Lily Phillips, a 23-year-old OnlyFans star, has once again made headlines for her controversial and provocative stunts, this time showcasing the aftermath of her latest escapade, which involved sleeping with 50 men in less than 24 hours. This event, dubbed the "backdoor challenge," was completed between March 24 and 28, 2025, and has sparked a mix of fascination and concern among viewers.
Known for pushing boundaries, Phillips previously gained notoriety for her audacious antics, including a stunt where she reportedly slept with elderly men in care homes. This week, she shared a behind-the-scenes look at her latest challenge, revealing the toll it took on her body and emotions. "This here is the aftermath, my makeup, Jesus Christ," she exclaimed in an Instagram video, showcasing her disheveled appearance with hair sticking to her face and bloodshot eyes. "My hair is crusty, my eyes are red. We got such a great video. The guys had a blast, I had a blast," she added.
Completing the stunt alongside fellow adult creator Tiffany Goodtime, Phillips provided a candid account of the experience. One participant, who identified himself as the 39th man she slept with, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "Oh yeah, it’s the best party ever." This comment, along with the nature of the event, has drawn both intrigue and criticism from the public.
Despite the apparent enjoyment during the challenge, Phillips has faced backlash for her actions. In a previous documentary, she was seen visibly distressed after bedding a large number of men, which prompted concern from viewers. "I don't think I planned it or was prepared to the level that it was," she later admitted, reflecting on the emotional impact of the day. "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." While acknowledging the day was intense and upsetting, she clarified, "I am in no way traumatized by the stunt."
Critics have voiced their opinions on social media, with comments ranging from concern for her well-being to outright condemnation of her choices. One TikTok user noted the "sadness in her eyes" during her documentary appearance, while another questioned, "How did not one of her friends stop her?" The scrutiny intensified after Phillips announced plans to break her own record by sleeping with 1,000 men in a single day during a tour of the U.S. However, those plans were thwarted when she faced deportation at border control, where U.S. officers questioned whether she was a prostitute.
In January 2025, her rival, Bonnie Blue, broke the world record by sleeping with 1,057 men in a day, further fueling the competitive atmosphere in the adult industry. Phillips has emphasized that despite the rivalry, there is no animosity between her and Blue. "It’s really hard because we're two girls in the same industry. People are always going to pit us together," she stated. "We look similar. We're just absolutely killing it in the industry. So, of course, society just has to pin two girls together."
Growing up in the Derbyshire village of Denby, Phillips enjoyed a privileged upbringing, thanks to her parents' successful cleaning business. Despite her family's initial support for her OnlyFans career, they have expressed disapproval of her extreme stunts. "At the start, my parents were very happy for me to go on OnlyFans, as long as I was happy, healthy, and wasn't hurting anyone," she explained. "They don't support me doing these extreme events, but they support me as a person. They love me."
Phillips's journey into the adult industry began at a young age, as she admits to being fascinated by it since she was 13. After exploring her sexuality in college, she joined OnlyFans at 18, where she quickly found success, earning £11,000 in her first month. With an estimated 36,000 subscribers, Phillips now brings in around £277,920 a month, amounting to a staggering £3 million a year. Despite her financial success, she insists that money is not her primary motivation. "I make enough money now that I could stop and be fine forever," she stated.
In a recent event, Phillips invited 50 fans to participate in a sex act that was deemed too graphic for mainstream media. She emphasized that all participants had been tested for sexually transmitted diseases and came from verified sexual meetup websites. "If I ever felt uncomfortable with a guy, I have security there," she assured. Nevertheless, she acknowledged that some fans have crossed boundaries, recalling a recent incident where a fan left a letter at her home.
Despite her controversial choices, Phillips remains unapologetic about her lifestyle. "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 asserted. However, she has faced significant backlash, including death threats and online harassment. "We're not doing anything wrong," she said. "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."
As Phillips continues to navigate the complexities of her career, she maintains that her approach to the adult industry is both honest and feminist. "What I do, I'm totally honest about it. I try to show the very raw side to it," she explained. "I don't think crying in a documentary is glamorizing what I do at all." With her reputation preceding her, it remains to be seen how Phillips will balance her ambitions with the scrutiny that follows her every move.
