Recently Billie Eilish came out about her problematic and traumatic history with adult content. Join me in this first look and complicated topic as we talk about why Billie's trauma is valid, but her call to action is misguided.

Why Billie Eilish is WRONG about Sex

This week on ‘The Howard Stern Show,’ Billie Eilish opened up about her early experiences consuming porn. The 19-year-old reveals that she began watching content when she was 11 years old and that it ‘destroyed’ her brain and it ruined her expectation of relationships, but in today's video we talk about why this argument was so flawed. -OUR SOCIAL MEDIA - SAFEWORD MERCH: www.safewordshop.com Watts Your Safeword Podcast: Itunes: http://apple.co/2QkMDwk Spotify: http://spoti.fi/2QjPNjL Twitters: http://twitter.com/WattsTheSafewrd http://twitter.com/PupAmp http://twitter.com/kristoferweston Instagrams: https://instagram.com/PupAmp/ https://instagram.com/mrkristoferweston/ https://instagram.com/wattsthesafeword Facebook: http://ow.ly/Z5nvM Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/WattsTheSafeword Opening by the magical Aethernaut https://aethernaut.bandcamp.com/ Music by Joakim Karud http://youtube.com/joakimkarud

Having harmful expectations around what sex looks like does not come from porn. I had really awful expectations about what sex was and what was expected of me as a cis woman when I first became sexually active and I had never watched any porn or read anything pornographic of any kind (yes, I know, I put a lot of work into being that sheltered). The answer here is to have sex education and a society that takes consent seriously and has adult conversations about sex.

Oh my, I really feel for Billie and I really hope, she sees your video. Because it is so important to distinguish between what is shown in pornography and your own sex life. But still, it is very hard to learn about your own sexuality and body positivity, if no one tells you it's okay to do your own thing. I was lucky enough to have great talks with my parents and because I love reading, they bought me beautiful books on this topic. But sex education at school? I find it very much lacking. So I guess it still is a problem here in Germany, too. And I find it very confusing to expect something that shows different fantasies to be proper sex education, while people don't want to do the talking and then come back to complain about how pornography isn't proper sex education and say that it ruins peoples view on sexuality? So yeah, as always you did a wonderful and so so so much needed job here. I really appreciate your work. But it's also about body images, which I assume, aren't set by porn but by the media as a whole? (Please correct me, if I'm wrong about it =)) What hurt me as a teenager and as a young adult wasn't porn, it was media as a whole. How you had to be perfect to be loveable and desireable. Oh, just one thing. I guess Billie was talking about vulvas? While I think it is true that general porn tends to show a certain type of genitalia, I feel like, it's more about what's trendy? And I have certainly seen my fair share of diverse vulvas in pornography. Why else would they call the look women want to achieve via labioplasty as the Barbie-Look? Anyway, just thank you from the bottom of my heart for your wonderful work.
