Lily Phillips | |
---|---|
Born | (2001-07-23) 23 July 2001 (age 23) Derbyshire, England |
Education | Sheffield University |
Occupation | Pornographic actress |
Lily Phillips (born 23 July 2001) is a British pornographic actress. Born in Derbyshire, she dropped out of the University of Sheffield to work in the pornography industry, and uploaded to OnlyFans a gang bang in which she had sex with 101 men on 19 October 2024. She then announced plans to have sex with 1,000 men in one day. Both attracted widespread attention after Josh Pieters, who had accompanied her throughout, uploaded I Slept With 100 Men In One Day to his YouTube account; most of the backlash was directed at her, though some commentators criticised OnlyFans and the men.
Life and career
Early life
Phillips was born in Derbyshire, England, on 23 July 2001. She attended the University of Sheffield, but dropped out to work in the pornography industry. After finding that both sexual images and sex were not drawing sufficient income to her OnlyFans account, she mounted a competition in which the winner got to have sex with her and began filming custom videos and taking fans' phone calls. She subsequently released a gang bang in which she had sex with 101 men on 19 October 2024. Josh Pieters accompanied her throughout. For the video, Phillips recruited men by offering sex to any man who completed an application form and took an STI test, with 200 booked. The video was filmed in an Airbnb in an expensive part of London popular with young children, with both Phillips and the landlord reviewing each other positively, and a security guard was hired for the occasion. On 5 November, she stated that she planned to become the first woman to have sex with 1,000 men in a day and that she intended to have sex with 300 men on 15 December. Some suggested that the former would beat a world record of 919 set by Lisa Sparxxx [simple] in 2004, though Sparxxx has stated that that event only involved 150 men.
I Slept With 100 Men In One Day
On 7 December, Pieters published a documentary of the project to his YouTube channel, I Slept With 100 Men In One Day. The documentary, in which Phillips stated that pornography was empowering on the grounds that men would sexualise her either way, showed the preparation carried out for the event and featured a scene in which Phillips did not appear to know that HIV could be transmitted orally, a scene in which the cameraman retched after attempting to film a room full of used condoms, and ended with a tearful Phillips stating that she had disassociated thirty men in. 100 Men was safe for work, even going so far as to blur sex toys and bleep words indicating sexual intercourse, and was 47 minutes long. The men who had sex with her were not named in the video.
Shortly after release, the video went viral; by 19 December, the video and posts discussing it on Twitter and TikTok had received several million views. The reaction to Phillips' stunt was described as that of "concern, derision, and curiosity" by Charley Ross of Grazia, who also noted that much of the backlash was directed at Phillips rather than the men who had sex with her. Some argued that she was a victim of the patriarchy, while others argued that she was insufficiently reflecting the industry and some called for OnlyFans to be shut down. Others suggested that Phillips' stunt was an effort to compete within a hypercompetitive industry.
The video came in for criticism from American conservative pundits Ben Shapiro, who wrote that Phillips had "made herself into a sex robot" whose soul was stained, and Matt Walsh, who also criticised Phillips. Theo Hobson of The Spectator and Brendan O'Neill both attributed fear, while Premier Christianity magazine wrote her an open letter and Christian influencer Russell Brand expressed empathy towards Phillips and described 100 Men as an attempt to "defibrillate divinity down here on the lower levels". Sarah Ditum of The Times, Tanya Gold, and Julie Bindel all compared the men who had sex with her to those queuing to rape Gisèle Pelicot, with Gold also writing that Phillips was "not very bright and will soon not be very well", while Sarah Fletcher of The Critic described her as a "Rorschach test for contemporary sexual culture" and discussed her experiences in relation to radical feminism and rape, specifically criticising comparisons to Pelicot. Helen Lewis of The Atlantic connected 100 Men, and internet pornography more broadly, with the logical endpoint of liberal feminism and liberalism and deregulation.
In a later interview, Phillips attributed her tears to men shaming her for not allowing them to orgasm, even though none of them had made her do so, and expressed regret for not resting between sex and fielding questions. She also stated that for her 1,000 men challenge, she would be instituting rapid HIV testing and allowing men to penetrate her once only, and encouraged those direct messaging her expressing concern to redirect their energy into supporting "someone who was an actual victim". Later that month, it was reported that the event violated multiple Airbnb policies.
Personal life and artistry
Phillips explicitly targets men with her content and identifies as a feminist. She has argued that telling people how to use their body is what feminism seeks to get away from and that those attributing her stunt to the industry's oversaturation ignore the success some creators have with much less explicit content. Her social media vlogs have included her dog, meals she eats, and other aspects of her daily routine. Lewis described Phillips's aesthetic as "that of the girl next door rather than a cartoonishly inflated adult performer".
