Lily Phillips became one of the most well known Only Fans creators and controversial porn stars of our generation, after her "100 men in a day" challenge. She then went on to break a record by sleeping with 1000 men in one day. Her challenges and stunts, as well as her collaborations with Bonnie Blue, saw her take on a lot of criticism from the wider community as a bad role model for young woman - but since when were adult stars meant to be role models, and why has it fallen on them to educate kids on sex? In this must-listen episode, Lily Phillips sits down for her deepest interview yet. Lily opens up about why she doesn’t like being compared to Bonnie Blue, her firm belief that sex education needs to happen younger, and why she’s officially done with challenge-style content.
