The ‘Silicon Valley’ actor spills the beans on his sex life, says the couple had to get “nontraditional” in the bedroom because of his sexual appetite
In answer to Playboy’s 7th question (out of the 20), Thomas Middleditch spilled the beans on his marriage and intimate love life. It all started when the magazine brought up that the actor had once been to a swingers club. When asked whether he was part of the “swinging scene,” there was an unexpected “yes.” Well, he sure was skeptical before putting his cards on the table. “I don’t know how much I can say, because I don’t want my wife to be mad at me.”
‘Silicon Valley’ actor, Thomas Middleditch, shared pretty intimate details about his married love life
In fact, in the very candid interview, Thomas Middleditch said that this swinging lifestyle “saved” his marriage. (He has been married to Mollie Gates since 2015).
Spilling the non-traditional beans
Let’s hear it out in the 37-year-old’s own words. “Only after I got married was I like, ‘Mollie, I’m sorry, but we have to get nontraditional here.’ To her credit, instead of saying ‘F**k you, ‘I’m out,’ she was like, ‘Let’s figure this out.'”
Thomas Middleditch continued spiraling deep down into details “To be honest, swinging has saved our marriage. We have different speeds, and we argue over it constantly, but it’s better than feeling unheard and alone and that you have to scurry in the shadows. By the way, it’s now called being ‘part of the lifestyle.’ The term swinging is old.”
Later, the actor told that this is not the kind of lifestyle he initially planned to have with Mollie Gates.
“I self-deprecatingly call myself a pervert, but that’s not what it is. I just like it. I’m sexual,” Thomas Middleditch talks about his marriage and love life. “I’d always thought I was a romantic and that when I fall in love, that stuff fades away. It does for some years — enough to be like, ‘I should get married, and I’ll be different,’ but it’s part of me. If that’s part of your being and it feels important to you, find a way to explore it, because repression sucks.”
Gas and Brakes
Not only this, but Thomas Middleditch also revealed that he and his wife have some strict rules. “Mollie and I have created our own rules, and compared to most of the people we’ve met who do this kind of s**t, our rules are strict. We’re not off on our own; we’re together, a unit. It’s a perpetual state of management and communication, to the point where it’s like, ‘All right, we’ve got to stop. Chill.’ I’m gas, and she’s brakes. This is actually the premise for a comedy series we’re writing together.”
Moreover, Thomas Middleditch narrated the story about the first time he and his wife went to a swingers club. “There’s my wife and your girlfriend, Kelli. We all had a double date, and we went to this fun little place in Atlanta called Trapeze, which is a known adult swingers club,” Middleditch explained. “The first night that we’re all bonding, we saw each other naked. We didn’t do anything, but we certainly witnessed what a swingers club on Sunday night at like 1 a.m. is like. It’s pretty sparse, let me tell you that.”
