OccupationPornographic actress

Lillian Daisy Phillips (born 23 July 2001) is an English pornographic actress. Born in Derbyshire, she dropped out of the University of Sheffield to work in the pornography industry; her aesthetic has been described as "that of the girl next door". In late 2024, she uploaded to OnlyFans a gang bang in which she had sex with 101 men and then announced plans to have sex with 300 and then 1,000 men in one day. Both attracted widespread attention after Josh Pieters, who had accompanied her throughout the former, uploaded I Slept with 100 Men in One Day to his YouTube account. Although the documentary itself was praised, Phillips and OnlyFans were heavily criticised for the stunt and a few commentators compared the men to those queuing to rape Gisèle Pelicot. Phillips later defended both the stunt and her occupation.

Life and career

Early and personal life

Lillian Daisy Phillips [1] was born in Derbyshire, England, on 23 July 2001 [2] and identifies as a feminist. [3] She attended the University of Sheffield, but dropped out to work in the pornography industry. [2] 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 [4] and began filming custom videos and taking fans' phone calls. [5] Helen Lewis of The Atlantic described Phillips's aesthetic as "that of the girl next door rather than a cartoonishly inflated adult performer". [5] Phillips explicitly targets men with her content [3] and promoted herself on podcasts optimised for the manosphere such as the Whatever podcast. [5]

On 19 October 2024, she released a gang bang in which she had sex with 101 men. [6] For the video, Phillips recruited men by offering sex to any man who completed an application form and took an STI test, [5] with 200 booked. [7] The video was filmed in an Airbnb in London and present throughout were both a security guard and Josh Pieters, [7] a South African-born content creator who had previously gone viral for political pranks. [5] One man gave Phillips a rose before taking part, which remained on the bed unwrapped for the remainder of the event. [5] 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. [8]

I Slept with 100 Men in One Day

On 7 December, [8] Pieters published to his YouTube channel I Slept with 100 Men in One Day, a 47-minute documentary of the project, [2] and his first. [5] The documentary, in which Phillips stated that pornography was empowering on the grounds that men would sexualise her either way, [9] depicted her selection of sex toys and accountancy spreadsheets and contained footage of her shopping for the event and receiving notifications from prospective co-stars. [10] 100 Men featured a scene in which Phillips did not appear to know that HIV could be transmitted orally, [3] 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. [5] The YouTube version of 100 Men censored its swearing due to the platform demonetising obscene content. [5] The men who had sex with her were not named in the video, [3] although some were interviewed; one flew in from Switzerland and had no regrets, while another expressed concern that his father would find out. [5]

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, [9] with one tweet, which featured Phillips crying, receiving 200,000,000 views. [5] The reaction to Phillips's 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 dangerousness of the industry and some called for OnlyFans to be shut down. Others suggested that Phillips's stunt was an effort to compete within a hypercompetitive industry [3] and 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 and Lewis suggested that Houston held the record after having sex with 620 men in 1999. [5]

The video came in for criticism from American conservative pundit Ben Shapiro, who wrote that Phillips had "made herself into a sex robot" whose soul was stained, [5] and by Theo Hobson of The Spectator [11] and Brendan O'Neill of Spiked, who both attributed the stunt to fear. [12] Lois McLatchie-Miller of Premier Christianity magazine wrote her an open letter [13] and Christian influencer Russell Brand expressed empathy towards Phillips and described the stunt as an attempt to "defibrillate divinity down here on the lower levels". [5] Julie Bindel of The Spectator, [14] Sarah Ditum of The Times , [4] and Tanya Gold of The Standard all compared the men who had sex with her to those queuing to rape Gisèle Pelicot, [15] with Bindel asserting that "no woman has a fantasy to end up with the type of injuries that will occur from such extreme activities" [16] and Gold opining that Phillips was "not very bright and will soon not be very well". [5] Victoria Smith of The Critic wrote that she could not "look at clips of Phillips in the immediate aftermath of what she "consented" to and think "yes, that woman is fine"", [16] while the same publication's Sarah Fletcher 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. [17] Lewis wrote that the only person exploiting Phillips was Phillips herself [5] and Jackie Jennings of Jezebel blamed content creation more generally. [18]

Reviewing the documentary for Rolling Stone , sex worker Jessie Sage praised the documentary for "the attention Pieters gives to the work that goes on behind the scenes of any sexual transaction and the respect shown to Phillips as a successful businesswoman" and praised Phillips for "allowing people outside the industry to see her vulnerability and her complex feelings about her labor". Both Sage [10] and Jennings opined that Phillips's shoot suffered from numerous safety deficiencies, with Jennings singling out lacks of security guards and background checks and a "cavalier" attitude toward sexually transmitted infections and Sage writing that this showed Phillips's "youth and inexperience". [18] Lewis connected 100 Men, and internet pornography more broadly, with the logical endpoint of liberal feminism and liberalism and deregulation, [5] and wrote that "as a pure artifact of internet culture and social mores in 2024, I Slept with 100 Men in One Day is hard to surpass". She also praised Pieters' demeanour throughout the film, writing that he appeared "to be the only person on-screen who cares about Phillips's happiness rather than fulfilling their own fantasy or enabling her career". [5]

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, scheduled for February 2025, she would be instituting rapid HIV testing and allowing men to penetrate her once only, and that those attributing her stunt to the industry's oversaturation ignored the success some creators have with much less explicit content. In addition, she argued that telling people how to use their body was what feminism sought to get away from and encouraged those direct messaging her expressing concern to redirect their energy into supporting "someone who was an actual victim". [3]

In January, following Bonnie Blue claiming to have had sex with 1,057 men on 11 January, Phillips invited men to have anal sex with her, [19] Eli Cugini of Dazed criticised tabloids for their coverage of both stunts, [18] and Katherine Ryan stated that the men queuing for them were "losers". [20] Olivia Petter of The Independent [21] and Felicity Martin of Glamour subsequently wondered why Blue and Phillips were being shamed but not the men who queued to have sex with them and drew comparisons with the men who queued to rape Gisèle Pelicot, [22] while Eva Wiseman of The Guardian wrote that "the intentions and morals of these men were not of interest, because… it’s normal". [23] Petter worried "about the landscape their behaviour creates for other women, particularly teenagers", [21] while Martin drew comparisons with G-Eazy's "Lady Killers II", in which he raps about wanting to top Wilt Chamberlain’s claims he had sex with 20,000 women. By the time of Martin's report, Blue and Phillips had filmed a video opening their front door to a large group of hooded men. [22] Phillips later claimed on a 21 January episode of Bradley Martyn's Raw Talk podcast that she had had sex with FaZe Banks earlier that month [24] and on an appearance on Lena Plug and Adam 22's Plug Talk Podcast that customs agents had asked her about her videos during a trip to the United States.
