Billie Eilish is a breath of fresh air in many aspects of life.
Whether she’s being open and honest about being queer, hitting out at body-shaming trolls online or normalising living with Tourettes, she always seems to be doing something that makes us want to applause.
The 22-year-old Oscar-winning singer recently made headlines for her steamy new song 'Lunch' which she performed at Coachella.
Billie is quickly becoming the voice we all need when it comes to being open and honest about pleasure.

Her latest revelation, surrounding the art of masturbation, only supports this.
Billie opened up in a recent interview with Rolling Stone about self-pleasure.
She said that self-pleasure is an 'enormous' part of her life, adding that it’s a ‘huge, huge help' to her as someone with 'extreme body issues and dysmorphia'.
Billie also went one step further when discussing this, and shared where she likes to do it - and why.
Turns out, Billie likes to explore self-pleasure in front of a mirror.
She explained: “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.
"I got to say, looking at yourself in the mirror and thinking ‘I look really good right now’ is so helpful.
“You can manufacture the situation you’re in to make sure you look good. You can make the light super dim, you can be in a specific outfit or in a specific position that’s more flattering.
"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 added: “I should have a PhD in masturbation.”
This frank admission has led to an outpouring of appreciation and support from fans on social media.
One person wrote: “I mean, curiosity leads you to amazing discoveries about ourselves.
"Sexual empowerment is exactly what women need to survive the world of men.”
Another added: “I actually really respect her for saying this and I'm happy she feels good about her body and sexuality (AS SHE SHOULD!!!!)”
A third person said: “She's so real for this share actually."
