"I basically talk about sex any time I possibly can. That's literally my favorite topic. My experience as a woman has been that it's seen in such a weird way. People are so uncomfortable talking about it... That s**t can really, really save you sometimes, just saying. Can't recommend it more, to be real," she explained.
The 22-year-old also said that, like sex, the word "masturbation" is taboo for women as well. She then revealed that self-pleasure has given her more confidence.
"TMI, but self-pleasure is an enormous, enormous part of my life and a huge, huge help for me. 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," she said.
Eilish got even more candid about masturbation and shared that she likes to do it in front of a mirror "partly because it's hot."
"But it also makes me have such a raw, deep connection to myself and my body and have a love for my body that I have not really ever had," she elaborated.
"I got to say, looking at yourself in the mirror and thinking 'I look really good right now' is so helpful... 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," she said before noting, "I should have a Ph.D. in masturbation."
In the same interview, the singer shared that her upcoming record will show her "return to the darker sounds and styles."
"This whole process has felt like I'm coming back to the girl that I was. I've been grieving her. I've been looking for her in everything, and it's almost like she got drowned by the world and the media. I don't remember when she went away," she said.
"I feel like this album is me. It's not a character. It feels like the 'When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?' version of me. It feels like my youth and who I was as a kid."
"Hit Me Hard and Soft" is scheduled to drop on May 17.
