Billie Eilish Got Super Real About Her Self-Pleasure Habits

It's called self-care.

Billie Eilish has never been one to shy away from controversial subjects, and in her new Rolling Stone cover story, the artist spoke very freely about a another seemingly taboo topic. While describing her positive relationship with sex, Eilish called self-pleasure an "enormous" part of her life.

“TMI, but self-pleasure is an enormous, enormous part of my life, and a huge, huge help for me,” she told the outlet before adding that everyone should have the same mindset about masturbation. “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.”

The star went on to then share specifics about her sexy sessions, saying she likes to use a mirror during the act. “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,” she continued. “I got to say, looking at yourself in the mirror and thinking ‘I look really good right now’ is so helpful. You can manufacture the situation you’re in to make sure you look good. You can make the light super dim, you can be in a specific outfit or in a specific position that’s more flattering. 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.”

“I should have a Ph.D. in masturbation,” she joked.

Eilish has a positive outlook on sex in general, calling it her "favorite topic" of conversation. As a woman, she said she finds it empowering to talk openly about it.

"My experience as a woman has been that it’s seen in such a weird way. People are so uncomfortable talking about it, and weirded out when women are very comfortable in their sexuality and communicative in it," she explained. "I think it’s such a frowned-upon thing to talk about, and I think that should change."

"You asked me what I do to decompress? That shit can really, really save you sometimes, just saying," she said. "Can’t recommend it more, to be real.”
