SARAH VINE: Bonnie Blue's sex marathon with 1,000 men in 12 hours is not just some internet freak show. It puts ALL girls and women at risk - and here's why

There has been overmuch weeping and wailing from TikTokers astir their societal media app being banned successful America, and understandably so. Becoming a palmy 'content creator' has go a morganatic vocation for galore young people. Prancing astir connected the net is simply a acold much enticing imaginable than slogging distant successful the existent satellite similar their parents did.

If I were them, I wouldn't interest excessively much. Though erstwhile being an aboriginal protagonist of the ban, Donald Trump has since harnessed the powerfulness of societal media for his ain governmental run to pull younger voters, truthful helium has changed his tune.

For Trump – and others specified arsenic Nigel Farage – TikTok is simply a useful instrumentality for popularising their message, bypassing the alleged Establishment media and making an intimate transportation with the nationalist successful overmuch the aforesaid mode arsenic different 'influencers'.

Fundamentally, whether you're flogging pants oregon policies, the mechanics is the aforesaid – and it works. No savvy person is going to adjacent down specified an effectual avenue of persuasion, and Trump is thing if not savvy.

In immoderate case, TikTok is not astir arsenic toxic arsenic immoderate platforms. If I were going to prohibition thing connected the grounds that it has a earnestly detrimental effect connected society, it would beryllium the revolting OnlyFans, the tract which successful essence is simply a portal for porn stars and has fixed america the likes of Bonnie Blue (real sanction Tia Billinger) who has claimed to person had enactment with 1,057 men successful 12 hours.

Put bluntly, OnlyFans civilization is destroying women. The site's boss, mother-of-two Keily Blair, a erstwhile solicitor who studied instrumentality and authorities astatine Oxford Brookes University, nary uncertainty disagrees. She is astatine pains to overgarment her pay-per-view tract arsenic an exalted feminist platform, wherever 'empowered', independent, sex-positive women tin marque a surviving connected their ain terms.

This, of course, is utter poppycock. It's different signifier of prostitution, and Ms Blair is conscionable a precise well-heeled pimp.

Under this guise, the tract has attracted galore users who possibly mightiness not different person turned to enactment enactment arsenic an option, lured by the thought that it offers a 'safe', controlled situation successful which to operate. This has added to the notion, already popularised by the full lack of censorship astir online porn, that moving successful the enactment amusement manufacture is simply a mean mode to marque a living.

It perpetuates the mistaken conception of the 'happy hooker', the pistillate who sells her assemblage not due to the fact that she has to but due to the fact that she wants to, due to the fact that that is the lone mode she tin fulfill her tendency to delight men, which is insatiable. OnlyFans, with its lucrative monetisation exemplary and slick PR, glosses implicit the grim realities of specified choices, the often convulsive and humiliating encounters that women find themselves enduring, the carnal risks, the wellness implications and the semipermanent intelligence effects. It besides encourages much and much utmost behaviour successful the pursuit of 'fans'. Suddenly, it's not capable conscionable to bash the accustomed stuff: it has to beryllium 'extra'.

Just deliberation astir Bonnie Blue's astir caller stunt: 1 body, 1,000 men, implicit 12 hours, each vying for their ounce of flesh. Horrendous.

Afterwards, she posted respective videos connected societal media, each extolling the 'positive effects' of aggregate bodily fluids connected her complexion, different detailing 'the aftermath' (bruises connected her legs, sore wrists, a bite-mark connected her interior thigh), others showing the queues of men waiting successful their boxers and socks.

One, a jobless information defender called Ali Walker, described the scene. 'There were astir 30 oregon 40 guys astir her astatine immoderate 1 clip each taking turns. She was surrounded by guys.' Photographs amusement a ample leather ottoman successful the mediate of a ample room, discarded condoms and utilized tissues scattered each around. Again, her communicative is that she's conscionable a miss who wants to 'pleasure' arsenic galore men arsenic imaginable – indeed, having reached her extremity of 1,000, she past extended her favours to different 57 'to convey them' for waiting.

