Matthew McConaughey is getting candid about his past. In a new interview on Amanda de Cadenet's  podcast, McConaughey spoke about being blackmailed into having sex as a teenager and being drugged and molested by a man when he was18, something he's previously spoken about in his book, Greenlights.

While he wouldn't go into too much detail about either incident, he said he knew that something was wrong — in both situations -- based on the guidance he received from his parents.In talking to de Cadenet, McConaughey recalled the first time he learned about consent and what his father taught him about sex and sexual intimacy.«Well, I had been taught, been guided by my parents about respect for a woman, respect for the relationship, respect for sexual intimacy, respect for space,» McConaughey said. «My dad had always had this thing when he taught us the birds and the bees, he sat me down talking the birds and the bees, he said, 'You're getting that age you kiss?' and I said, 'Yes, sir.' And he goes, 'Well, it's gonna go further than that one day.

It's probably gonna go to where you're gonna get intimate and there's gonna be the breast, and there's gonna be below the belt,' I'm paraphrasing, and he goes, 'It's gonna happen to you as well.'»He continued, «And so he goes, and he's talking to me, he says, 'Son, as a male in the situation,' speaking to me about a heterosexual relationship, 'If you ever feel the girl, the female, hesitate, stop.' He even said this, he goes, 'You may even feel them hesitate, and then after you stop, they may go, oh, no, no, come on.

Don't. Wait till next time.' And he was right, I got in certain senses where it was like, 'No, no, no. Ok, I'm out.' And saying, 'Ok, cool.
