Lily Phillips' Disturbing "100 Guys" Scandal Has Divided The Internet, "HOT ONES" SOLD for $82.5M &

[@iinalii]

It was Lily's choice, and I'm not anti porn but the fact she didn't know that you can get HIV from oral was really concerning. It's important for sex workers of any kind to know how diseases can be transmitted and the fact she didn't seem to know or care genuinely does make me worry about these being self harming behaviors. in the end though she's a grown adult and while I can worry it's not my place as an internet stranger to tell her to stop. I hope she's okay.

[@jennamarie2481]

DAMN. What a great point on the possible self harming behavior.

[@Radhaun]

I agree, I kind of think she needs a better team. Someone on her team should be educating her about the risks she clearly doesn't understand she's taking. if she doesn't know about HIV, does she know about any of the other STIs she could get? Is she aware of the risk of infection if she isn't properly lubricated or doesn't wash the ejaculate from her eyes? It feels like she's very young and not well educated on sex as an act and it just feels like she needs an older, much more experienced sex worker on her team to educate her.

[@KoushaTalebian]

Doing too much of anything, whether it's eating, drinking, gambling, or sex in this case, is called addiction and it's a problem that needs to be addressed.

The Lily Phillips situation had problems that all stemmed from logistics. Her & her team should have spend *at least* a MONTH not only vetting the participants, but making sure they knew *what* was expected of them and what they were *allowed* to do. Honestly, even if it meant they had fewer applicants, they should have signed a contract!

[@zeropolicy7456]

Contracts, security, extensive screening, a face to face interview between her and every single successful applicant, medical professionals on standby before, during, and after, extensive legal counsel on potential issues, and a mandatory mental health check-in before AND afterwards. So many things needed to happen that just straight up didn't because she is a complete newbie to this kind of thing, and it doesn't really seem like anyone from her "team" really sat down with her and both stressed the importance of safety here and was in her corner during, either. Someone should have been present to pull people off of her after their allotted time was up, if necessary. The fact that no one did, that no one was willing to do something like that, shows that nobody there truly cared about her safety and well-being. That whole situation was a textbook lesson in people not knowing what the hell they're doing.

Best comment. It is amazing what the porn industry (especially non-Western) is allowed to get away with. Western porn themes are pretty damn tame.

Even if it is a fantasy, there’s a reason that we moderate the themes so heavily in the West.

A big part of the reason it took Buzzfeed this long to sell First We Feast (they've been trying for like a year and a half) is ironically *because* of Sean Evans. Sean Evans IS the brand - what if someone paid $70 million (the initial asking price) and then Sean just decided to up and leave 6 months later? Then you just paid $70 million for bupkis. Sean having more of an ownsership/executive role was essential for any kind of deal to go through.

As for the guys; it's very possible that homeboy freaked out after he learned how many guys fucked her before he got a shot.

With Lily’s story, first the documentary was great, very well done. However, I’m concerned she’s not aware of the risk of HPV, which can in some cases lead to throat or ovarian cancer. Even when using protection you can contract HPV quite easily. Your body can fight it off, but equally it can turn to cancer.

[@sourgreendolly7685]

Adding to the concern: there's no test for male HPV, most cases are without symptoms (especially in men), and HPV can lie dormant in your body for years. That said, point of clarification: 80% of human adults have some form of HPV in their lives and it's definitely *not* equally likely to lead to cancer - most often your body fights it off just fine. She's obviously at a much higher risk than the average human adult and that should be taken seriously but I do think it's important to be clear on the facts.

puberty blockers have been used since the 1970s. There is plenty of research on the effects of the drug on children.

She didn’t even understand how HIV is spread, and I think that’s to do with the fact that Gen Z didn’t have to grow up during, or at the latter end of the AIDS epidemic. I was a child in the 90’s and AIDS was still very much center stage; education was constantly happening. We’d come to know how it’s spread, how to avoid it and that you can’t catch it by hugging or being around someone. But bc younger Millenials and Gen Z didn’t grow up with HIV/AIDS being talked about non-stop and being told how to avoid it, I feel this younger generation behind us, hasn’t lived with seeing people die from it, so they falsely feel it’s no longer dangerous or a high risk. I’m a Millennial and I’m stunned by her seeming lack of STD awareness and concern for her own future prospects and health. On top of the damage to her mental health, this will be what she’s known for, forever. That’s just facts. I’m sorry for her and I hope she stops.

