In her cover story the actress talked about her Golden Globe-nominated show and negative comments it receives for its sexuality.
"Critics said, 'That guy wouldn't date that girl!' It's like, 'Have you been out on the street lately?' " Dunham said.
Dunham continued to discuss the concept of sexuality and dating, saying it's not a simple concept. "Everyone dates everyone, for lots of reasons we can't understand.
"Sexuality isn't a perfect puzzle, like, 'He has a nice nose and she has a nice nose! She's got great breasts and he's got great calves! And so they're going to live happily ever after in a house that was purchased with their modeling money!' " she added. "It's a complicated thing. I want people, ultimately, even if they're disturbed by certain moments, to feel bolstered and normalized by the sex that's on the show."
Girls airs Sundays on HBO at 10 p.m. ET.
