Billie Eilish has candidly shared an activity she enjoys doing in front of a mirror.
The artist cautioned that her revelation might be ‘TMI’ for some but expressed no regrets about discussing her method for unwinding.
Eilish aimed to challenge societal norms around body image by openly discussing her personal desires.
In a Rolling Stone interview, she delved into the significance of self-love, emphasizing its importance to her.
Eilish was open about her sexuality, mentioning she would not mind having her ‘face in a vagina’ and highlighted the value of ‘self pleasure’ in her life.
For the Grammy-winning singer, these acts are more than just relaxation techniques; they are essential for fostering a healthy self-relationship and body positivity.
Billie Eilish shared that her method of unwinding sometimes involves engaging in ‘self love’ while looking at herself in a mirror.
For Eilish, this practice serves more than just a means to relax; it’s also about feeling empowered and appreciating her own body, beyond just finding it ‘hot’.
She explained the significance of this practice, stating, “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.”
Eilish continued, “I got to say, looking at yourself in the mirror and thinking ‘I look really good right now’ is so helpful…”
She concluded, “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.”
Eilish discussed the negative ways female desire and sexuality are often perceived in society, touching on the themes of demonization, shaming, fetishization, and pathologization.
She shared her personal experiences, noting how her comfort and openness about her sexuality often make others uneasy.
“My experience as a woman has been… It’s seen in such a weird way,” she explained. “People are so uncomfortable talking about it, and weirded out when women are very comfortable in their sexuality and communicative in it.”
Eilish emphasized the need for change, stating, “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 sh*t can really, really save you sometimes, just saying. Can’t recommend it more, to be real.”
