Lily Philips who slept with 101 men in a day given alarming health warning

Concerns have been raised over the wellbeing of 23-year-old adult star Lily Philips following her partaking in a controversial event for content creation on OnlyFans. After engaging with 101 men in a single day, a video documentary featuring a tearful Lily emerged, prompting alarm from experts and viewers alike.

In the footage, she expressed the intensity of the experience, stating: "It's not for the weak girls, if I'm honest – it was hard. I don't know if I'd recommend it."

Despite Lily assuring her mental and physical health is "really good" post-'challenge', her actions have sparked worry among peers who see an industry pushing creators beyond their limits. The Derbyshire native began producing adult content while at Sheffield University and now boasts earnings of more than £2 million.

With ambitions to escalate her trials by attempting to be with 1,000 men in one day to set a record, questions arise about the source of this growing demand for extreme performances and the repercussions for those both producing and consuming such material.

Experts have warned that the current online landscape favours viral content, which encourages creators to go to great lengths to succeed in reaching mass audiences. As these extreme OnlyFans 'challenges' continue to go viral, there are serious concerns that impressionable young people are getting a distorted view of what sex and relationships actually involve, reports the Mirror.

Lily herself raised this issue in a recent documentary, commenting that some subscribers may be expecting certain things from women that don't necessarily reflect real life. 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 cautioned: "It's a version of reality that is given to you in the context of the situation. These young people, they see this, they expect this to be what relationships are like. How women are or what men are like, and then believe that they need to fit these roles. [...] It can create all sorts of problems for both men and women, because it is not an accurate reflection of reality."

In the recent documentary, it was revealed that among the applicants eager to join the 100-men event was an 18-year-old aiming to lose his virginity, who presented his ID on camera to confirm his legal age. Another participant, who chose to remain anonymous in the film, voiced some remorse over his participation, sharing his concern about his father discovering his involvement.

The documentary raises questions about the effects of such stunts on young individuals who may act impulsively rather than rationally, especially those without professional experience in the adult entertainment sector. Jo said: "They get taken along on the dopamine of it. It gives you an extreme high, and sometimes that affects our judgement and our decision-making.

"When we're experiencing intense highs, we don't see situations as we would if we're calm and not having those dopamine hits. So it makes us much more impulsive. Then when we're acting on impulse, our inhibitions are much lower, and we do things that, with hindsight, we're like, 'Why on Earth did I do that? ' Then you have also deal with sort of the shame of the situation and the consequences of it."

Concerns have been particularly directed towards Lily, who appeared tearful at the documentary's conclusion, admitting the experience was far more "intense" than she had expected. For Jo, Lily's youth is worrisome because the pre-frontal cortex—the rational part of the brain—doesn't fully develop until the mid to late twenties.

Jo, who is aware that Lily is only 23, believes that her perspective may change significantly in the coming years and the repercussions could be "really big". She explained: "At the age of 23, your brain isn't fully developed yet, so your emotional sensor is developed, but your prefrontal cortex isn't, which is the part of your brain responsible for decision-making and rational thinking."

Jo said: "So it's something that she could definitely regret later in life and could have repercussions for her later life that she isn't aware of right now. And I think you can understand why she's doing it and the reasons behind it. But I think the consequences for her could potentially be quite big."

Responding to the widespread concern about her wellbeing, 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."

Lily has called her extreme stunts her "fantasy", yet concerns have been raised about the potential emotional impact they might have. Transformation coach Jessica Cunningham, founder of Belief Coding and someone who has faced personal traumas herself, spoke to the Mirror to offer insights into what drives individuals towards such daring content creation.

Jessica explained: "From a behavioural psychology standpoint, such actions often originate from underlying feelings of unworthiness, a need for external validation, and a deep desire for love and acceptance.

"In my experience working with individuals in similar circumstances, such as those in the adult entertainment industry, there is often a perception that their choices are driven by empowerment and confidence. However, upon deeper exploration, it frequently becomes apparent that these actions are rooted in a lack of understanding or appreciation of their own self-worth."

She further commented on Lily's situation, saying: "Regarding Lily's case, while I cannot speak definitively about her motives, it is possible that her decision to pursue such a goal stems from similar underlying factors. Without judgment, I would suggest that if she were to engage in self-reflection and inner work, she might uncover feelings of inadequacy and a longing for genuine love and connection.

"What may appear outwardly as confidence and empowerment could, in fact, be a mask for deeper emotional vulnerabilities." The Mirror engaged cyberstalking specialist Demelza Luna Reaver from The Cyber Helpline to discuss potential dangers faced by adult content creators, who might be subject to stalking by subscribers.

She said: "In terms of the trends developing, there are always concerns that these can become quite dangerous. 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." She continued to question the level of personal detail being disclosed: "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?

"The documentary in question sparked concern among viewers, as it followed Lily on her journey involving 100 men, and revealed that criminal record checks were not conducted on male participants. Despite Lily's reassurances that all men wore protection and passed instant HIV tests, her apparent misunderstanding of STI transmission stirred further apprehension. She has since reflected on the situation, admitting she was "naïve" not to screen participants for past sexual offences."

It comes as OnlyFans is under intense scrutiny for enabling extreme content, with industry experts raising concerns about the escalating pressures on creators to produce shock-value content. Online critics are now even advocating for the platform's ban as more stars push boundaries to attract and keep subscribers, seemingly with minimal safeguarding.

The Mirror has raised these concerns with OnlyFans and requested clarity on their safeguarding measures, but has received no response.
