Hilary Duff Discovers Sex Enjoyment in Her Thirties

revealed her sex life has only . 

During a candid new interview with the Los Angeles Times, the former child star, 38, admitted she spent much of her 20s still trying to figure things out behind closed doors.

'I finally feel like I know a lot about sex,' she said while promoting her upcoming album. 'My whole 20s, sex was not always enjoyable. There was so much to figure out. Now, I finally understand it.'

The former Lizzie McGuire star added that the shift may come down to confidence and experience, quipping: 'Maybe that's a female thing, but I'm not ready to be put out to pasture.'

Duff's new record, Luck... or Something, marks her first album release in more than a decade and dives headfirst into themes of love, maturity, intimacy and self-reflection. 

Last month, Duff turned heads with the release of her unapologetically racy single Roommates, which features explicit lyrics that quickly sparked conversation online.

The chorus includes eyebrow-raising lines about late nights, dive bars and secret hookups - a far cry from the squeaky-clean image many fans first knew her for.

In the chorus, she sings about a sexual encounter in the 'back of the dive bar.'
