Gracie Abrams Says “Porn Is Bullsh*t” While Dropping Some Real Talk on Sex
Gracie Abrams just got way more candid than ever, and honestly? We’re here for it. The singer—who’s rumored to be dating Paul Mescal (yes, Normal People Paul!)—gave fans a rare glimpse into her love life during a tell-all chat with Cosmopolitan on Feb. 5. And let’s just say, she did not hold back. From the biggest lesson she’s learned about intimacy to her thoughts on the dark side of porn, Gracie got real about it all.
Sex Advice? Gracie’s Got You
When asked if she had any bedroom tips, Abrams didn’t sugarcoat her response. “I’ve only more recently become proud of my sex life,” she admitted, revealing that the best sex she’s ever had came from not putting on a show. “The best I’ve ever felt during sex is when I have been performing the least in the moment,” she shared.
According to Gracie, the key to great intimacy is being with someone who truly sees you for who you are. “I think that comes from being in relationships with people who see me for who I am and who respect, love, and cherish me. People who actually want to learn about me and my body. But this is newer for me, too.” Translation: A solid connection >>> performative nonsense.
Why She Thinks Porn Is Not It
Abrams also got into why she thinks porn is messing up how young people see sex—and she didn’t mince words. “Porn is bullsh*t,” she said. “It is dangerous, not real, and a performance. It’s really dangerous for young people for that to be their introduction to sex.”
She went on to explain that growing up, sex advice felt overwhelming and often unrealistic. “I remember reading Cosmo and it being like ‘six tips to give the most rocking blow job ever,’ and you’re like, ‘Holy f*ck.’” (No, literally.)
The Internet ≠ A Sex Ed Teacher
Abrams warned that too many young people end up learning about sex in all the wrong ways—which she knows from experience. “I had a lot of questions… I took to the internet for answers, which is frightening to think about now,” she admitted. And honestly? Same.
Instead of letting teens navigate the wild west of the internet for sex education, Gracie thinks they should have reliable sources—whether that’s Cosmo or actual, qualified mentors. “Young people need to learn about sex from a reputable resource like Cosmo or a strong mentor, not just scrolling aimlessly online like I did.”
TL;DR? Good sex is about real connection, porn is not the best teacher, and if you’re Googling ‘how to have good sex,’ maybe start with something that actually cares about your well-being. Gracie understood the assignment, and honestly, we should all be taking notes.
