Billie Eilish says watching porn from a young age destroyed her brain.
On Monday, Billie Ellish was a guest on The Howard Stern Show on Sirius XM radio and spoke about how watching porn from the age of 11 gave her nightmares and messed her up when she started dating.
Billie is certainly not alone, saying she endured nightmares because some of the content she watched was so violent and abusive.
“I think porn is a disgrace. I used to watch a lot of porn, to be honest. I started watching porn when I was, like, 11,” Billie told the radio host.
The pop sensation who turns 20 this weekend said watching porn helped her feel like “one of the guys”.
“I think it really destroyed my brain and I feel incredibly devastated that I was exposed to so much porn,”
This isn’t the first time Billie has mentioned her toxic relationship with pornography. The Bad Guy singer is known for her introspective and dark lyrics and in her song Male Fantasy from her newest album Happier Than Ever, she sings about distracting herself with porn while dealing with a breakup.
Porn can be a delightful way to spice things up in your solo or partnered playtime but to have access to free streaming services like PornHub from the very beginning of your sexual journey is almost sure to fuck some things up.
“I’m so angry that porn is so loved… it’s how so many people think they’re supposed to learn.”
“The first few times I, you know, had sex, I was not saying no to things that were not good. It was because I thought that’s what I was supposed to be attracted to,” she said.
if your response to what Billie Eilish said about her experiences with porn is "well why were you watching porn if you were under 18" then you are literally victim-blaming. children are being groomed by porn and then being asked to take responsibility for it, and its disgusting.

Billie Eilish has had to deal with a good few of her teen years in the public eye. To stop people from commenting on her body and in a matter of protest against the male gaze, she has mostly been seen sporting baggy clothing. Billie has left little room for the public to think about much other than her ground-breaking sound and award-winning hits.
Billie became the youngest person to win all four of the top Grammy awards in the same year but fame has not been all it’s cracked up to be.
The outspoken and intelligent young artist said fame made it hard to date.
“It’s really hard to meet people when, you know, people are either terrified of you or think you’re out of their league,” Eilish told Stern.
That said, chances are there really couldn’t be too many people out there who are good enough for this outrageous talent. But it’s sweet for her to be so humble.
