Keke Palmer is proof that listening to your elders is never a bad idea. The âNopeâ 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 Palmerâs podcast, âBaby, This Is Keke Palmer,â 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 âstart with pleasing yourself.â The conversation occurred during a taping of an episode of âThe View.â
âIâll never forget, I was on âThe Viewâ one time, and they were having a conversation about sex, a really great conversation, and Whoopi Goldberg said, âPlease just start with pleasing yourself.â And I was like, âThat rings true.â
During the episode, Palmer revealed that prior to receiving Goldbergâs advice, she always prioritized her partnerâs sexual satisfaction over her own.
My identity with sex, it was always based upon, âOh, I just got to do this service.âThat was, like, depressing and not enough because, well, I realized, like, âWell, wait a damn minute â This isnât you!â 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 âporn simulation.â She believed that sexual encounters should mimic those seen on video, but never truly âhad a happy ending from it.â Instead, Palmer has realized that âmore demure,â calmer, and more âemotionalâ sexual encounters satisfy her best.
In my daily life, Iâm very performative. Iâm giving you everything Iâve got and Iâm going in and what I did learn and realize as I matured was like, thatâs 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 âThe Viewâ and told Goldberg she was more than eager to join the cast of âSister Act 3,â as reported by The Shade Room.
Now Whoopi, I gotta shoot my shot, like I did with Issa a little bit ago. I heard that Tyler Perry is doing âSister Act 3â and I just want you to know that Iâm available for the job. Any job. I mean, you ainât got to say nothing now, you know, Iâll send you an email or something. Just let me know if you need me.
