I pushed myself past my limit in 101 man sex stunt, says Lily Phillips as she finally admits the reason for her tears

SHE may have slept with 101 men in one day but it is not the controversial stunt that shot Lily Phillips to notoriety but what happened afterwards.

Despite there being endless full frontal snaps of the 23-year-old online, it is the photo of the OnlyFans star in tears that has been most widely circulated.

Appearing on Josh Pieters documentary, Lily was seen visibly distressed after bedding the huge number of men prompting concern from viewers.

And while at the time Lily insisted she was simply worried that the men hadn’t enjoyed themselves she now admits she was ill-prepared.

“I don't think I planned it or was prepared to the level that it was,”; she tells Fabulous in this exclusive interview.

“I'd done something like 37 (men) before so I thought let's try and push myself to the limit a little bit.

She adds: “It took so much longer than I thought, it was so much more exhausting than I thought. And I just hadn't prepared myself properly for it.

“The way that I did it, I think that's what had that kind of (emotional) effect on me. Like giving every guy five minutes, you know, having a chat with all the guys.

“It was just a really exhausting day, it was just my own fault for not preparing enough.

“It was a very intense day and like anyone with a long, hard day at work sometimes you can get exhausted and upset.”;

However, while Lily agrees the incident was ‘upsetting’ she insists that she is in no way traumatised by the stunt.

“I think (being known for crying) is frustrating because that's not truly how I feel about my work,”; Lily says.

“People think it's some kind of trauma or I've been abused or I'm being forced into doing this and that's just not all the truth.

“But I guess at the end of the day, everyone's going to have their own opinion on it and you can't really change that.”;

The public certainly did have an opinion with Lily facing a barage of concern and criticism following the act.

”Sadness in her eyes,” wrote one eagle-eyed TikTok user after watching the ”heartbreaking” footage.

Another agreed, wondering: ”How did not one of her friends stop her.”

”She’s not afraid of std’s? Find it dirty, shame because she could be an attractive catch,” a third said.

A worried viewer begged: ”lili, please. u can stop here. u're not in competition and there are so many ways to make u millions.”

The stunt and the controversy that followed certainly didn’t put Lily off as in December she announced plans to sleep with 1,000 men in a day during a tour of the US.

However, her plans were scuppered when she was stopped at border control where she found herself scrutinised by US border force officers over whether she was a “prostitute”.

Threatened with deportation, Lily pulled the plug on the stunt however the following month on January 13 OnlyFans competitor Bonnie Blue broke the world record when she slept with 1,057 men in a day prompting outrage across the globe.

By giving each of the men five minutes Lily's event lasted eight and a half hours while Bonnie Blue says she managed to bed ten times the amount in 12.

However, while she may have trodden on her toes Lily insists there is no beef between she and Bonnie.

She says: “It’s really hard because we're two girls in the same industry. People are always going to pit us together.

“We look similar. We're just absolutely killing it in the industry. So, of course, society just has to pin two girls together.

“We're just doing a great job, both of us.”;

While Bonnie claims her parents play an active role in her ‘business’, Lily admits that her own are less on board.

“At the start, my parents were very happy for me to go on OnlyFans,”; the model says.

“As long as I was happy, healthy, and wasn't hurting anyone, they were very happy for me to do it.

“They don't support me doing these extreme events, but they support me as a person. They love me.

“They'll always have my back, but the events aren't something they stand behind.”;

Growing up in the Derbyshire village of Denby, Lily enjoyed a privileged upbringing alongside her older brother thanks to her parents Emma and Lindsay's cleaning business.

“We're kind of the perfect family unit,”; she says, “It was quite like a quaint upbringing.

“When my parents started the business, we became a little bit more like middle class and my parents would always treat us to nice holidays.”;

Lily says she was a ‘late bloomer’ when it came to dating, having her first kiss with a boy at the age of 15.

I make enough money now that I could stop and be fine forever

But even before she entered the dating pool she admits that she was fascinated by the adult industry from the age of 13.

“I always found it was something that I was weirdly drawn to,”; she says.

After “sleeping around”; at uni, she decided to monetise her sexuality and joined OnlyFans at 18, with subscribers able to access her content for just £7.72 a month.

Expecting to make “a couple of hundred”; – but raked in £11,000 in the first month before dropping out to concentrate on her adult content.

And with an estimated 36,000 subscribers, Lily is bringing in an estimated £277, 920 a month.

And Lily has fairly humble intentions for her £3 million a year salary.

“In the next couple of months I'm actually being kicked out of my flat and so I'm hoping to spend my money on a house,”; she says.

It’s an astonishing amount compared to the average wage of £24,600 a year for someone her age, however, for Lily money isn’t her driving force.

“I think people would probably think I'm lying about that,”; she says.

“But that's not at all what drives me to do this, I make enough money now that I could stop and be fine forever.

“I want to kind of achieve these events and do some cool stuff in the porn industry. That is my main goal. Not necessarily money.”;

It’s fair to say that Lily is certainly offering something different when it comes to the adult industry.

Earlier this week the model shocked her fans once again when she revealed she had invited 50 fans to take part in a sex act too graphic for Flying Eze to mention with her and fellow porn star Wisconsin Tiff.

“That went so much smoother,”; she says.

“I had like a prep talk with all of them first to make sure they put on lube and it just felt super respectful and fun.”;

Fans have often voiced concerns about Lily’s safety during these stunts particularly after the star previously admitted she didn’t realise HIV could be contracted from sex.

However, everyone at her event was tested and came from sexual meetup websites where they could be reviewed and verified.

“If I ever felt uncomfortable with a guy, I have security there,”; she says.

However, she admits that some fans have overstepped the mark.

“Someone actually recently put a letter through my letterbox and that was when I was a little bit like, ‘oh, someone knows where I live. A bit freaky’,”; she says.

“But he was very nice in the letter and most of the time, I have really good experiences with all the fans.”;

When it comes to overstepping the mark, many would argue Lily is an expert.

I just believe that I should be able to have sex with however many people I want, just like a man would be able to

She recently sparked outrage after posting with her ‘oldest fan’ in a ‘vile’ stunt which saw her claiming to sleep with men in care homes.

And just last month she prompted outrage when she claimed to be pregnant and posted a picture cradling her ”bump”.

It was later revealed that the bump was indeed fake, with Lily revealing it had been part of a role play.

“It's only as if I was dressing up as a nurse or a policewoman, it’s for a roleplay,”; she says.

“Maybe I should have put a little bit more context behind it. But I also wouldn't take someone who does porn for a living, whatever they do on social media, really seriously.”;

While Lily might be quick to defend herself, it hasn’t stopped her from becoming one of Britain’s most criticised women.

She previously opened up about receiving death threats and says trolls regularly tell her to ‘kill herself’, she says the criticism is unwarranted.

“We're not doing anything wrong,”; she says.

“Having sex isn't bad, I personally think it's a good thing.

“I find it tricky when people discriminate against me and my job because I'm just doing something I love and making a career out of it.”;

For many, it isn’t Lily’s career choice that they are worried about but the impression she may be leaving on young girls.

She admits herself that she had access to porn from a young age and became fascinated by the industry, but she argues she offers a realistic and, she insists, a feminist approach.

“What I do, I'm totally honest about it. I try to show the very raw side to it,”; she says.

“I don't think crying in a documentary is glamorising what I do at all.

“I do consider myself to be a feminist.

“I just believe that I should be able to have sex with however many people I want, just like a man would be able to.”;
