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.

[KomoliRihyoh]

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!

[iannadevin]

The lily story is a reminder that reality and fantasy are not the same. Reality tends to break out fantasy; sometimes fantasy seems so good, till the reality happens and its not like what you have fantized.

Hey Phil, I just wanted to let you know that I miss the "sources" links that you used to put in the descriptions. It made it easier to look up the source of your story for the full information to share with friends/family.

[AustinWestbro]

“What if you get HIV?”
“Is that where it comes from?”
Holy shit she is not smart enough to pull this off safely

[NEPAAlchey]

I'm in the camp of why did she rush to do this at the cost of safety. It's not like there weren't enough men or a time limit? If she makes the money she claims she can afford a third party to vet them. Have an intimacy counselor from films onsite to manage people, etc. She put clout over her own safety

[Dim_Dams]

Didn't even know Hot Ones was owned by Buzzfeed

[cmdrmarz]

How does sleeping with 100 people in one day divide the internet, it should horrify everyone. Just the thought of it makes me nauseous.

[Changeling-hnhn]

What Lily Philips did was dangerous. End of story. She put herself at risk and was lucky that nothing else went wrong, and I seriously hope she reconsiders attempting it again.

[jamesallison]

Buzzfeed was already awful. Using AI to drive your content will (hopefully) be the final nail in its coffin

Doing Phil a favour: ✋😐
Doing Phil a flavour: ☝️😄

It seems like Lily acted impulsively with little planning and a lack of understanding of consequences, and her team enabled it. Even though we have no idea if she's mentally ill, I think as someone who's bipolar I can sympathize a lot with it, especially with her starting out almost giddy about it and then almost seeming traumatized from her actions at the end. People saying she acted completely in her right mind and made the logical decision to do it don't truly understand acting impulsively and being so fixated on an idea being literally incapable of being able to think through the consequences. I'm completely projecting though. Maybe she is just perfectly fine

[misterkite]

"Is that where it comes from?" Apparently the UK's sex ed is just as bad as America's.

[AbbreviatedReviews]

I'm glad to see Sean Evans will now have a real stake in the ownership of the show he's had such a large role in making so popular. His stomach lining may have long disintegrated, but now he's a big boss.

[diegonevarz]

The fact that Lily's team said that " she took it like a champ ", first, um no it sounds like she didn't have a fun time and even some of the participants had a bad time afterwards. Second, what a gross way to put it

[Vaska]

I’m still hung up on the fact that he had 1 MILLION dollars worth of things in his bedroom alone

[psychogremlin]

“I’ve been disappointed by too many people over the past two decades.” That is so real. I feel this so much. 😂

[hobbithabits]

Not only was it dangerous for Lily, it was dangerous for the men and their future partners as well. This all just feels incredibly stupid.

[brunocorbin]

About the Lily Philips situation, I think it speaks more broadly to our approach not just to pornography, but to spectacle and social interactions; which are both greatly influenced by our economic system. Competition, standing out, becoming “viral”… We’ve commodified our lives and this is pushing people to do things they wouldn’t normally do to the detriment of their physical and mental health in exchange for exposure and a sense of belonging.

[AW.]

"Not all the guys followed the rules" if they went beyond what she constented to, that is sexual assualt. Full stop. And she should be allowed to feel upset without yall calling her dumb
