If you haven't noticed, Jennifer Lawrence is on a press tour, which means we get treated with quirky tidbits from the queen of relatable content.

The Red Sparrow actress got incredibly candid on Howard Stern's radio show according to The Sun, and she offered more information than we've come to usually come to expect. And while she didn't spill anything about her own relationships per say, there was discussion about some her sexual history.

"I always talk like I want dick, but the truth is when I look back at my sexual past it was always with boyfriends," she told The Sun. "I talk like I like it, but I don’t really do it.”

Yeah—it went there.

“I am mostly also a germaphobe," she explained, referencing her disdain for casual sex. "I have made it this far without an STI."

But her biggest takeaway from dating in the 27 years of being on this planet?

"Dick is dangerous," she said. "If I was at the point where I could get an STI, doctors have already been involved. That is how much of a germaphobe I am.”

And now we know and have all the tools to go forth and ace those J-Law trivia questions, friends.

UPDATE: March 12, 2018, 9:21 a.m. EDT A previous version of this article suggests Lawrence was speaking exclusively to The Sun. Her comments were from Howard Stern on Sirius XM Radio.
