“I love the fact that so many people had an opinion on it. It made me laugh because I wasn’t trying to make a statement,” Bure, 44, told Fox News. “This is just how my husband and I are.

“You know, we adore each other and we still have fun and we’re spicy together.”

Bure, who has been married to hockey player Valeri Bure for nearly 25 years, maintained that longtime couples don’t have to lose sexual desire.

“We have a playful, loving marriage and I think that’s why we’re still married 24 years later,” she continued. “But I did respond because I always get bummed out when people have been married for so long and then I feel like the joke is always like, ‘Oh, we’re married – so that means we don’t have sex anymore.’ And it’s kind of like that a lot.

“And so I thought it was just a cute, funny picture and it was playful and it’s very much reflective of our personalities in real life.”

The former “Full House” star acknowledged her Christian fan base’s modest values but said the fun photo was just a sign of her “healthy” marriage.

“I just wanted to say it because I had no shame in posting that picture. You know, nothing was exposed, I didn’t think it was immodest,” she reiterated. “It was just two people having fun and we’ve been married for 24 years, but together for 26 years. So I just am like, hey, the playfulness doesn’t stop just because you’re married.”

Bure previously defended the photo — and reposted it — and said her husband is welcome to touch her.

“He can touch me any time he wants, and I hope he does,” she wrote. “This is what a healthy, good marriage and relationship is all about.”
