Billie Eilish has learned a hard lesson about publicly discussing the details of her sexuality.
The Grammy and Oscar winner, who sparked controversy earlier this year for comments she made about her sex life, now says she won’t ever do it again.
“I wish no one knew anything about my sexuality or anything about my dating life. Ever, ever, ever,” she told Vogue in its November cover story, published Tuesday. “I’m never talking about my sexuality ever again. And I’m never talking about who I’m dating ever again.”
Eilish, 22, raised eyebrows with some comments about sex in a Rolling Stone story back in April, when she revealed it’s her “favorite topic.”
The “bad guy” singer told the outlet that “self-pleasure is an enormous, enormous part of my life,” and that it helps her connect with herself.
“People are so uncomfortable talking about it, and weirded out when women are very comfortable in their sexuality and communicative in it,” she said. “I think it’s such a frowned-upon thing to talk about, and I think that should change.”
Eilish also opened up about embracing her attraction to women.
Writing “Lunch,” one of the raunchy tracks off her new album, “was actually part of what helped me become who I am,” she said. “I wrote some of it before even doing anything with a girl, and then wrote the rest after.”
“I’ve been in love with girls for my whole life, but I just didn’t understand,” she revealed, “until, last year, I realized I wanted my face in a vagina.”
