Kevin Smith Talks About the Sexual Benefits of Having a Slimmer Waistline (VIDEO)

Kevin Smith got a lot of press a while back when his weight became an issue on a commercial airline. Since then, he's shed a lot of those extra pounds, and it's made a difference in many aspects of his life.

On 'Chelsea Lately' (Weeknights, 11PM ET on E!), he went into the details of one aspect that we might not have cared that much about, but we concede that it's probably a big deal for him.

"When I was heavier, I couldn't be a 'top'," the director admitted. As he described it, his wife "climbs the mountain."

However, now that he's slimmed down a bit, he's found some variety in the bedroom. "Hey, flip over," he's told his wife, diversifying his romantic repertoire.

"I feel like a high school kid again," he said with a wry smile. That's the kind of positive and uplifting story that may suffer from too-much-information syndrome, but you can't help feeling happy for the guy.

He should start going on speaking tours to discuss the benefits of losing weight and living a healthier lifestyle. This particular talking point just might hit home to a lot of people.
