Depending on what your online browsing habits are like, you may or may not be aware that Bonnie Blue recently claimed to have had sex with 1,057 men in a single day.
Blue, an OnlyFans model/performer, seriously one-upped fellow British adult star Lily Phillips, who engaged in a similar stunt with a comparatively small number of men — only 101 — earlier in 2024.
Now, Blue has earned the ire of Condoms UK when she admitted to not having used protection with the first partner she had out of the 1,057, thereby potentially putting the following 999 men at risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection — not to mention any partners they may have had thereafter — since some STIs, such as herpes and HPV, can be passed despite proper condom usage via skin to skin contact around the edges of the condom.
Though this is an extreme example, and there’s no proof that Blue’s first partner actually did pass on an STI to her or any of the other participants, it’s a useful reminder that safer sex is no joke, and that taking it seriously (or failing to do so) can have meaningful consequences.

It’s also a fascinating conversation to be having, because porn aficionados will tell you that Blue and Phillips’ unofficial competition is a very ’90s approach to porn. Starting 30 years ago, numerous female porn stars engaged in very similar exercises, competing to see who could sleep with the most men in one day as porn stunts — back when the only way to watch such a thing was on a VHS tape you purchased.
As the writer Ashley Ray explored in a December 2024 piece about the topic, the history of this kind of stunt goes back to at least 1995, when Annabel Chong had sex with 251 men in one sitting. The next year, Jasmin St. Claire topped her record by sleeping with 300. Two years later, a performer named Spantaneeus Xtasty nearly doubled that total, with 551; a year later, in 1999, the porn star Houston one-upped the record to a whopping 620 men.
However, Ray notes, these extreme events, whether you call them sex marathons or gang bangs or something else, are something of a case of diminishing returns — the most exciting part is often the concept; in practice, they’re rarely pleasant for either the performer or the legions of men who’ve arrived for a minute or two of her time, and the average viewer may be more likely to get bored watching them than to find the excess of male suitors especially thrilling.

Still, as Ray points out, humans seem hard-wired for competitiveness and doing things to extremes, whether that’s sex or something as mundane as watching sports: “It’s like the guy who watches 47 football games on the weekend,” said the president of the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality, Ted McIllvenna, in an interview in 1999 about Houston’s 620-man bonanza.
It’s sort of like Rule 34: Whatever the aspect of human behavior, someone, somewhere, is trying to do it to an extreme.
That’s where the question of logistics comes in, however. In order to safely have sex with three or four digits worth of partners in one day, you need some ground rules.
As Ray explores in her piece, the women challenging for the record in the mid to late ’90s may not have had the freedom that OnlyFans models have when it comes to shaping and directing their own careers, but they did benefit from working with porn production companies well-versed in things like talent booking, STI testing and so forth.
Had Blue been working with a well-oiled machine of a team to support her, the condomless slip-up may have been addressed before it became a scandalous talking point.
Similarly, though she only boasted one-tenth of Blue’s total, Phillips appears to have had a generally unpleasant experience from an emotional perspective, putting undue pressure on herself to satisfy each participant and ending up worn out by the end.

However fun, exciting or titillating it may sound in theory, doing something as intimate as sex with dozens and dozens of people in a short span of time with no privacy and little by way of breaks is not something a human being can manage without help.
OnlyFans and similar platforms may have given sex workers the ability to do things their way and make money more directly from their fans without being exploited by predatory label practices or unscrupulous or abusive industry bigwigs, but one way or another, such undertakings do require a team of professionals to pull off.
Though it’s hard to imagine anyone wanting to (or managing to) top Blue’s 1,057-man attempt, it is fascinating to see porn history repeating itself like this. Maybe 30 years from now, a new wave of sex workers will stun the world with even higher totals on as-yet-unforeseen new platforms for adult entertainment.
Until then, these recent stunts can serve as a reminder — that more isn’t always better, that going it alone may offer more freedom, but also less support, and that good ol’ condoms are still an important part of sexual health.