[@AnotherAustin-z7b]

Maybe she went to a Catholic school without sex Ed, because public schools definitely still put the fear of God in you about sleeping without a condom as long as they still have sex Ed, it's like the only purpose of it. They don't really explain the reality of why it's not great to have multiple sexual partners. Essentially every time you sleep with someone you are exposing yourself to them AND everyone they ever slept with. Unless they get a STD test before sleeping with you, and you can trust that it's real then you are essentially sleeping with every partner they have ever slept with. Even with an STD test, it doesn't test for everything, and isn't always perfectly effective, so there is still a substantial risk.

[@hoosierhiver]

I'm GenX and remember it well. I was a nurse at the time and saw people die. One thing you did not mention was nobody knew about it until people started dying on a large scale. People shouldn't assume there isn't another new STD going around that hasn't even been named yet.

The Lily Philips case just makes me appreciate the safeguards that porn actors have fought for and gained in the professional porn industry. OnlyFans creators don’t have that. Clearly, her “team” doesn’t fully appreciate what supporting her would be like. I don’t really watch porn (not against it if it’s consensual), but even I know that trying to do the proper safeguards in a situation like this as an uninformed sex worker is basically impossible. A sex therapist and other professional porn actors/sex workers should have been involved to not necessarily dissuade her, but help her fully grasp what she was getting into.

[@Jirangaaa]

I don’t think you understand what only fans has done for the porn industry. It put all the power into the hands of the porn star. No longer do women have to trust sus men who don’t have their best interests in heart. Onlyfans models have all the power if they own their accounts. The safeguards you’re talking about need to be put in place by the onlyfans models. But it’s still a much safer option than traditional porn and gives the power back to the women completely. It’s her choice when it comes to EVERYTHING on onlyfans. You don’t have that kind of control when you show up to someone else’s set.

@@Jirangaaa Never once infantilized her. People who have sex still need to have some discussions/info before their first orgy. Saying that isn’t infantilizing anyone.

If she decided to do this after being fully informed of things, then she absolutely could go for it. Consent is important, but so is informed consent and proper aftercare.

[@OGHumorBot]

My partner works in the online adult entertainment industry, and creates exclusively solo content. The reason is that, while it can absolutely make more money to create content with random people, it’s just inherently *SIGNIFICANTLY* less safe. All it takes is one person who fakes an STI test, one person who doesn’t follow the rules, one person who decides to not respect consent, and suddenly you have a very serious and life-altering situation on your hands. There’s a reason that when large professional studios make content like this, it takes months of planning, logistics, and vetting before the shoot, and very tight security, contracts, and lots of support staff the day of the shoot. It feels like this had much less planning, logistics, and support throughout, and it’s a shame. Also to the point that the envelope is constantly being pushed in that space, that’s absolutely true. While it’s become much easier for the average person to get into the industry, that’s meant that it becomes MUCH harder to stand out from the crowd. If you’re a performer and not willing to do something, there’s someone else out there who IS (either for enjoyment or from desperation), and there is also always someone willing to do it for less. There is a proverbial “race to the bottom” going on, so I expect stories like this to pop up more and more, especially once you see the financial incentives on the back end to creating more (and more eye-catching) content.

Regarding the Lily Phillips situation, I think the main issue here is the seeming lack of preparation and due diligence that went into the event. Even a quick search on Google will show that this is far from the first time someone has done something like this and with higher counts too. It's just that most other times, they tend to have been for a professional shoot (that hopefully had more thorough vetting). And that this time, the person was given a platform that reached mainstream audiences and attention.

[@lostnemesis]

I've had two comments and I'm of three minds about the 100 people situation because I don't know how KZbin is censoring today, Lily did decide to do this. If it was her management who put it in her head and they were the driving forces they should have put more checks and balances in, if it was mainly her or a cooperative effort then she failed with basic due diligence about safety because she didn't know how intimately transmitted diseases work, It sucks that she didn't do this like some other events, because she was not the first woman who decided to have intimacy with loads of men on camera. She may be one of the first who decided to do it behind closed doors for each man individually, there should have been more checks and balances making sure when that time is up someone comes in be like "get the F out" type thing maybe give you a 20-second buffer "if you have to go a little longer go but that's it" but it seems like that wasn't in place so it was just poorly thought out.

