Jessica Alba is glowing on the cover of Cosmo, and inside she talks love and sex. She discusses how she fell for her husband and the sexual double standards between men and women.

On falling for Cash: “We met on the set of The Fantastic Four in 2005. I remember thinking right away, ‘What a great guy.’ The first week we got together, he gave me a note saying, ‘I really, really like you.’ And that was exactly how I felt. Cash believes, as I do, in taking life as it comes. Nothing was planned – the pregnancy or the wedding – but he took it in his stride and convinced me we’d conquer all! I love that. He makes me laugh more than anyone — and he’s great looking too…”

On what surprises her about men, and double standards: “How easily they’re attracted to the obvious. All you have to do is dress up in a sexy outfit. When I went blonde for Sin City three years ago, I swear I’ve never had more male attention. [...] I don’t like double standards. I’d never use a man for sex but I can understand why some women would – and I don’t see why they should be criticized for having the same attitude as men.”
