Marissa Jaret Winokur won a Tony Award for Broadway's Hairspray over a decade ago. Now at 41, Marissa is stepping out of her comfort zone with ALL ABOUT SEX, debuting on TLC tomorrow. The show aims to be The View's raunchy, late-night cousin.

Yahoo Style caught up with the uncensored actress, where she chatted about losing her virginity, plus-size sex, Fifty Shades of Grey and what happened that time when she and Pamela Anderson went to Las Vegas. Read the article in full here

Article highlights include:

On having her husband sign a sex waiver: "Right before they started running commercials, the network was like, "He needs to sign this waiver that says he's allowed to be talked about." So he can't go back and sue TLC. I'm like, "Just sign this." He's like, "I don't think my lawyer would want me to sign this." Well, you kinda have to! I'm just your crazy actress wife."

Margaret Cho's sex advice: "I'm like, "I have a 6-year-old, and I'm tired, and after bringing in the trash I don't care about sex." She's like, "Well, you should bring someone into your relationship. Bring a new couple in and swing." I'm like, "First of all, that's more people to disappoint. And more people to share my food with."

On where she learned about sex: "From my girlfriends. Our answers were urban legends. I got my period, and I didn't know what it was. I also didn't know I would be getting it every month. I genuinely believed, "I had my period, and now it's over.. We believed that if a guy came anywhere around your body, you were pregnant. That was it! Tell your mother! You're pregnant!"

How she lost her virginity: "My first time was a disaster. First of all, it was at 4 o'clock in the afternoon - at sleep-away camp - with a person who was considerably older. My girlfriend was knocking on the door the whole time because it was 4 o'clock in the afternoon."

On having plus-size sex: "There are a lot of misconceptions. I like my relationship with my body at this weight, as opposed to 20 or 30 pounds lighter. I'm so much more sexual. I have boobs. I call this "happy fat." I joke about how I know how to lie in bed and look good naked."
