Billie Eilish on sex and masturbation: “Huge part” of life

Billie Eilish is the subject of a new Rolling Stone Cover storyand in it, she spends part of the conversation enthusiastically expressing her thoughts about sex and masturbation.

When asked what she does to relax, Eilish replied: “Sex. Basically, I talk about sex whenever I can. This is literally my favorite topic. As a woman, my experience is that it is seen in such strange ways. People are so uncomfortable talking about it and it scares them when women are very comfortable and communicative about their sexuality. I think it’s so frowned upon to talk about it and I think that should change. You asked me what I do to decompress? This shit can really, really save you sometimes, just saying it. To be honest, I couldn’t recommend it more.”

Of masturbation, she said: “TMI, but self-pleasure is a huge, huge part of my life and a huge, huge help to me.” People should jerk off, man. I can’t stress this enough as I have suffered from extreme body issues and dysmorphia my entire life.”

She then developed an interest in masturbating in front of a mirror and said:

“Partly because it’s hot, but it also gives me such a deep, deep connection to myself and my body and a love for my body that I’ve never had before. I have to say that it is very helpful to look at yourself in the mirror and think, “I look really good right now.” You can manipulate the situation you are in to make you look good. You can dim the lights super, you can wear a certain outfit or take a certain position that is more flattering. I learned that looking at myself and watching myself feel joy is a huge help in loving myself and accepting myself and feeling empowered and comfortable.”

She concluded her thoughts on the subject by declaring, “I should have a PhD while masturbating.”
