In a tell-all interview with Rolling Stone, published in April, the 22-year-old seemingly confirmed that she would be open to a same-sex relationship in true Billie fashion, by stating she’d be happy to have her “face in a vagina.”
While talking about her upcoming era, which promises to prioritize her mental health, privacy, and well-being – all while promoting her third studio album titled ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft’ – the ‘Lovely’ singer delved into aspects of her sexuality in regards to the song ‘Lunch’.
The explicit song contains sexually provocative lines such as: “I could eat that girl for lunch / And she dances on my tongue / Tastes like she might be the one / And I can never get enough.”

Eilish also confessed to Rolling Stone that self-love, as she calls it, is a significant part of her life. Despite deeming it “TMI,” she emphasized its role in combating her struggles with body image.
Sharing a preference that raised eyebrows, Eilish revealed her penchant for engaging in this intimate act in front of a mirror.
As for why, well, the singer explained: “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.

“I got to say, looking at yourself in the mirror and thinking ‘I look really good right now’ is so helpful…
“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.”

The reaction to Eilish’s transparency was swift. Admirers lauded her for her authenticity, dubbing her “so real” for the candid admission. Yet, not everyone was on board, with some deeming it oversharing.
However, Eilish stands by her openness, advocating for destigmatizing conversations around sex and self-empowerment. For her, discussing such topics is not just liberating – it’s essential.

As she boldly declared: “My experience as a woman has been… 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.
“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 s**t can really, really save you sometimes, just saying. Can’t recommend it more, to be real.”
