  • It's no secret that most women have never experienced an orgasm in their life.
  • Rachel Bilson opened up about only experiencing it at the age of 38.
  • Now, she says she wasn't taking a dig at her exes when she said it.


Rachel Bilson opened up about her sex life in a candid conversation with comedian Whitney Cummings on the 'Broad Ideas' podcast last week and admitted she had struggled to achieve climax until later in life. But she's now clarified her comments and insisted she wasn't trying to "shade" any of her former partners.

Speaking on 'The Viall Files' podcast, she explained, "It has nothing to do with any partner. It had to do with me knowing my body."

Rachel went on to admit she made the confession after Whitney revealed she didn't have an orgasm through penetrative sex until going off birth control at the age of 40 - and Rachel said she experienced something similar.

"I just jumped on that, and I was like, 'When I was older, I was able to do that too'... Apparently, there were names brought up in both regards, and I am not okay with that because it had nothing to do with that," Rachel said.

Podcast host Nick Viall then added, "We're not shaming any exes," and Rachel agreed, saying, "No! Or giving a trophy to any other exes. Nobody was involved other than myself. It was all about me. I can now do it, I'm sure... It's all about knowing my own body... It's positioning; it's comfortability. It's knowing your body."

Rachel has previously dated stars including Adam Brody and Bill Hader and has a seven-year-old daughter, Briar Rose, with 'Star Wars' actor Hayden Christensen.
