The dangers of extreme anal sex, as Lily Phillips announces ‘backdoor’ challenge
Share:
On Tuesday January 21, Lily Phillips will be having anal sex with ‘as many guys as possible’. Speaking in a video, she said: ‘I’m having sex with as many guys as possible in my backdoor. Will you be there?’. This comes after her fellow OnlyFans star Bonnie Blue broke a world record by having sex with 1,057 men in a day – a task Lily had been planning herself.

In what looks set to be a dangerous game of oneupmanship, the two adult content creators are continuing to set themselves so-called ‘sex challenges’, each more extreme than the last. Anal sex can, of course, be totally safe, and in recent decades has more than doubled in popularity among young heterosexual couples, according to The National Survey of Sexual Attitudes.

But Lily’s challenge is taking the practice to the extremes, and could have serious long-term health implications for both her physical and mental health. You don’t have to go as far as her to experience consequences either, which is why education about what the body can handle is so important.

NHS doctor Deborah Lee, who specialises in sexual health, tells Metro: ‘Just because you can’t physically see the risk doesn’t mean it isn’t there. As a young person, you could well damage your future life irrevocably and there is no going back.’.

When trying anal sex, Dr Lee says that all partners should have a full STI screening, use a different condom for each partner and lots of lubrication. ‘I would also recommend you go to the Sexual Health Clinic and have a full STI screen 10 to 14 days afterwards,’ she adds. ‘Anyone having frequent anal sex should be immunised against hepatitis B.’.
