Billie Eilish gave a candid interview about her sexuality (8 photos)

In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Billie Eilish spoke bluntly about the taboos associated with female sexuality and masturbation. The conversation took place on the eve of the release of the singer’s third album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, which is scheduled for release on May 17.





In a Rolling Stone article published on April 24, Billie Eilish admitted that sex is her favorite way to relax and she likes to talk about it whenever she can. They also talked about how she was labeled and misunderstood in society, including her sexual identity.

The singer touched on the topic of social taboos on female sexuality, emphasizing that self-satisfaction plays an important role in her self-confidence. Billie spoke candidly about how she copes with body dysmorphia through self-pleasure, calling it a "huge, huge help."

She also talked about her new album "Hit Me Hard and Soft", hinting that it will touch on themes of powerful strength and tenderness.

Stressing that sex is “literally her favorite topic,” the 22-year-old singer explained: “My experience as a woman is that it feels very weird. People are so embarrassed to talk about it and it’s unusual for women to feel comfortable with their sexuality and calmly talk about it. I think it's something that's frowned upon and I think that needs to change."



Regarding masturbation: “You asked me what I do to relax? Oh, this crap can really, really help sometimes, I tell you honestly. I can't recommend it enough."

“I’m not going to lie, but self-pleasure is a huge, huge part of my life and a huge, huge help for me,” she admitted, adding: “People need to masturbate, man. I can't stress this enough as someone with extreme body image issues and body dysmorphia that I've had my whole life."





The singer admitted that masturbation excites her and allows her to establish a “raw, deep connection with herself and her body, and finally love her body.”

“I have to say, looking at yourself in the mirror and thinking, ‘I look really good right now,’ is extremely helpful,” she said. - You can create a certain environment to look good. Make the light very dim, wear a special outfit, or choose a flattering pose. I realized that looking at myself and observing how I experience pleasure is what really helps me love myself, accept myself, feel confident and comfortable. I could have a PhD in masturbation."



At Coachella this year, Billy talked about some of the upcoming songs on Hit Me Hard and Soft, including Lunch, which discussed the sexual nature of relationships.

“This song helped me become who I am, to be real,” she explained. — I wrote part of the song before I got into a relationship with my girlfriend, and wrote the rest after.

I've liked girls all my life, but I just didn't realize how much I wanted it. I never planned on talking about my sexuality, not in a million years. It really upsets me that this came out."



In November, Billie Eilish opened up about her feelings for women in Variety, saying, "I'm physically attracted to them." In December, an interviewer asked her on the red carpet: “You mentioned that for a long time you felt that women didn’t like you. And when the November article came out, all the women said: “No, we love her!” How did you feel when you were accepted?

Giggling nervously, Billie replied, "I'm still scared of them, but I think they're beautiful." The interviewer then asked, "Billy, did you want to come out?" to which she replied, "No, I didn't, but I thought, 'Isn't it obvious?' I didn’t think people didn’t know.”



“I just don’t believe it,” she added. Why can't we just live in peace? I've been doing this for a long time, I just didn't talk about it. And after the article, I - oops - came out into the world. Yes, I was nervous talking about it. I prefer girls."

The singer later lashed out at Variety on social media, accusing the publication of “flaunting her.”

“Thank you to Variety for my award and for putting me on the red carpet at 11am instead of talking about something else that matters,” she wrote. “I like boys and girls, leave me alone please, literally.”



Looking back, the Grammy Award winner told Rolling Stone, “The whole world suddenly decided who I was, and I had no say or control. No one should be pressured to be this or that, and I think there are plenty of people everywhere who want to label themselves. I know people who are unaware of their sexuality and don't feel comfortable until they are forty, fifty, sixty years old. It takes time to find yourself, and I think it’s very unfair when the internet forces you to talk about who and what you are.”



Billie explained that she knew "everyone was speculating about her sexuality, and that she liked the Variety journalist she was talking to, but felt taken advantage of. If the singer had the opportunity to do it all over again on the red carpet, she would not answer this question, Rolling Stone reports.

However, the music star admitted it could have been worse: “I'm lucky that I'm at a time where I can say something like that and it goes well for me. For many people it’s different.”
