Bonnie Blue shocked the internet when she announced her latest stunt, but is it scientifically possible? We speak to experts on the worrying implications such a physically and emotionally demanding event
Bonnie Blue claims to have broken a world record by sleeping with 1,057 men in 12 hours, but many critics have questioned whether it’s even possible.
The controversial adult star has openly admitted to using ‘rage-bait’ tactics to go viral, and her latest ‘challenge’ has sparked safety concerns – and confusion. In a TikTok video announcing the shocking feat, she claimed the “big 1,000” was “well and truly done”. It comes just days after fellow OnlyFans star Lily Phillips said she was ‘in training’ to hit the very same number in 24 hours.
Detailing the logistics behind such a “marathon”, Bonnie’s PR told The Sun: “She slept with 1,057 people. As she hit 1,000, there were still 57 left in the queue who Bonnie wanted to pleasure before ending the 12-hour day.” We spoke to psychosexual therapist and sex educator Natasha Silverman on the mental toll such an event could have, as well as whether it’s scientifically possible.
Despite Bonnie doing the extreme challenge for work and not pleasure, Natasha said it’s “unusual” for women to “naturally remain in a state of pleasurable sexual arousal for a 12 hour period.” She explained: “Having sex when no longer ‘turned on’ can be psychologically and physically painful and distressing, and increase the chances of sexual interactions becoming traumatic.”
There are 720 minutes in 12 hours, which means each man would have had less than 60 seconds with the star. Bonnie reflected on the aftermath of the extreme event in her own video and said: “It just feels like I’ve had a heavy day in the bedroom – which is exactly what I had.”
Delving into the science behind sex, Natasha said the female body physically changes when it’s aroused to help accommodate a penis, and to reduce the pain. She explained: “It does this by sending more blood and fluid to the area, engorging the clitoris, and doing something called ‘vaginal tenting’ which is where the vagina lengthens considerably, and the cervix moves ‘out of the way’.”
The expert added that without arousal or stimulation it’s “unlikely that a female body could stay in a state of arousal for very long at all.” Natasha said: “Even with adequate stimulation an extremely long sexual session would make a woman vulnerable to pain, tears, internal physical trauma or at the very least discomfort would be practically guaranteed, with sexually transmitted infections being a real risk. Lubricant is often necessary for women during far shorter sexual interactions to enhance arousal and decrease pain.”
The expert said that if Bonnie did sleep with 1,057 men in 12 hours, she may have used dissociation to cope. She explained that dissociation is a “coping mechanism” where the person may “disconnect” from their body or emotions as a way to protect themselves from discomfort, distress, anxiety, or emotional overload.
Natasha said when sex lasts for an extended period, or involves multiple partners, it can lead to feelings of being “out of control” or “detached” from the experience. And while some people might find out-of-body experiences “pleasurable” or even “transformative” others may find them “distressing”. It comes as other experts have warned that the current online landscape is encouraging sex workers to go to great lengths to succeed in reaching mass audiences, as it favours viral and shocking content.
And as these extreme OnlyFans stars continue to gain notoriety, there are grave fears that impressionable young people are getting a warped idea of what sex and relationships actually involve. Adult star Lily Phillips raised this issue herself in a recent documentary, remarking 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 warned: “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..”
Bonnie Blue addressed her critics in a previous interview with us, saying: “These women hating on me can’t seem to understand that some women do things other than stand in the kitchen and let their husbands pay the bills. They seem to have a big issue with that. But the more hate I get, the more it increases my bank balance.”
Of the backlash, Bonnie added: “I’ve received a lot of death threats. Some say, ‘I’m going to stamp your head in’, ‘I can’t wait to put you under the ground’, and ‘I hope you get tortured and kidnapped’. They think I’m the one in the wrong, however, what I’m doing is completely legal. They want to kill me – how am I the one that needs help?”