[@DrMattPhillips]

It's going to be a long write up, but it's deeply important context for the UK puberty blockers story at 16:35: The report Streeting cites does not have a 'lack of evidence' issue, the issue is the Cass report dismisses every study that is not 'double-blind' as invalid which is every positive study on the subject. Upon dismissing these studies, they conclude, 'there's not enough evidence', making the issue seem more contested than it actually is. The reason double-blind studies do not matter in this context, outside major ethical issues that would come with carrying out a double-blind study on puberty blockers: It's physically impossible. If you cannot tell which patient was given which hormone, you shouldn't be a doctor. As chances are, the patient growing breasts might have been given estrogen, the one with a beard etc. etc. The author of the Cass report actually walked it back due to these very issues, yet the UK government is still citing it, without once addressing a single issue brought up with it by anybody in the medical field. If you take all the information at face value without dismissing valid evidence for invalid reasons, you end up with the obvious conclusion that we keep coming to time and again: Trans healthcare helps trans people. The bigger story here is that Wes Streeting, a man with no background within practising medicine, is being allowed to dictate medical practices on the basis of either intentional maliciousness, a zealot ant-trans prejudice, or genuine ignorance. If it were your healthcare or anybody else's, and you were concerned about something and wanted a doctor to look at it, you likely would not be satisfied if this politician, stood at the back of the room, haphazardly trying to advise the doctor, and saying 'trust me' whenever the doctor said he was reading the charts wrong. The fact that any person without a career in practising medicine is allowed to overstep actual doctors and experts shows the state of the UK government. Keep in mind, as stated, puberty blockers are not banned for minors, just transgender minors. Any minors with growth issues will still have access to them without an issue. Which further highlights the absurdity of the ban. The patterns of medical apathy heavily remind me of the HIV pandemic, and will equally lead to countless avoidable deaths. Another important note of context for this video in particular: The video editor showed a picture of Tavistock at 22:54 as an example of the 'contested nature' within Europe, but the same organization did a 10-year, peer reviewed, long-term study on puberty blockers and came to the conclusion that it helps almost everybody on there with unusually high numbers for any medical study, let alone this one. & The European Academy of Paediatrics who are cited in the quote said in the exact same text quoted that "Puberty blockers may be justified in those severely troubled by lack of congruence between gender identity and sex, as delaying puberty and proceeding to transition may be less harmful than the long-term consequences of GnRH-a therapy." - The quote cited was specific, and out of context I think it is unintentionally misleading.

@@jesusbarrera6916 This is extremely poor reasoning. The same reasoning would dismiss the Covid-19 vaccine for not specifically being created to deal with Covid-19, despite all evidence showing it benefiting Covid-19 patients. Nearly to all forms of modern medicine derive from a different use case. Penicillin was not invented with the idea of creating penicillin in mind, the discovery of its benefits were retroactive. Also, arguing that blocking puberty for trans children is a different use case for blocking puberty for any child in a medical context doesn't make sense to me. the practice is the same and would vary on which blocker (yes, there is more than one) is used, regardless of who it is being given to. So I don't even agree with your premise. Your argument seems entirely motivated by biases within your perspective of trans people being 'other', but remove that and the whole position does not work, even slightly.

On the puberty blockers thing - there are plenty of young people who go on blockers for early puberty or other health issues, and there are no safety concerns there. Also, there are lots of trans adults who were trans kids, who went on blockers, and no one has bothered to follow up with them or see if they had negative or positive outcome etc.

