Billie Eilish has always been outspoken about her struggles with body dysmorphia, and she took it to a whole new level during an interview with Rolling Stone. During the conversation, the singer revealed how masturbation has helped her cope with "extreme body issues."

“TMI, but self-pleasure is an enormous, enormous part of my life, and a huge, huge help for me,” she divulged. “People should be jerking it, man. I can’t stress it enough, as somebody with extreme body issues and dysmorphia that I’ve had my entire life.”

Specifically, the 22-year-old described how masturbating in front of a mirror has allowed her to "have such a raw, deep connection to myself and my body."

"Looking at yourself in the mirror and thinking ‘I look really good right now’ is so helpful,” Eilish continued. “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.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Eilish spoke about her upcoming third album Hit Me Hard and Soft and why she decided not to share any singles prior to its release.

Eilish's inspiration for the title came by accident. She thought it was the name of a synth in Logic Pro and realized the phrase is not only a “perfect encapsulation of what this album does" but also sums up her general outlook on life.

“It’s an impossible request: You can’t be hit hard and soft,” she said. “You can’t do anything hard and soft at the same time. I’m a pretty extremist person, and I really like when things are really intense physically, but I also love when things are very tender and sweet. I want two things at once. So I thought that was a really good way to describe me, and I love that it’s not possible.”

As for the release, Eilish explained: “Every single time an artist I love puts out a single without the context of the album, I’m just already prone to hating on it. I really don’t like when things are out of context. This album is like a family: I don’t want one little kid to be in the middle of the room alone.”

Hit Me Hard and Soft is slated for a May 17 release.
