Kesha makes wild 'don't knock it till you try it' masturbation confession
Kesha has made a wild "don't knock it till you try it" masturbation confession.
The 39-year-old singer, who has kept her love life out of the public eye since rising to fame in 2009 with her breakout song 'Tik Tok,' opened up about her sex life during a May appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast.
At the time, Kesha told host Alex Cooper that she was "mostly celibate" and shared the unique way she had been exploring pleasure on her own.
"I’m now mostly celibate, you know, except for when you’re in Italy," Kesha said at the time.
The 'Die Young' singer then revealed what she does when she's not enjoying a romantic escape.
"I actually masturbate to gratitude meditations," she said. "Don’t knock it till you try it."
Gratitude meditation is the practice of reflecting on the things in our lives we’re grateful for and can involve guided meditation, breathwork, and visualization.
Kesha explains how she's rediscovering pleasure
The singer went on to explain how reconnecting with pleasure had become an important part of her personal journey, especially after becoming an independent artist.
"I keep coming back to pleasure... It is okay as a woman to feel pleasure in this world," she said.
"When you go through things, pleasure is not like the number one neural pathway that your brain always goes to when you have survived things, and I had to reprogram that, and I do it every f***ing day and I’m not even embarrassed about it."
For her, embracing pleasure is also part of preparing herself for a future relationship, although she has no intention of settling for just anyone.
"This is why I’m celibate because I’m calling in a f***ing king. Like, it’s time for my king," she said. "My p***y is manifesting with gratitude that my king is coming. Your body has to align with your reality before it shows up in your life."
Singer reveals why she's choosing to stay single
Elsewhere in the interview, Kesha admitted she was embracing her single status after reflecting on some of her previous relationships.
"This is why I've been mostly celibate, and I'm going to remain very single on purpose because we’ve worked on this trait of mine," Kesha said.
She told Cooper that she had dated people she "had no business dating," labeling one as "smelling kind of like a Subway sandwich that had been sitting in the back of your car for a couple of days".
Although the Grammy-nominated star described herself "secretly a hippie," she said "there's a line" she won’t cross when it comes to dating.
Kesha has previously spoken openly about her sexuality
The singer has also been open about her sexuality over the years, previously identifying as bisexual.
In a 2019 interview with Attitude magazine, she said that gender had never been a deciding factor in her attraction to someone.
"I have always been attracted to the soul behind a person’s eyes. It has never occurred to me to care about a specific gender, or how someone is identifying, to make me wonder about whether or not I’m attracted to them," she said at the time.
However, three years later, she clarified her sexuality and shared: "In case I haven’t been straightforward enough (LOL), I just wanted to take a sec to tell everyone that you are not only enough, just as you are, but the world is so f**king lucky to have you," she said.
“I’m not gay. I’m not straight. I don’t know what I am. I love people. I love people because we are all our own little consciousness journeys, dancing around the sun,” she continued.
"How weird and interesting and fun this life is, right? I refuse to be anything, really, except for open to it all? I know it can be confusing sometimes, but you are so seen and loved. Love u animals, happy pride?" she added.
