Jana Kramer DEFENDS husband Allan Russell over polarizing masturbating remarks

Jana Kramer defended her husband Allan Russell against backlash over his comments about masturbating since becoming a married man. 

After revealing he no longer saw a point in pleasuring himself since they tied the knot last July, the English soccer coach, 44, was widely criticized for sharing such a NSFW confession about his sex life. 

Weeks after her spouse made the revelation on her Whine Down podcast, the One Tree Hill star, 41, reminded listeners he made the confession on her episode about sex.

‘It was a sex episode with a doctor who specializes in intimacy, in sexual relationships,’ the mother-of-three stressed. ‘It’s not like he just randomly was like, “I don’t masturbate.” We were having a conversation.’

She continued: ‘Everyone just sees the headline but doesn’t really know where it came from or the story behind it.’ 

Kramer explained the topic of conversation came up when she ‘asked how many couples would be upset if their partner masturbated.’

Although Russell insisted he is more than satisfied with their ‘healthy’ sex life, Kramer stated she would not be upset if he masturbated. 

‘I don’t like porn because it triggers from the past,’ she said. ‘I don’t hate that he doesn’t [masturbate] but I wouldn’t be mad at him [if he did.]’

As for whether Russell was bothered by all the headlines about his masturbating habits, the best-selling author revealed her man ‘was so lovely about it.’ 

‘He goes, “To be honest, it could have read Jana Kramer’s husband can’t stop masturbating. I see it as respectful, honoring my wife.” I was like, “I love your answer to that.” He did not care for a second and took it as a, “I’m a man who honors his wife,'” she gushed. 

On the Wednesday, July 9, episode of Kramer’s Whine Down podcast, Russell said ‘there’s no point where’ he’s ‘actually’ felt like masturbating since their wedding.

‘There’s a part of me [that] is like, I know it’s going to come, so I’m not going to ruin it by doing what I need to do selfishly for myself to then diminish or ruin the thing that we have together,’ he explained. 

He continued: ‘Therefore I just don’t feel like doing it because I would rather have her than go into the bathroom or whatever it is and masturbate.’ 

Prior to their relationship, he admitted that he would ‘masturbate a lot’ when he was single and felt like it.

This was not the first time Kramer’s husband has said something headline-worthy on the podcast as back in December he engaged in a candid discussion about her acting career on Whine Down.

During the show, the actress and her beau chatted about recent Yellowstone sex scenes, prompting the former soccer star to share his unfiltered opinion about why he won’t accept his wife being intimate onscreen.

‘I was just like, “There’s not part of me that will ever, ever, ever allow that, ever, for a man to be that close to you like that,”‘ Allan said about his wife potentially filming raunchy scenes.

Kramer, who shares one-year-old son Roman with the retired athlete, asked if he’d change his mind if she were cast on a huge series like Yellowstone. 

He answered, ‘I’ll be, like, phoning the producers and threatening the producers — “You need to change that scene. For the good of your health, you need to change this scene.”

‘It was a sex episode with a doctor who specializes in intimacy, in sexual relationships,’ the mother-of-three stressed. ‘It’s not like he just randomly was like, “I don’t masturbate”‘

‘That’s not good for a marriage, that type of role, it’s not, especially [for] a man who’s not in the acting world. It’s difficult. So, therefore, that’s my opinion based on [the fact that] I’m not in that world.’ 

To drive his point home, the Scottish athlete said to his wife: ‘Can you imagine that we’re both actors in a situation where I’ve stripped this woman naked and I start to go down on her. How would you like that, babe?’

The One Tree Hill star weighed in about acting out physical scenes: ‘It’s literally the most uncomfortable thing ever.’

She also noted that love scenes are typically filmed with only the actors and sound techs on set.

‘It’s so uncomfortable for the people that are doing it. And it’s not a sexy thing,’ the seasoned performer shared.

The television star explained that she doesn’t prefer those kinds of scenes, but understands they come with the territory.
