Keke Palmer is proof that listening to your elders is never a bad idea. The āNopeā actress recently revealed that actor Whoopi Goldberg was the source of some life-changing bedroom advice for the young star, as reported by TooFab.
In the latest episode of Palmerās podcast, āBaby, This Is Keke Palmer,ā the 29-year-old shared that one piece of advice from Goldberg completed altered her relationship with her own sexuality.
According to Palmer, the 67-year-old Goldberg advised her to āstart with pleasing yourself.ā The conversation occurred during a taping of an episode of āThe View.ā
āIāll never forget, I was on āThe Viewā one time, and they were having a conversation about sex, a really great conversation, and Whoopi Goldberg said, āPlease just start with pleasing yourself.ā And I was like, āThat rings true.ā
During the episode, Palmer revealed that prior to receiving Goldbergās advice, she always prioritized her partnerās sexual satisfaction over her own.
My identity with sex, it was always based upon, āOh, I just got to do this service.āThat was, like, depressing and not enough because, well, I realized, like, āWell, wait a damn minute ā This isnāt you!ā So, it was a journey of trying to figure out what works for me.
Palmer also revealed that her earlier understanding of sex was largely influenced by āporn simulation.ā She believed that sexual encounters should mimic those seen on video, but never truly āhad a happy ending from it.ā Instead, Palmer has realized that āmore demure,ā calmer, and more āemotionalā sexual encounters satisfy her best.
In my daily life, Iām very performative. Iām giving you everything Iāve got and Iām going in and what I did learn and realize as I matured was like, thatās absolutely not the kind of sex that I want to have.
Aside from the sex talk, Palmer and Goldberg made headlines last year when Palmer joined āThe Viewā and told Goldberg she was more than eager to join the cast of āSister Act 3,ā as reported by The Shade Room.
Now Whoopi, I gotta shoot my shot, like I did with Issa a little bit ago.Ā I heard that Tyler Perry is doing āSister Act 3ā and I just want you to know that Iām available for the job. Any job. I mean, you aināt got to say nothing now, you know, Iāll send you an email or something. Just let me know if you need me.
