Sexual activity, including intercourse, is a natural part of human life. Beyond its primary role in reproduction, it also serves to enhance sexual pleasure, foster emotional intimacy, and strengthen the connections between individuals.
But for Lily Phillips, sex goes beyond these traditional roles.
She views it as a form of self-expression and a way to achieve personal and professional milestones, redefining its role in her life and career.
Lily who is known for her adult content on Onlyfans, took on a sexual challenge to be broadcast and sold on her accounts.
And in one day, she receives the visit of 100 men with whom she has sexual intercourse with.
She cried because of it.
It all began when Lily, originally from Derbyshire, a ceremonial county in England, announced that she was challenging herself to sleep with 100 men and was searching for volunteers.
Men could apply via email and she received applications from all over the world from Belgium to Barbados.
After the sexual encounters with those men, the adult content creator said that she is affected in a bad way, and that it's visibly shown on her face.
"I don’t know if I’d recommend it," she said in a YouTube documentary by Josh Pieters, titled, I Slept With 100 Men in One Day.
In the interview, the 23-year-old has told how the ordeal affected mental well-being.
“Just one in and one out, it feels intense,” she reflected.
It's the experience that is sort of like "being a prostitute."
Not to mention the pressure for not giving the men "a good time" due to the time limitation of each sexual activity.
This is because to achieve that milestone, she was only limiting to just a couple of minutes per person.
Despite involving sexual intercourse, this span of time may not be enough for the men, let alone to have them finish.
Lily said that her encounters with the men were filmed and that every man was asked by her if there was anything they "liked or disliked'. But still, two minutes of intimacy and about five minutes chat to get to know her is far from enough for many of the men.
Lily recounted how the men complained, and how she felt she disappointed her supporters.
After all, it's those men who 'helped' her achieve her said goals.
"I guess when you’ve promised something to people who support you it’s kinda hard to let them down," she said.
Long story short, the worse thing she felt bad about, is how she was not able to show any particular interest in the men.
But she did that to detach her body from her emotion. This allowed her to successfully endure the whole thing.
Lily who is also a sex worker, also admitted that she hadn’t yet processed what she did on that day but said she wouldn’t forget the day of her emotional interview.
She couldn't even believe she bedded with that many men, if not being filmed.
"But it’s just weird, isn’t it? If I didn’t have the videos I wouldn’t have known I did 100," she said.
"I’ve got a routine of how we’re going to do this and sometimes you’d disassociate," she reflected.
"It’s not like normal sex at all. It makes me feel so bad."
"Sometimes I feel so robotic."
However, the sex didn't affect her that much physically.
"Surprisingly, downstairs isn't sore... it took a lot longer than I thought it would be. When it was 40 and I wasn't even half way yet... it's not for the weak girls, if I'm honest, it was hard," she said.
Lily went on to explain that the experience of having sex with that many people in such a short amount of time didn’t feel as if she was just having casual sex with another person.
Despite sleeping with 100 men, she confessed to only remember about "10 guys."
The way Lily described her experience is virtually indistinguishable from the symptoms of rape trauma syndrome: mood swings, dissociation, self-blame, guilt, and sometimes, hypersexuality.
She admitted that the gangbang happened back in October of 2024.
It happened behind closed doors at a two-room apartment she rented in Chelsea, London.
She came prepared, and had even warmed up.
"I carb-loaded the night before with a huge bowl of pasta," she said.
And before the action, she tried to be "chatty and chirpy." Knowing that many of the men are not adult performers, and that many of them were very nervous, she tried to help them feel relaxed.
The men were there, invited by Lily herself, after handing her their IDs for age confirmation, and results for HIV tests.
None of the men were required to pay her anything.
All she asked in return, is that they must agree to be filmed on her content. Also, the men should all wear condoms.
And if they don’t want their face to be filmed, they can wear a balaclava.
While she tried to look cheerful, she claimed that she was also nervous deep inside.
