Emily Ratajkowski has opened up about how she feels about s*x on the first date.
The model dished out her opinion about the topic during the first episode of her High Low with EmRata podcast.
Keep scrolling for the full story!
There’s no denying that Ratajkowski has a pretty impressive resume, posing for the likes of Allure, Vogue, Marie Claire, and LOVE, to name a few.
Although you may remember her from that famous music video.
Yep, she starred in the 2013 music video for Robin Thicke’s ‘Blurred Lines’. The gig bagged the model her big break and cemented her as the latest s*x symbol of the celeb-o-sphere.
And any iCarly fans out there will probably recognize her, too.
She’s even advocated for women’s health issues…
And become a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood, a platform that provides s*xual health care in the United States and globally.
Now, this is some serious nostalgia. The model has had a successful stab at acting, landing a recurring role as Gibby’s girlfriend in Nickelodeon’s iCarly.
If that doesn’t ring a bell, she was also in the 2014 movie, Gone Girl.
Remember Ben Affleck’s mistress in the thriller? Well, that was Ratajkowski too.
After taking the modeling world by storm, she has quickly gone from “that girl from the blurred lines video” to an international star.
Her gleaming portfolio includes the likes of some of the biggest publications and designers in the industry, making her one of the most-talked-about names in fashion.
In 2017, the star said she struggled to get breaking into the industry because her body didn’t fit the typical mold of a model. What?
Ratajkowski admitted that her body was deemed too “sexy” to work with.
And it all comes down to the size of her b**bs…
“There’s this thing that happens to me: ‘Oh, she’s too sexy.’ It’s like an anti-woman thing, people don’t want to work with me because my b**bs are too big,” she said.
Between runway shows and glossy print gigs, the star regularly posts snaps of herself Instagram, and you have to admit that, objectively, she does look gorgeous.
Since breaking out into the industry, the star has been using her platform to speak out about the unprecedented policing of women’s bodies.
Considering the fact that she’s a model, she often poses for revealing shots, which people tend to slam her for because you apparently can’t show a bit of skin and be a feminist at the same time.
But the model believes otherwise – that no one should be able to dictate what a woman wears.
The star isn’t afraid to shy away from controversy… And politics is no exception.
For example, she was among the three-hundred people who took to the streets to protest the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh…
A man who was accused of s*xually assaulting university professor, Christine Blasey, in 1982.
“I demand a government that acknowledges, respects and supports women as much as it does men,” the model wrote on her Instagram…
And after the Harvey Weinstein scandal broke, the model took to Twitter to express how “tired” she is of having to worry about what men will think if she wears a short skirt.
Adding: “I want to do what I want to do. Feminism isn’t about adjusting, it’s about freedom and choice.”
The star has also been very vocal that she believes in the right to choose.
So much so, that earlier this year, she posed nude as a stand against the controversial Alabama abortion law.
She continually stresses that she can wear as many, or as little, clothes as she wants and still be a feminist.
But that’s not the only controversy she’s been embroiled in…
Ratajkowski posted her support for Amber Heard on TikTok…
In the video, she claims “it’s 2022 and it’s getting even SCARIER to be a woman,” discussing the public backlash Heard faced compared to the support Johnny Depp received.
Sharing her opinion on why things are looking bleak for women, she referenced…
“roe v wade getting overturned,” “Harvey [Weinstein] getting an appeal,” “Shia [LaBeouf]’s redemption tour,” and “the way y’all dragged amber and the precedent that court case set.”
But what makes her post sadly ironic is that she is rumored to be dating Brad Pitt, with OK! Magazine saying “it’s still very early.”
And as we know, according to newly released public FBI records, Pitt’s ex Angelina Jolie alleged he abused her and their children.
This obviously goes against everything Ratajkowski stands for, but it is only early days.
You can see her TikTok post here.
Ratajkowski gave a sneak peek behind her split from her now ex-husband, Sebastian Bear-McClard.
According to PEOPLE, the decision came from Ratajkowski.
While the pair avoided making any statement of their separation…
A source told Page Six that the break-up was due to Bear-McClard cheating on Ratajkowski, which led to their relationship falling apart.
“Yeah, he cheated,” the source said.
“He’s a serial cheater. It’s gross. He’s a dog,” the source explained to the media outlet.
However, Ratajkowski doesn’t seem to be bothered anymore…
And has continued her life as normal.
At the beginning of September, Ratajkowski moved out of the shared home to an apartment where she could start a new chapter in her life.
“She got an apartment downtown to get away from her ex and start her new life,” a source revealed to Us Weekly.
“They’re only speaking to each other through the nanny,” they said.
And it doesn’t seem like the model is done with dating.
Though she remained quiet about her relationship with Bear-McClard, Ratajkowski has opened up about the future of her love life in a social media post…
In a TikTok video, she revealed to her fans that was thinking of “Dating and stuff.”
