JoJo Siwa has lamented the fact that she can’t have sex like “normal” teenagers because she’s in the public eye. The former “Dance Moms” star appeared on the “We’re Having Gay Sex” and admitted that while coming out as a lesbian has been great, actually getting to explore her sexuality as a 19-year-old has been more difficult than she’d like due to her fame.
Siwa told host Ashley Gavin that she feels more mature than other people her age due to being famous from a young age and is “in a mental space of a 29-year-old” despite being a decade younger. And while she’s been open about her sexuality and her relationships and breakups with several different girlfriends, she still feels “very behind” when it comes to romantic relationships.
“I’m very behind in the world of love because most people go to a freshmen dance and they go with a date,” Siwa explained. “They go to homecoming with a different date. And then they go to prom 14 times… and they have a summer fling, and they have their hook up in the car in the school parking lot. I never had any of that. I feel like a lot of times, I’m an eighth grader in love land.”
JoJo Siwa just wants to have sex like a normal teenager
JoJo Siwa went on to say that she wants to have sex and hook up like other people her age, but that’s nearly impossible because the press wants to know every single detail of her private life.
“It’s hard for me. It’s hard for the person I’m dating or talking to, because I can’t do things. Like how most people can go on a dinner date, I can’t go on a dinner date normally,” she said.
“Any time I’m away from house, I’ve only had sex in my own room or hotel room. I don’t really know what normal teenagers do but I’m assuming it happens [in a] bathroom stall – wherever – but because of who I am, I can’t do that.”
Many people praised Siwa for being so open about her experience, with many remarking that they related to what she’s going through as a queer teen. Coming out is an experience in and of itself, and doing it in the spotlight and then trying to explore what these relationships might be like can be pretty overwhelming.