[@cobrastrichzero]

going on puberty blockers for precocious puberty to delay puberty until a normal age is very different than going on them to delay normal puberty for an indeterminate time, and by default comes with a different risk/benefit profile that requires different, well done randomized controlled trials. And there are enough cases of teenagers saying they felt rushed through the process, who regret their decisions, or who have detransitioned that we should all be concerned, both for those who are harmed by the treatment, and for the harm it does politically to the acceptance movement writ large. The problem is the state of the evidence is so very weak, and it is a deep problem that a medical question everywhere else has become political in the US. There is currently no good evidence that these treatments are effective for minors. Even assuming the massive increase in trans youth we've seen in the last decade is purely because of increased awareness, we did not have an epidemic of suicide prior to the mid 2010s, which in my estimation corroborates with the fact that we have no good evidence that minors who don't get puberty blockers and hormones are at an increased risk of suicide (troublingly, some evidence even suggests receiving treatment could increase the suicidality in some populations (this isn't strong evidence either, and though we tend to have a lower threshold in discussions of harm, still take it with a grain of salt, obviously)

see, this is what people who have zero knowledge of this area of care. 1. trans affirming healthcare-- what is being blocked in this bill-- is so many other things other than hormone blockers. it can be speech therapy, or counseling. 2. hormone blockers do exactly that. when a child is pre-pubesent, it pauses hormones so they have the time to go thru all the steps they need to to make sure they want to go that route. never mind that the de-trainsitioning is so rare as to be almost non-existant, hormone blockers are safe, and the least harmful option even if they should decide they don't want to transition. if they decide against it, they simply stop taking the blockers, and they hit puberty just like everyone else. there is LITERALLY NO HARM DONE. i don't know how to say this any clearer. hormone blockers are the best thing you can do for a trans or questioning kid. it's just a pause button that will prevent them from going thru so much pain.

[@CerberusC23]

@the_CineCita exactly! "We need more reasearch!" Is something you say as you make plans to do research, not something you should say while banning the recommended and safe treatment already available and in use! They ignore the research and pretend that the weird twisted lies and misleading arguments made by people with no expertise or experience are anywhere near as weighted as the numerous grown adults who have not been harmed by puberty blockers since the 80s, or the doctors who reccomend it because it works

[@mo.ka.9661]

​@the_CineCita when children are allowed to grow natural, most detransition. However most children that are placed on puberty blockers progress on to full transition. It is literally harmful to PURPOSEFULY impair healthy body pa

[@steveaustin330]

This is just their stepping stone to take away all health care to trans adults,

[@JTsek]

Banning an existing treatment while you "gather evidence" is cruel.

[@Andreamom001]

They definitely should have continued giving thalidomide to pregnant women! Why stop just to study if its causing harm? It’s an existing treatment…it stops nausea, and it’s cruel to stop using it to “gather evidence.”

[@GuineaParents]

How? What if they find it causes issues and they find a better alternative? Seems weird to make it negative when things like this happen often

[@vampiredinosaur]

They did stuff like this during the AIDs crisis in the 80s. Watch Dallas Buyers Club that’s based on a true story. The cruelty is the point. It’s their bodies. They can choose for themselves.

[@SamuraiBonesie]

@@GuineaParentsbecause it’s in bad faith. They wouldn’t ban guns before finding evidence.

[@skorkabian]

Puberty blockers and hormones are harm mitigation. It takes a lot of counseling and informed consent to get on them as a minor. The whole purpose of harm mitigation is that even if there are risks, they are still lower danger than the harm that would happen otherwise. Think of it like surgery. Surgery is not safe. There are plenty of people that die or get permanent damage from surgeries. The reason we do surgeries is the outcomes are almost always better after surgery than otherwise.​@@GuineaParents

[@WishfulCreation]

It's easy to be complacent in the US when violence is growing around the world. But it does feel like only a matter of time before this trend reaches our doorstep. Scary stuff.

[@notXaragame]

Hey Phil, trans woman here who just became an adult and was lucky enough to start hormones at 17. If I wasn't able to get the care that I started when I was 16 I genuinely don't think I'd be here today. The years before my transition I was a bored, apathetic, kid that didn't really care much about the future. And although transitioning didn't solve everything, it made me want to care to do more with my life. It gave me hope. It gave me a future that I genuinely cared for and wanted to work towards. I could imagine myself happy. All of these bans just seem to be putting more kids who were like me in danger of never being able to live out happy lives. Politicians are playing with the lives of trans children and it's sick. These medications have been researched for decades and are completely fine when used for the care of cis kids. But as soon as trans kids want them it becomes something we need to panic over it. This is only exemplified by how the ban in UK doesn't affect cis kids who need them to delay an early puberty I know some people might say, "Why can't you just wait until you're an adult". And to that I say you don't know the anguish and the horror of having to watch your body slowly slip into something that isn't yours, that you're disgusted by. Watch the one of the primary ways people see you and understand you slowly become the exact opposite of how you see yourself, possibly permanently. To know that your body is changing into something you loathe and there's nothing you can do to change it. I was lucky enough to only experience it for a few months since I was able to get hormones a year after coming out at 16. And I had really supportive family and friends to help me get through the first year. But to go through that experience without the knowledge that there is a way out soon. Especially if that knowledge comes with the fact that I don't have a strong support system and I live in an area that doesn't accept me. It creates a feeling of hopelessness in a lot of kids that can really fuck up their last years of adolescence and first years of adulthood. I hate to see the younger generations be denied the same opportunity to happiness that I was granted.

