Woman who slept with 100 men in a day enters 'training' for worrying challenge

Lily Philips went viral for sleeping with 100 men in 24 hours. Now she's in 'training' for a new extreme 'sex challenge' and it's left people concerned for her welfare

Lily Phillips has left people heartbroken with a concerning update about her next 'extreme' challenge.

The adult star, who went viral last month after sleeping with 101 men in a day and filming it for OnlyFans, has sparked widespread concern as she tearfully revealed the 'sex marathon isn't for the weak'.

A documentary revealing the true toll of creating such content has fuelled fierce backlash against OnlyFans, as people fear there is little safeguarding in place for extreme viral creators like Lily Phillips, Bonnie Blue and Annie Knight, nor for participants, who are often young men.

The 23-year-old, from Derbyshire, sparked fears when she told YouTuber Josh Pieters: "It's not for the weak girls if I'm honest – it was hard. I don't know if I'd recommend it. It's a different feeling. It's just one in one out, it feels intense." Josh asked if it was more demanding than she thought and she broke down in tears, saying: "Definitely."

Despite getting emotional in the clip, Lily told viewers that she is healthy and mentally strong. Revealing why women are resorting to such severe challenges on the platform, Lily said: "You have to stand out with unique content. You have to be different... Because there are so many people on OnlyFans."

And now Lily has a worrying new ambition: to sleep with 1,000 men in a day this month. The young star is said to be "in training" for the physically and emotionally demanding event, and her plans have left people in tears.

In an interview on the Reality Check Show podcast, she described the logistics of organising such a 'challenge' as 'insane'. Lily is even hoping to beat her target, as she admitted: "I'll try and just get the thousand in as quick as possible and hoping it's gonna take me like 15, 16, 17 hours."

Viewers of the podcast were left concerned for Lily, with one commenter writing: "You make me want to cry." And another said: "No Lily, please honey, you don't want to do this. You are so much more."

The OnlyFans creator also left fans heartbroken after making a confession about how she views herself. In a new interview with podcast host Shizzo, Lily told the host her self-respect was "out the window". She added: "I don't even know what self-respect means at this point," before stressing: "I respect myself, I guess."

Some viewers admitted they were left crying following Lily's 'painful' confession. One wrote: "I just want to hug her" while another said: "Wow. This one is painful." Another viewer said: "I feel so sorry for her" alongside a crying face emoji.

The worrying new trend has raised concerns with fellow creators too. Film star Alex Le Tissier, who appeared in Lily's YouTube doc, said: "I just think it's really sad. I just worry about her mental health. I'm hoping it's a hoax and it's not going to actually happen, I don't know. From what I've seen of her. I think she's young and beautiful, I just don't think she has to sleep with a hundred guys in one day for attention."

In response to the widespread concern about her welfare, Lily recently told the Daily Star: "I mean obviously I was quite emotional [in the documentary] and just very, very overwhelmed. But, yes, my mental wellbeing is really good and physical health is really good.

"The thing is, I'm not a victim, so I don't deserve this sympathy. I would much rather people put their efforts into someone who's an actual victim. And so it just makes me feel a little bit sad because I feel like I'm taking a lot of energy away from someone who actually needs help."

Experts have warned that the current digital landscape, which pressures creators to make viral content, could be putting sex workers at risk. Cyberstalking expert specialist Demelza Luna Reaver, of The Cyber Helpline, told the Mirror: "In terms of the trends developing, there are always concerns that these can become quite dangerous. And when I say dangerous, I mean in terms of security and safety.

"More personal information is being shared. I know that in the documentary there was a conversation around personal commissioning for videos. One-to-one videos, and so on. And it's ensuring that, if this is participated in, what level of detail is being shared? Is there still a safety barrier between the creator and the person who is purchasing that video or any type of content for that person? Or are they sharing personal details with a person online that they've never met, and it could put them at risk in the future?"

There are also fears that impressionable young people are getting a warped idea of what sex and relationships actually involve. Health psychologist Jo Rodriguez, from Straightforward Psychology, told the Mirror that younger "brains are not adaptive enough to recognise actually that's not the real world". She warned: "It can create all sorts of problems for both men and women because it is not an accurate reflection of reality."

The Mirror has put these concerns to OnlyFans and has asked for clarity on their safeguarding measures with no response. But CEO Keily Blair, who once worked as a partner in a London-based law firm, has previously insisted that the platform is "safe" and "empowering".

"I am a feminist," Blair told an audience at the women-led Trouble Club in August. "My feminism helps to inform why I do this job."

''I will continue to put our creators at the heart of every business decision and will provide them with an inclusive, safe, and innovative platform to connect with their fans and monetise their content.''