She never bedded with that many men before, and that she was quite certain that many of the men were not telling the truth about their their STI tests.
Her goal was 100 men, but in the end, it was actually 101 deeds done, meaning that she had intercourse with one more man that her original intention.
She said that she cleaned up, and after she emerged from the shower, with teary eyes and exhauster, she recalled her cameraman was gagging from the unpleasant smell of the after sex.
"It was a huge success, but I was so tired afterwards. I celebrated with a Nando’s and then slept solidly for 14 hours," she said.
Lily explained to Pieters that her previous record was sex with 37 men in one day.
"I genuinely can’t remember any of their faces," she said.
Lily Phillips recalled how her career began while she was still studying at university, and figured out how she was "sleeping around."
She thought that she could turn this into an income.
While she didn't have the intention to make OnlyFans her career at first, she realized she could make a lot of money if she did it full-time.
Recording herself engaging in such intimate moments with so many men have affected her psychologically, but nonetheless, things have paid off.
At least financially, because she said that she how has a staff of "nine" assistants who help her in the production and the filming of her content.
And reportedly, she also made around $2.5 million from her account.
Yet, despite discussing how bedding with 100 men in 24 hours took a toll on her mental health, she declared that she plans to have sex with 1,000 men in a day.
She said that she planned this with her assistant, and is planned to happen in early in 2025.
"1,000 men in 24 hours. Male talent casting call. 18+ only. Location TBC," she posted on social media.
"I dreamed it up with my assistant. I can’t wait … It’s very exciting. It will be a world record. A real challenge!" she claimed.
"Sign up now to break a world record with me!!!" she said in a post on X.

So why 1,000?
The reason is because that is the number she needs to achieve (rounded) in order to break the record.
Previously, American porn star Lisa Sparxxx holds a world record for the most number of men slept with within 24 hours, which is 919 men.
Reportedly, this happened during the Third Annual World Gangbang Championship at the 2004 Eroticon festival in Poland. At the time, Lisa who was 27 years old, engaged in coitus with that many testosterone-fueled men over the course of a single day as part of a publicity stunt.
As a professional porn star, Lisa said in a much later interview, that it was the only thing she regretted in her whole 23 year career in the adult entertainment industry.
It was also the "only job I agreed to perform strictly for the money," she added.
It's worth noting that this claim is widely circulated online, but remains unverifiable and is not recognized by any official body.
This is because sex records are often private in nature, and in many cases, they're staged by the adult entertainment industry, and are often exaggerated for sensational purposes.
On the internet, where all kinds of pornography exist, and not to mention how AI can create a novel experience of sex, it certainly takes novelty and a lot of courage to stand out.
She said on December 15, that she will "be taking on" 300 men — which she shared is "the most amount of guys I’ve ever done."
"It’s gonna be hard but in comparison to the 1,000, this should be lightwork," she said on TikTok.
Previously, another Onlyfans model claimed to have slept with 122 of her students in two weeks, and had men queueing for it.
It's worth noting that residents were initially unaware of the "disruptive gathering,"
In fact, the property's host, a person who goes by the name Carol, was unaware of “what she had done in the flat”.
When renting the apartment, Lily gave the apartment a five-star review, and said that it "was perfect." Carol initially responded to her with saying that "Lily is a lovely guest, keeping to all the house rules and a good communicator prior to arrival."
This statement changed after Carol caught up with the news.
"We have been made aware of this now. Unfortunately, we did not know anything about what she had done in the flat and there was no sign of anything in the flat when she left," Carol is quoted saying.
"We only found out a couple of days ago. We have no further comment," Carol added.
One of neighbors also responded by saying: "I'm shocked. I have lived here for over a year and have not seen many people coming in and out of the flat since I've been here. I had no idea."
Another resident, unaware of the event, said: "It looks like some of the men were in high-vis, that wouldn't be particularly suspicious or something that would raise alarm bells because there are often workmen coming in and out of people's properties doing work."