[@jesusbarrera6916]

Bored pathetic kid that didn't care about the future..... so like a normal kid

[@Icarus07c]

The irony of saying government is playing with the lives of children when you're advocating for affirmative care when the doctors themselves are telling us there isn't enough evidence to support it's efficacy.

[@beewest5704]

Glad it worked out for you but there is also many kids who regretted it.

[@Dloopgroop]

The phrase "trans children" is sick. Ok p3d0?

[@lemonywhippets]

1% of regret shouldn't hold back 100s of others who seek that care. Also alot of people who do detransition do it out of social issues & safety in their own lives & may transition again once they find themselves in a better place. ​@beewest5704

[@self.construction.day1]

The norm of pardoning and commuting sentences for a new leader is quite interesting for me as someone from the UK because I feel like my country would have a melt down from doing such a thing. We are so obsessed with fearmongering and usually I get to point to the US and say "thank goodness we're not doing that" but on this occaision I feel kind of envious that our own leadership cannot actually take a look at who is imprisoned for the wrong reasons and do the right thing.

[@conormurphy4328]

The problem with that is our politicians would absolutely use that power for the wrong reasons on their influential friends and rich colleagues

[@self.construction.day1]

​@@conormurphy4328I don't know about that. When you consider the way politicians in the UK can so easily be pushed to resign. It is also something you could legislate against.

That girl is going to need therapy to process this. Yes, it was her choice, but she put pressure on herself, let things slide, and seeing her after, that’s worrisome. I recommend that she get tested and get all the help she needs to move forward. I hope in doing so, she rethinks her future plans to beat her record. There’s always going to be another record to break, but mental health is something that can f you up for a long time just once.

[@theclocktower3258]

While I am trans I wasn't able to start my transition until my mid-20s. Had I been able to start younger it would have been a miracle in hindsight. That being said I didn't even fully realize I was trans until about 18. It's not that I didn't show a lot of signs it's just that I was conditioned to deny them. I agree there should always be more studies done, but I'm not even sure what they're guarding against. What long-term risks are they even wary of?

[@GMAceM]

In regards to the last story and telling yourself things are going to be fine, I honestly think most of us live by those words because if we didn’t then life would be a nightmare. I also think it’s the little happy moments like sitting down and watching an episode of an anime, playing a video game, or hanging with friends when I have some free time that make me feel that things are alright especially when I consider that in some parts of the world there are people who can’t even do that.

[@neryrosas4882]

Phil eluded to a break, even if it’s short one I went like “noooo” But you deserve it Phil, thanks for the shows!

[@firecrushfox]

I think what sucks is, while she's perfectly within her right to choose to do what she did, it's super damaging to other workers in her own industry what she did. Like if people were stigmatizing the industry before, a lot of them sure are after this. The comments she's getting are a clear example of it. And yeah, while I am pro-s*x work, I do think what she did could constitute self-harm, or at the very least self-endangerment. I'm not saying she should be arrested or anything crazy like that, but she definitely should seek some kind of help. I also don't buy the whole "s*xual assault" nonsense about it. She gave them 5 minutes and some went over, yes, but clearly she was flexible about it and this type of situation is unprecedented to begin with. If they were there to harm her, they would've done so.

