Jehnny Beth: Sex is a wonderful way to test yourself

"Fantasies are not real. There shouldn’t be any boundaries in that. What I’m interested in is the freedom of the imagination about sexuality and the fact that behind closed doors, when you’re not hurting anybody, you can imagine and do whatever you want"- Jehnny Beth of the Savages told the Guardian about her debut solo album 'To Love Is to Live', out in May. She sees the stage similarly: “You can scare the shit out of yourself! But once you understand you’re absolutely safe, suddenly you can do anything – look at Iggy Pop. I see sex the same way – a wonderful way to test yourself. It is important because once you test yourself, you know yourself. You need that as a person and you need that as an artist”.
