London, March 10 (IANS) 'Avatar' actress Zoe Saldana has revealed her passion for sex and claims she cannot live without it.

'S is for Sex. Love it, love it, love it... can't live without it. I love sex. I love skin. I don't believe the body is something to hide. I think in American society we're messing up our kids by taking away the education on, and awareness of, our sexuality and replacing it with violence, guns and video games-and we're breeding little criminals,' she said.

Saldana, who lives with her long-term boyfriend Keith Britton, says she is proud of her body and thinks people should be encouraged to take a greater interest in their sexuality from a young age to stop them turning to crime, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

The 31-year-old star also admitted she won't rule out ever starring in a graphic sex scene in any of her movies.

'If you asked a painter, 'Are you going to paint in red?' the answer would be, 'I'm going to paint paintings and if one day there is red in it, there's red in it',' she said.
