Rachel Bilson has just opened up about what she likes in the bedroom. During a recent episode of the Women on Top podcast, the actress shared what she has

"I've learned that if you want to have an orgasm during sex, you have to be on top," she told Roxy Manning and Tammin Sursok. However, when it comes to her preferred position, she admitted that she likes missionary. "Missionary is my favorite," she said. "I want to be fucking manhandled."

Bilson went on to be equally clear about what she doesn't like in bed, saying that she tends to avoid doggy style "depending on the actual dick," explaining: "Because it can go so deep and hurt."

The OC and Hart of Dixie star has had some pretty high-profile boyfriends, including Adam Brody, Hayden Christensen (with whom she has a daughter), and comedian Bill Hader. She split from Hader during the Covid pandemic, and has described dealing with the breakup during lockdown as "harder than childbirth."

Since then, she has begun seeing somebody new, telling Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper last year that she is definitely not single. She chose to keep the identity of her new beau to herself, but did confirm that he is bringing her "coffee" and "missionary" in the mornings.

Bilson is, of course, best known for playing Summer Roberts in the teen soap The OC for four years. She is revisiting that early 2000s pop culture phenomenon in her own podcast, Welcome to the OC, Bitches!, in which she and former co-star Melinda Clarke make their way through the show for the first time in 20 years.
