\n\tLily Allen<\/a> wasn\u2019t always comfortable asking for what she wanted in bed. In a new interview with The Times<\/em><\/a>, the singer said she focused on keeping her partner happy rather than considering her own needs.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMy priority has been to make sure I don\u2019t get rejected or abandoned,\u201d she said. \u201cTherefore, I\u2019m prioritizing my partner\u2019s enjoyment because the first thing I\u2019m protecting is my safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAllen\u2019s comments come as she launches a new collection with Lovehoney<\/a>, which includes a cute peach-shaped clitoral stimulator<\/a>, a heart-shaped dual clitoral and licking stimulator<\/a>, and of course, her take on the famous Womanizer toy<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\t\tWhy Allen Put Her Partners\u2019 Pleasure First\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\u201cI grew up feeling that I was a vehicle for male pleasure,\u201d Allen told The Times<\/em>. \u201cI never really considered my own needs.\u201d For her, keeping a partner satisfied was tied to wanting to feel secure in the relationship, not necessarily enjoying herself.<\/p>\n

\n\tAllen also talked about how easily women can put their own desires last. \u201cWe don\u2019t always prioritize our own desires because we focus on pleasing others, doing our jobs properly and looking after our friends and family,\u201d she said in a press release shared with SheKnows<\/em>. \u201cWe can forget that listening to what our body needs is just as important.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSpeaking up wasn\u2019t always easy for her, either. \u201cI think women in particular can find it difficult to ask for what they want. When I was younger, I know I did,\u201d she said. It\u2019s something she wants to make less awkward to discuss, especially when the conversation is about self-pleasure<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tLearning What She Likes Has Helped Her Ask for It\t<\/h2>\n

\n\tAllen said learning what she likes has made it easier to tell a partner what she wants.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFor me, toys<\/a> can help you to better understand your body and learn what you like,\u201d she said in the Lovehoney press release. \u201cI\u2019ve been able to use that knowledge to express what I want in my relationships, which is empowering. And I hope this collection helps others feel similarly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAllen told The Times that introducing toys with partners hadn\u2019t always gone over well. But she\u2019s no longer willing to give up something she enjoys to keep someone else comfortable.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI haven\u2019t stuck around with [them] because I find [toys] really helpful, really fun,\u201d she said. \u201cIt makes the whole thing a lot more enjoyable for me. If it makes it less enjoyable for him, he can move on.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAllen first collaborated with Lovehoney in 2020. In the press release, she said people still tell her what a difference it made \u2014 and they\u2019re not talking about her music.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cInstinctively, I think they\u2019re going to be talking about my music, but they\u2019re actually talking about the toys,\u201d she said. \u201cThankfully, people seem a little more comfortable now, but we still need to nudge that conversation along some more \u2014 it can only ever be a good thing not to feel shame about our own bodies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFor Allen, her own pleasure deserves time, too. \u201cIt\u2019s not a selfish thing to do. It\u2019s self-care \u2014 there\u2019s no shame in it,\u201d she said. \u201cWhy should we deny ourselves enjoyment and the confidence that can come from that?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