[@JohnDoe-k8p]

Maybe, but I would bet that in 2-3 Weeks no one remembers the Name or the documentary anymore

[@chelseashurmantine8153]

Yeah I think that if you have a negative view of sex industry then this would satisfy all your points, but agreed, she had an opportunity to take more control of the situation, if only surrounding stds. But doing it all in one day is another issue with the whole thing. It's just not healthy to have sex with 100 different, untested people in one day, that's literally not controversial, that's textbook risky behavior. Medically. But it's a medical risk she's allowed to make, but then she needs legal representation who is there to keep her and other participants safe before, during, and after a stunt like this.

[@Lybrel]

how is this unprecedented? there are thousands of similar examples from just this month. you could literally join in this in Times Square in the 70’s. and how is this more dangerous than 100 different times? and how does it stigmatize the industry at all? very overblown response to nothing big or new

[@sclassicallyme]

I have a cousin who was diagnosed with precocious puberty at nine years old. Had she not had access to puberty blockers she would have been left an adult in a nine year old body. This is the effed up thing behind these bans. It's gonna leave folks suffering despite their gender presentation, and that should not be an issue because bigots who at their heart are probably just insecure about what it would mean to their own sexuality off they were attracted to someone who had transitioned. We live in the worst timeline, and though I fear for my loved ones, I'm super glad I chose not to reproduce.

On the Hannah story, that's really messed up she was fine the whole time, not because she's safe, but because her father died trying to find her when she was in no real danger. It's messed up she didn't even let them know so that they wouldn't have to worry about her and now they lost a member of the family because of her secrecy.

[@strikezone3613]

In terms of the Lily Phillips situation, i feel like every opinion that has come from it in one way or another is a correct evaluation. It is simple situation on paper that was excecuted brashly by everyone involved.

[@Shadow11_]

All I can say for the Lily Philips story is just why? She can do whatever she wants but what was the point in sleeping with 100 men and NOW wanting to sleep with a thousand men? Just to be a record seems too dangerous because she already had issues with 100 men. Just thinking on what would happen with a thousand men to me seems like it could go much worse.

[@superEntity874]

When it comes to Hannah Kobayashi, I can understand waiting for things to flush out and answers to be found. But I'm of the opinion that the public is owed some answers for 2 reasons: her father is no longer with us, and the amount of tax payer money spent on what could very well been misunderstood and intentional life choice. I'm at a loss how to interpret the fathers passing, for this.

[@Whoisthisguyandwhydoeshetalk]

I feel like whether you’re a man or a woman having multiple partners 100+ is a sign of issues with your mental health. I worked with a young man (early 20’s) that was bragged about sleeping with 176 women. He had other signs he was dealing with mental health, including almost getting joy from hurting others feelings. Unfortunately, he ended up taking his own life less than 2 months later. Please everyone take care of yourself, watch for signs in others in your life or even share with others if you are dealing with mental health. I am open with everyone in my life, I’m never surprised that others are hurting as well and just want someone to listen.

[@napier9979]

I'm disgusted with Lilly's team. This should have been rigorously researched, prepared, structured, and RULES ENFORCED. Not following those simple protocols, that a professional in any field should know are monumentally important in any context, let alone sex, is not only irresponsible, but sexual exploitation at the least and sexual assault at the worst. She needs a better team of people around her who care about her well-being and not making a quick buck off of her. Well run ETHICAL porn shoots are run like the fucking navy with STI screenings, intimacy coordination, and breaks. The independence of OnlyFans creators doesn't meet those industry standards and puts everyone at risk.

[@Leedark3]

[@owensquelch449]

I really think there should be more focused on the men that didn’t follow the rules, sex is what you consent to any thing other than that is not sex and at minimum SA, and i really don’t see how anyone can argue against that when what she consented to is, well I don’t know if it was written down, but was told to each guy before they participated.

[@andrewyant2307]

It feels very frustrating to me that the people who decide whether or not trans people get care are politicians and judges who don't have the education that doctors do. Like the Hipocratic Oath says to first do no harm, so doctors aren't going to do anything that they think will harm a patient. These laws and rulings are so dehumanizing to trans people for no reason other than cruelty.

Sex work is work. Was what she did risky? Yes. This is why these platforms need regulation and compulsory medical education and checks to ensure events like this are safe and boundaries kept for everyone involved. But it truly isnt any different to any daredevil or escape artist stunt. If sex work stigma is removed then proper training and safeguards can more easily be put in place just like a stunt actor.