Ratajkowski also hinted about her current relationship status in other videos on her TikTok account.
Back in August, she uploaded a video with the caption, “The only man I want in my bed is this 90lb boy,” before panning to her dog.
Ratajkowski also finally opened up about her current relationship status.
This comes after rumors circled the internet about Ratajkowski’s next potential partner.
Many believed that the mystery partner to be none other than Brad Pitt.
Since the start of September, Ratajkowski has been linked with Pitt, E! News reported.
“Emily is putting herself out there and enjoys company. Her and Brad met through mutual friends in the industry,” a source revealed.
“It was casual and friendly.”
Ratajkowski took part in an interview where she set the record straight once and for all and shut down the rumors.
She told Variety that she’s enjoying her “freedom” as a single woman.
“I’m newly single for basically the first time in my life ever, and I just feel like I’m kind of enjoying the freedom of not being super worried about how I am being perceived,” she said.
While the actress avoided mentioning Pitt’s name, it seems as though she’s still living her best single life.
Since then, Ratajkowski spoke out about how she felt after the divorce took place.
“I feel all the emotions,” she told Harper’s Bazaar.
“I feel anger, sadness. I feel excitement. I feel joy. I feel levity. Every day is different.
“The only good thing I know is that I’m feeling all those things, which is nice because it makes me believe that I’ll be OK,” she continued.
We’re glad to see Ratajkowski feeling joy again!
As an added bonus; it seems as though the model has gone back into dating after months of living as a single woman.
The model was spotted making out with DJ Orazio Rispo and revealed that she’s recently “gone on dates,” but not on any dating apps.
“Give me time,” Ratajkowski said after admitting she wasn’t good at deciding what qualities she liked in a partner.
“It was hard for me to go on a date with someone and think about how much I did or didn’t like them.
“I would have been thinking about how they were perceiving me, what it meant, what they wanted from me, what it meant about my self-worth.
“Now it’s really fun to go to dinner with someone and be like, ‘Cool. I really enjoyed these parts of them. I really didn’t like these other parts,'” Ratajkowski said.
And Ratajkowski has continued to be pretty open about her personal life…
She recently spoke to Harper’s Bazaar and revealed some pretty interesting details about her own sexuality…
This comes after Ratajkowski posted a TikTok last month to participate in the viral “green couch” trend.
In the video, she responded to another user who asked: “If you identify as bisexual, do you own a green velvet couch?”
“My girlfriend came over and was like, ‘B*tch, have you seen the green-couch thing?’ She was laughing at me because my green couch is so big,” she told the media outlet.
Ratajkowski then admitted that she wants to have fun presenting herself to the world.
“I want to be able to have fun with how I present myself in the world without feeling like I’m a bad feminist or a good feminist. Duh, I don’t want to be a part of your club if you don’t want to have me. It’s fine!” she said.
The model added that she thinks everyone is likely sexually fluid.
“I don’t really believe in straight people,” she said.
Ratajkowski also dished some details about her take on s*x during a first date.
During the first episode of her High Low with EmRata podcast, Ratajkowski revealed she’s been thinking about the dynamics of s*x on the first date.
And she related it to the subject of gender dynamics.
Ratajkowski’s first episode seemed well-received by fans, who described it as “so good.”
While another praised her for “talking about being single” and her sense of humor.
“I’ve been thinking about this a lot because it speaks so much to power dynamics and s*x on the first date is the ultimate example of that because you’re dealing with gender dynamics in such a specific little vacuum of a moment,” she told her best friend Barbara.
Ratajkowski continued: “‘I think if you’re not ready to be vulnerable, that is a reason not to have s*x on the first date.”
But still, after a fun night when she doesn’t “care” if she ever sees her date again, the model-turned-actress said she hates when a suitor has an “I hit that” vibe.
And then she said this was the sole reason for someone to not sleep with a man.
“Even if they’re not the kind of guy who would say that out loud but you can just feel it. That’s a reason not to sleep with a man,” Ratajkowski told listeners.
The star then revealed she wants more than just s*x.
“I go on these dates and it’s not like I’m going to sleep with someone and then I’m more vulnerable to fall in love, but I feel more.
“If I don’t sleep with them, I think about them less. I can forget them in three days,” she explained.
“I think the conclusion we’ve come to is that you should do whatever the hell you want to do. But knowing what it is that you want to do is really hard. That’s the hard work,” she added.
Ratajkowski even revealed on a recent date she made the first move when she felt she wanted to be kissed.
“I kind of grabbed him and kissed him,” she recalled, before stating her date responded: “This is the kind of feminism I can get down with.”
And while Ratajkowski did not reveal his name, she has been romantically linked to DJ Orazio Rispo and Brad Pitt.
