Last week, a writer who seems to have taken leave of her senses said that she was a “tiny bit envious of Lily Phillips”. You might not know the name but you probably have heard about her recent antics and apologies for mentioning them here if you are still having your cornflakes. Lily Phillips is the porn star who recently had sex with 100 men in the space of 24 hours, a stunt she staged for her OnlyFans site. She is also currently setting the cause for women’s rights back by about 200,000 years.

This writer feels a “tiny bit envious” because Phillips refuses to feel guilty about her sexuality. Eh? Plenty, probably most in fact, women don’t feel guilty about their sexuality, but wouldn’t dream of engaging in such extreme and grotesque behaviour. When I was growing up I was always taught that prostitution was the last resort of the utterly desperate; and if you had a choice between cleaning loos or walking the streets you’d choose the former (not that there is anything wrong with cleaning loos, mind).

Lily is not the only one, either: where are these people’s mothers in all this degradation? And make no mistake: this is not about sex but money.

Phillips and others have been boasting about the huge amounts that they earn. But at what real cost? Even other “performers” on OnlyFans have issued warnings about the toll this kind of behaviour will take on them. Of course, what these women choose to do to themselves is their own business but what about the effect of society at large?

They are effectively telling young men that it’s OK to treat any young woman as an object to be sexually abused and they are telling young women that they are “creating content” for their websites, as if it’s a legitimate career choice.

They are also confirming the worst prejudices of another type of male, the ones from societies where women are treated with a complete lack of respect. In a recent interview Phillips said that after that 100-man sex marathon, she knew what prostitutes felt like.

Well, yes. Prostitutes sleep with men for money. What else does she think she is?