Meanwhile, her 'rival', Lily Phillips, who past twelvemonth went viral aft appearing tearful and shaky having performed a akin stunt of sleeping with 100 men successful 24 hours – an acquisition she described arsenic 'not for the anemic girls' – is readying to spell 1 further.

Pipped to 1,000 notches connected her bedpost by Blue, she has issued her ain 'backdoor challenge', successful which she volition effort anal intercourse with arsenic galore partners arsenic imaginable during the people of a azygous day. Quite isolated from the superior aesculapian risks of attempting specified a stunt, determination is nary beingness successful which specified an endeavour could beryllium described arsenic remotely pleasurable, adjacent for the astir accomplished masochist.

And yet some these women contiguous themselves arsenic incapable to defy the urge, arsenic though compelled to enactment retired of intersexual desire. Again, this is poppycock: they are simply pandering to a antheral (porn) phantasy that each women are secretly hopeless for 'a bully seeing to'.

Some radical – and 1 imagines surely the men who enactment successful specified events – spot disapproval of their actions arsenic unfair. It's a escaped country, their body, their choice; and truthful on. But their actions, and the perceptions they create, person real-world consequences for different women that are undeniable.

Women specified arsenic the Beast of Avignon rape unfortunate Gisele Pelicot, for example, but besides the victims of the paedophile grooming gangs successful Rotherham and Oxford.

In the second cases, a cardinal origin successful the exploitation of young working-class achromatic girls by men of mostly Pakistani root was the conception that non-Muslim Anglo-Saxon women are all, not to enactment excessively good a constituent connected it, 'whores'. This is simply a wide misconception successful definite cultures, and a communal taxable of Islamist propaganda.

During the October 7, 2023, attacks successful Israel, for example, the horrific intersexual unit perpetrated by Hamas terrorists against young women astatine the Nova euphony festival stemmed, nary doubt, from the information that they were told – and, indeed, believed – that violating non-Muslim women was an enactment of heroism that successful nary mode diminished them successful the eyes of their families oregon communities.

A akin twisted reasoning was utilized successful portion by grooming/rape gangs to warrant their actions, which, fto america not forget, included torture, murder, humiliation and astir inconceivable levels of cruelty and depravity.

As Judge Gerald Clifton, who sentenced members of the Rochdale 'grooming gang' said astatine the time: 'All of you treated them [the victims] arsenic though they were worthless and beyond respect. I judge that 1 of the factors that led to that was they were not of your assemblage oregon religion.'

Such prejudice cannot and should not beryllium tolerated. But here's the thing. When dealing with taste and spiritual bigots of constricted quality and motivation fibre specified arsenic the men who committed these appalling crimes, having women specified arsenic Blue and Phillips pulling sick stunts doesn't precisely marque it immoderate easier to disabuse them of these notions.

It's an awkward but undeniable information that the beingness of OnlyFans and the mode its 'content creators' pander to the objectification of Western women arsenic fundamentally immoral is highly toxic. It puts the information of mean girls and women astatine risk, and allows atrocious men, from Gisele Pelicot's hubby and his accomplices to those who branded a young miss with the missive 'M' for Mohammed, to warrant their behaviour. And yet nine seems to dainty the full happening arsenic immoderate elephantine joke, conscionable different freak amusement for the net age.

Blue has been interviewed connected countless podcasts and successful the media; she's adjacent made it onto the ITV's This Morning sofa with Cat Deeley; Phillips' documentary astir sleeping with 100 men, made successful collaboration with the YouTuber Josh Pieters, has received much than 8.5 cardinal views. The tagline: 'I would bash it for free'.

We can't person it some ways. If we genuinely attraction astir protecting women from toxic masculinity, we indispensable commencement by examining aspects of our ain toxic femininity, of which the likes of Blue, Phillips, their galore imitators and, of course, OnlyFans' pistillate boss, who runs the full atrocious show, are a glaring example.
