Billie Eilish is gearing up for the release of her new album Hit Me Hard and Soft, which drops on May 17, so she’s spilling tea in a bunch of interviews. In her latest profile for Rolling Stone, the singer revealed she’s got a thing for masturbating in front of a mirror.
It’s giving confidence, and I’m here for it.
When the reporter asked what she does to “decompress”, she answered: “sex”, and it’s her fave topic to talk about. She’s here to get rid of taboos around sexuality, and that’s why she’s a real Gen-Z queen.
“People are so uncomfortable talking about [sex], and weirded out when women are very comfortable in their sexuality and communicative in it. I think it’s such a frowned-upon thing to talk about, and I think that should change,” she said.
“You asked me what I do to decompress? That shit can really, really save you sometimes, just saying. Can’t recommend it more, to be real.”
Billie also touched on the body dysmorphia she’s had throughout her life, saying that masturbation is a way to help her feel more connected with herself.
“People should be jerking it, man. I can’t stress it enough, as somebody with extreme body issues and dysmorphia that I’ve had my entire life,” she added.
The “Bad Guy” singer is particularly fond of engaging in self-pleasure while looking at herself in the mirror, because self-love and self-pleasure go hand-in-hand.
“[I do it] partly because it’s hot, but it also makes me have such a raw, deep connection to myself and my body, and have a love for my body that I have not really ever had [previously]… I have learned that looking at myself and watching myself feel pleasure has been an extreme help in loving myself and accepting myself, and feeling empowered and comfortable,” she explained.
And as if Billie hadn’t blessed us with enough iconic quotes already, she finished off by saying: “I should have a Ph.D. in masturbation.”
