify, “No, I’m not very into butts. I’m just not into hairy butts.”

Emily disagreed, though. As she explained in a confessional, “Shane is a butt man, yes. I mean, he likes everything, but he likes to zero in on the butt. He smacks it, he grabs it, he takes photos of it. It’s a lot of action down there.”

Emily and Shane’s Bedroom Activities

Later on, Emily invited her RHOC castmates over to her mother-in-law’s. While on the subject of Shane’s mom, Emily told her friend Kristina, Gina Kirschenheiter’s friend Tatiana, and Heather, “I can’t keep up with my mother-in-law. She told me one time we were in Vegas, ‘You know the way to make a man happy is you just have sex with him all the time and you make him food.”

Emily, it turns out, has a different approach. “I make lots of movies. I hope nobody ever gets an accidental group text,” she said with a laugh.

“You’ve done a sex tape?!” Heather asked, to which Emily responded, “Oh my gosh. [Shane] is very freaky, so maybe. Then I’ll, like, see it later, and I’m like, ‘Oh my god… My ass looks huge. Like, delete that.’”

Heather maintained her shock in a confessional interview, during which an RHOC producer asked if she could “imagine” watching herself with her husband, Dr. Terry Dubrow. Her response? “Oh my gosh, I don’t even like watching myself on sitcoms! How would I want to watch myself having sex?!”

That’s not to say Heather wouldn’t call upon her acting skills should she and Terry ever decide to follow Emily and Shane’s lead. Back in the conversation, she said, “I would be, like, looking at the camera in the middle.”

Responded Emily, “That’s the actress in you.”
