Rachel Bilsoncontinues to share her frank thoughts on sex — even when she worries it’ll make look like an “a–hole.”
The O.C.alum, 41, revealed Monday that she has “never” faked an orgasm — but as a self-described “people-pleaser,” she wonders if that reflects on her negatively.
“I’m like, ‘Am I an a–hole?’” she asked on the latest episode of her podcastBroad Ideaspodcast. “I start to go into that people-pleasing thing. Like, am I just a d— because I never gave [my partners] that? It goes against my whole nature of being, like, a people-pleaser and putting the dude first.”

Bilson also re-addressed the fact thatit took a “very long time” for her to have an orgasm from penetrative sex. “And then it finally happened,” she said, “and it was like,OK, the floodgates have opened.”
“People put that kind of orgasm on a pedestal because it’s so much harder to achieve,” she continued. “Mostlyit was about me and my bodyand being comfortable and figuring out position. … It’s [about] learning your body.”
The formerHart of Dixiestar made headlines in March when she revealed toWhitney Cummingson the podcast that she didn’thave her first orgasmuntil she was “about 38” years old. “Isn’t that crazy?” she reflected.

“A job got taken away from me because I was speaking candidly and openly about sex in a humorous way,” she said onBroad Ideas. “A single mom, a woman, lost a job because they were being candid and honest and the subject was sex.”
Bilson, who shares a daughter with Christensen, has always spoken candidly about her sexual experiences and preferences.
“The things that my friends and I talk about shouldn’t be taboo, you know?” she stated on Yahoo! Life’sThe Unwind. “It should feel like a safe space to be open, because so many people go through similar things. And what’s better than to have a support system, or feel like you’re being heard and having a space to do so?”
