Rachel Bilson on Thursday added new details about her recent claim that she didn’t have an orgasm until the age of 38 while appearing on The Nick Viall Files podcast.

The Los Angeles-born actress followed up on remarks she made on her Broad Ideas podcast earlier this month while discussing intimacy with comedian Whitney Cummings.
In the performance, Bilson, who previously dated comedian Bill Hader, revealed that she didn’t have an orgasm during intercourse until she was 38, adding, “Isn’t that crazy?”

She told guest Mandy Moore: “I couldn’t leave my house, you know what I mean? I had nothing to do but sit in it, deal with it and feel it. “It was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done, harder than giving birth. It hurt like hell!’
