"Joanne gave birth to a sexual creature," Newman said in an excerpt obtained by People magazine. "We left a trail of lust all over the place. Hotels and public parks and Hertz Rent-A-Cars."
The book delves into Newman's early insecurities during his teenage years in Shaker Heights, Ohio, where he needed special permission to join the high school football team due to his small size. Newman also opened up about his lack of self-confidence and early failures with women.
