Billie Eilish revealed that she started watching pornography as an 11-year-old and said that it “destroyed” her mind about what sex is supposed to be.
The alternative rock music star made the comments in an interview with Howard Stern.
“As a woman, I think porn is a disgrace, and I used to watch a lot of porn, to be honest,” Eilish said.
“I started watching porn when I was like eleven,” she added. “I didn’t understand why it was a bad thing, I thought that’s how you learned how to have sex.”
Eilish explained that pornography misrepresented what sex is like and it led to her having unhealthy sexual behavior.
“I think it really destroyed my brain and I feel incredibly devastated that I was exposed to so much porn, I think that I had sleep paralysis, and these almost like night terrors, just nightmares, I think that’s how they started, because I would just watch abusive [pornography] and that’s what I thought was attractive, and it got to a point where I couldn’t watch anything unless it was violent, and I didn’t think it was attractive,” said Eilish.
“And I was a virgin, I hadn’t done anything!” she added.
“The first few times I, you know, had sex, I was not saying no to things that were not good. And it was because I thought that’s what I was supposed to be attracted to,” Eilish said. “I’m so angry that porn is so loved, and I’m so angry at myself for thinking that it was okay.”
Eilish went on to explain that even the anatomy portrayed in pornography was misleading.
“Women’s bodies don’t look like that,” she said. “We don’t enjoy things that it looks like we’re enjoying.”
She also revealed in the interview that she had contracted the coronavirus but that she believes being vaccinated kept her from experiencing the worst symptoms of the virus.
