USA – .Kanye West‘s ex Julia Fox said she doesn’t like sex and is ‘desensitized’ to it because of her past career as a dominatrix – and revealed she’d rather take the plant-based psychedelic ‘ayahuasca and see God’ than be intimate.
Fox, now 32, previously revealed that she started working in a ‘basement dungeon’ at age 18, where she would be paid to fulfill men’s fantasies.
And now, she has opened up about how the ‘humiliating’ job forced her to ‘disassociate’ as a ‘survival mechanism’ – which left her looking at sex as a ‘one-sided’ and ‘trivial’ act even now, years later.
‘Sex for me always has been one-sided but I think all women can say that. So it’s like, if I don’t really need anything from you, I don’t see the point,’ she told her pal Emily Ratajkowski during a recent appearance on her podcast High Low with EmRata.
‘I’m really desensitized to sex, too. Like it just, it’s not thrilling for me.’
Ratajkowski, on the other hand, said that she ‘likes sex,’ to which Fox added, ‘See, I don’t. I can go without. I’m like, so good.’
‘I think when you’re sexualized so young, people think you’re really sexual,’ Ratajkowski added in response to Fox’s claims about intimacy.
‘And that’s always been a thing [since] you were a dominatrix and everything.’
Fox explained that she gets more joy out of taking ayahuasca – a South American drug that’s usually brewed into a tea and can cause one to ‘trip’ or hallucinate.
‘I wanna take ayahuasca and see God. To me that’s thrilling,’ she added. ‘That’s cool. [Sex] just seems so trivial to me.’
According to Healthline, ayahuasca is made from the leaves of the Psychotria viridis shrub along with the stalks of the Banisteriopsis caapi vine.
‘This drink was used for spiritual and religious purposes by ancient Amazonian tribes and is still used as a sacred beverage by some religious communities in Brazil and North America, including the Santo Daime,’ it explained.
‘The main ingredients of ayahuasca – Banisteriopsis caapi and Psychotria viridis -both have hallucinogenic properties.
‘When combined, these two plants form a powerful psychedelic brew that affects the central nervous system, leading to an altered state of consciousness that can include hallucinations, out-of-body experiences, and euphoria.’
While the actress never had intercourse with her clients, she admitted that the ‘transactional’ relationships with them taught her that she could ‘get money or recourses from men’ at a young age, but left her ‘damaged’ because of the ‘power’ they had over her.
‘It’s tough because yeah I’m OK, you know? But there’s been a lot of damage done,’ she continued.
‘I pretty much, in my teens, learned that I was a commodity and that I can get money or resources from men, so then it just became this game of, OK, how do I become more desirable so I could get more money and I could be like that b***h.
‘It’s still them giving me the power. It’s not my own power, you know? So it’s a humiliating kind of position to be in or humbling, rather.
‘Especially when you’re not in it anymore and you look back and you’re like, “Oh my god, I can’t believe…”‘
She said she was even forced to ‘disassociate’ during some of the interactions, adding, ‘It’s crazy but it’s a survival mechanism. We do it to live, which is insane.’
Fox previously told Paper magazine that during her job as a dominatrix, she was asked to perform as various roles like an ‘evil teacher, domineering mother, nun, or nurse.’
‘The headmistress – who’s like a manager -she would be like, “He has this specific fetish,” you know, whatever,’ she told the outlet.
‘Sometimes you get to meet them beforehand in a little consultation room, but a lot of the time, not really.
‘You just go in blindly with a little bit of knowledge and you just stretch it and make the most of it, you know?’
She added to Paper that the job did have some positives, as it taught her ‘self worth and self esteem’ because the men would treat her like a ‘f**king Goddess.’
‘My clients adored me — literally let me piss on them and do whatever I wanted,’ she said.
‘And then on top of that, they’d pay me and bring me gifts and treat me like a f**king goddess.
‘Like, I didn’t even know what to do with that. I had been treated like s**t by men my entire life, so I didn’t know that there was more.’
Fox’s job as a dominatrix, which earned her $250 an hour, helped her launch her career as an actress.
She told Alex Cooper on her Call Her Daddy podcast, ‘When people ask how did I get my start in acting, I’m like, “At the dungeon,” because I would have to improv multiple times a day, on very short notice.’
Fox is best known for her role in Adam Sandler’s Netflix movie Uncut Gems, but she also starred in the flick No Sudden Move and wrote and directed the short film Fantasy Girls. She has also flourished in the modeling industry – posing for big brands and magazines like Playboy, Diesel, Coach, Supreme, Vogue, V, Paper, and Interview, among others.
Milan, Italy-born Fox made headlines for her brief relationship with West, 45, which kicked off after they met at a party on New Year’s Eve in 2021. But the whirlwind romance fizzled out just two months later, in February 2022.
And she told Ratajkowski that the attention she received from dating the rapper impacted her career – but ‘not in a good way.’
‘After the big relationship, I definitely noticed a shift in the acting way, not in a good way,’ she explained.
‘I’m not getting as many offers as I was before, weirdly. There’s been a lot of weird drawbacks with reaching that level of notoriety.’
The brunette beauty said that she felt that people in the entertainment business think she might be a ‘liability’ and ‘tabloid type of person’ now. But she added that she was undeterred by temporary setbacks and just had ‘to trust the process.’
‘It’s fine, I’m so busy. I think things come to you at the right time, so that’s why I’m really not stressing. I really don’t care,’ she added.
Before she was linked to West, she was married to a pilot named Peter Artemiev, whom she shares a one-year-old son, named Valentino, with. And she explained to Ratajkowski that having a baby changed the way she looks at men.
‘Prior to having Valentino, whenever I would meet a guy or date a guy, I would always think, “OK, I could have a baby with him.” Like that was always my thought,’ she explained.
‘It was never like because I was in love or anything, if that makes sense … I was like nesting.
‘That was kind of always my end goal, so I think when I had Valentino it was like, “OK I’m done, I don’t need to put up with the bulls**t that comes with being around you guys anyway.”‘
While Fox said that she no longer cares about finding a guy, she admitted that she spent years ‘catering to the male gaze.’
‘I really do not get dressed with men in mind at all. At all, at all. Like I really couldn’t care less,’ she continued.
‘But there was a time in my life where maybe I didn’t have that thought per se, but I definitely subconsciously was catering to the male gaze, you know? But I was also like in survival mode. I had to.’
Fox’s comments about ayahuasca come hours after ESPN’s Robert Griffin III claimed that football player Aaron Rodgers’ use of the drug is the reason that his team, the Green Bay Packers have lost five straight games in a row.
Rodgers admitted to using ayahuasca during the 2020 and 2022 off-seasons.
‘In order for [the Green Bay Packers] to dig themselves out of this hole, they need the best version of Aaron Rodgers,’ Griffin told his ESPN co-hosts on Monday.
‘And right now, that ayahuasca seems like it has him in a completely different world.’
Other celebrities who have admitted to using the drug includes Chelsea Handler, Will Smith, Megan Fox, Lindsay Lohan, Miley Cyrus, and Susan Sarandon, among others.
