Billie Eilish didn’t go to college, but that hasn’t stopped her from advanced pursuit of her passions. “I should have a Ph.D. in masturbation,†she told Rolling Stone for the magazine’s latest cover. Eilish espoused self-love after admitting that “sex†is one of her favorite ways to decompress. “I think it’s such a frowned-upon thing to talk about, and I think that should change,†she said. “You asked me what I do to decompress? That shit can really, really save you sometimes, just saying. Can’t recommend it more, to be real.†Eilish was promoting her new album Hit Me Hard and Soft, and there is a tie-in: The track “Lunch†is partially about her first experience with a woman and when she “realized I wanted my face in a vagina.â€

Not that you even need a partner, of course. “TMI, but self-pleasure is an enormous, enormous part of my life, and a huge, huge help for me,†Eilish continued. “People should be jerking it, man.†Like masturbation needs more good PR — but Eilish went on to specifically talk about how it gives her self-confidence and helps her body image. Later, Eilish admitted to Rolling Stone that she’s “overshared her whole life.†But come on, everybody’s doing it!
