Rachel Bilson says she didn’t have an orgasm from sex until she was 38

Rachel Bilson has revealed she didn’t have an orgasm from intercourse until her late 30s.

The 41-year-old actor had a candid conversation about sex and intimacy with comedian Whitney Cummings on Monday’s episode of her podcast. Big Ideas with Rachel Bilson. During the conversation, Cummings explained that she didn’t have an orgasm during sex until she hit her 40s, when she stopped birth control.

“I’m going to say this, wild thing to say: I didn’t have an orgasm from sex until I went off birth control,” she explained. “I never had it in my life until I turned 40.”

In response, Bilson admitted they’re in the same boat, revealing that she didn’t have an orgasm during sex either until she was almost 40.

“I was just like you” That’s OK said Stern. “It didn’t happen to me until I was about 38. Is not that crazy?”

When the comedian commented that she could have an orgasm with her “hands,” Bilson agreed, adding, “Of course, yes. But not from inside.”

This isn’t the first time Bilson has shared her open mind about sex. During an episode of Yahoo LifeRelaxation Series in July 2022, she revealed how her childhood shaped her perspective on sex and why she doesn’t see it as something taboo to talk about.

“Growing up in a household that was so sex-positive, free, and open… definitely made me want to be more open about things,” she said. “It’s like, ‘Oh yeah, I pushed the baby out of my vagina.’ Those are the things that women go through, and there’s nothing associated with it that feels like, ‘Oh, I shouldn’t be talking about it.'”

The actress has also poked fun at her sex life with her exes, including Bill Hader, who she split from in June 2020. While hosting an episode of her podcast in August 2022, she was asked what she misses most about her ex. In response, she said, “His big d***.”

A month after she made the joke, she also opened up about how difficult her split from Hader was. During an episode of Alex Cooper in September 2022 Call her daddy Podcast, Bilson was asked how she previously said their breakup was “tougher than giving birth.” The actor went on to clarify that comment and why the split was difficult because it happened during the pandemic.

“I had to deal with that. I had to deal with being alone and taking care of my kid and everything else,” she said. “Being isolated and not being able to connect with people, not being able to help myself.”

The Hard by Dixie star, who confirmed her relationship with Hader in January 2020, also revealed the split happened over the phone in June this year as they wanted to protect their families. Hader is the father of three children, Hannah, 12, Harper, 10, and Hayley, seven, who he shares with ex-wife Maggie Carey. Bilson shares eight-year-old son Briar with ex-fiancé Hayden Christensen, with whom she dated from 2007 to 2017.

Along with Christensen and Hader, Bilson previously dated her The OK co-star Adam Brody from 2003 to 2006. Though she didn’t reveal who it was with, she said during her September Call her daddy Episode that she was in a relationship.
