Gen Z superstar Billie Eilish held nothing back while frankly discussing her sexuality, attraction to women and masturbation in new interview with Rolling Stone.
When asked how she likes to decompress, the 22-year-old singer, who has previously dated The Neighbourhood’s Jesse Rutherford and rapper Brandon Quention Adams, revealed she unwinds with sex and self-pleasure.
‘Sex,’ she told the publication. ‘I basically talk about sex any time I possibly can. That’s literally my favorite topic. 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.’
The Bad Guy hitmaker continued: ‘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. Can’t recommend it more, to be real.’

Eilish also raved about how masturbating in front of a mirror has helped her form a ‘raw, deep connection’ to herself and body that she’s never had in the past.
‘I got to say, looking at yourself in the mirror and thinking ‘I look really good right now’ is so helpful,’ she explained. ‘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.’
The Oscar winner noted that she’s learned that looking at herself and watching herself ‘feel pleasure has been an extreme help in loving’ and accepting herself as well as ‘feeling empowered and comfortable.’
‘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 told readers. ‘I should have a Ph.D. in masturbation.’
While discussing her sexuality and feeling forced to come out as queer during a red carpet interview last year, the performer revealed she’s ‘been in love with girls’ her ‘whole life.’
‘I just didn’t understand — until, last year, I realized I wanted my face in a vagina. I was never planning on talking about my sexuality ever, in a million years. It’s really frustrating to me that it came up,’ she admitted.
While speaking about her upcoming track, Lunch, inspired by her queer identity, Eilish explained that she ‘wrote some of it before even doing anything with a girl’ and ‘the rest after.’
The chorus of the raunchy track goes: ‘I could eat that girl for lunch / Yeah, she dances on my tongue / Tastes like she might be the one / And I can never get enough / I could buy you so much stuff / It’s a craving, not a crush.’

In December, the musician said that she thought her queer identity was ‘obvious’ during Variety’s Hitmakers event.
‘I kind of thought, wasn’t it obvious? I didn’t realize people didn’t know,’ she said, at the time. ‘I just don’t really believe in it. I’m just like, why can’t we just exist? I’ve been doing this for a long time, and I just didn’t talk about it.’
When asked about how she felt regarding the opinions of other women, she stated: ‘I’m still scared of them, but I think they’re pretty!’
During her older interview with Variety, Eilish spoke about having a longstanding issue where she was not able to connect with other women.
‘I got to say, looking at yourself in the mirror and thinking ‘I look really good right now’ is so helpful,’ she explained. ‘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’ve never really felt like I could relate to girls very well. I love them so much. I love them as people. I’m attracted to them as people. I’m attracted to them for real,’ she said.
The What Was I Made For singer elaborated on her earlier statement and expressed: ‘I have deep connections with women in my life, the friends in my life, the family in my life. I’m physically attracted to them.
However, she added: I’m also so intimidated by them and their beauty and their presence.’

Eilish has been romantically connected to several individuals over the years, including rapper Brandon Adams, who performs under the name 7:AMP.
The pair’s relationship was covered in the documentary Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry, which was released on Apple TV+ in February of 2021.
The performer also spoke about the end of her romance with the rapper during the documentary, in which she revealed that she ‘just wasn’t happy’ during their time together.
‘I kind of thought, wasn’t it obvious? I didn’t realize people didn’t know,’ she said, at the time. ‘I just don’t really believe in it. I’m just like, why can’t we just exist? I’ve been doing this for a long time, and I just didn’t talk about it’
When asked about how she felt regarding the opinions of other women, she stated: ‘I’m still scared of them, but I think they’re pretty!’
She stated via People: ‘I didn’t want the same things he wanted and I don’t think that’s fair for him. I don’t think you should be in a relationship super excited about things that the other person couldn’t care less about.’
Eilish went on to begin a relationship with Rutherford, best known for his work as the singer of The Neighbourhood.
The pair, who were separated by an 11-year age difference, began seeing each other in October of last year, and they split up in May.
In October, she set the record straight that she was single after rumors emerged that she was dating celebrity tattoo artist David Enth.
‘Literally couldn’t be more single right now,’ she declared after reading a report that alleged she and Enth had been ‘on quite a few dates’ and ‘really hit it off.’
