I WILL never forget when I first met a pretty, blonde prostitute who was giving me the details of how she’d been paid to have sex with three famous men in one afternoon.
When I asked her if she was desperate for cash, had a brutal pimp breathing down her neck or a drug problem to feed, she laughed, looked me in the eye and said: “No, Jane, I just love f***ing.”
And as I got to know her, I realised she truly did.
During the “kiss and tell era”, I regularly worked with young porn stars, hookers and lap dancers who were just as enthusiastic, straight talking and fun as she was.
Others I met were forced into it.
There was the one whose vile pimp fed her heroin, another whose mum told her to make cash to feed her child, and the girl trafficked from abroad.
Seeing the story of Lily Phillips this week took me back to that time.
The OnlyFans star from Derbyshire is an “adult content creator” who, at just 23, set herself a challenge to sleep with 100 male fans in a day to make brilliant “content” for her page.
She said she’d “never fed 100 guys in a day . . . so why not?”.
Why not? Well, for so many reasons Lily.
Because strangers, young and old, with no criminal or medical checks, queued up and exploited you.
Without even paying for the “experience”. I can’t bring myself to describe it as “pleasure”.
Your “team” cashed in, but didn’t even explain some basic facts such as how you contract HIV.
(Shockingly, Lily says she didn’t actually know that sharing bodily fluids could spread the infection.)
But mainly because Lily will always now be known for that gruesome sexathon where men queued up to romp with her in a London Airbnb.
Before the event, Lily raved about what fun it would be.
Now, three months on, the truth has come out.
In a documentary about her “challenge”, she cries after completing it, saying she wouldn’t “recommend it”.
She was forced to “disassociate” herself from the “robotic” sex after about the 30th man, and says it was not “like normal sex at all”.
It is so sad to think she could even have expected it to be.
Lily may be “an adult content creator” — but in old-fashioned terms, it is plain old prostitution.
Vital life lesson
She is the same age now that the prostitute who “loved f***ing” was when we first met.
But that ex-hooker is now in her forties and, if you met her today, you would not have a clue about her past.
She has changed her surname, works in a shop and no longer discusses her sex life.
Porn stars I interviewed have followed suit.
Their only fear is an old VHS emerging.
And the lap dancers talk of their bar jobs at uni, when in reality they swung around a pole.
It is not that they necessarily feel ashamed of their past, but they have grown up, moved on and gone down a different route in life, so have eradicated it.
But Lily and others like Bonnie Blue — who boasted on This Morning that she sleeps with “barely legal 18-year-olds” — can never have that opportunity.
They may be making a fortune, but what they have done is there for everyone to see, for life.
Lily’s parents fear she may struggle to find the right man one day.
I don’t blame them.
No sensible, mature, loving fella wants a partner who has done something so extreme and boasted about it so publicly.
No boss does, either.
At 23, she may not realise that. But at 43, I am sure she will.
There is a younger generation coming through who are still obsessed with fame at any cost.
TikTok and OnlyFans alone tell us that.
I would urge the parents of those kids desperate to make clickbait content to sit down with them and watch her documentary.
It may give them a vital life lesson.
And it might actually be the most important piece of content they ever watch.
Lo blows exchanged in battle of Ben’s Jens
JENNIFER v Jennifer. It seems the gloves are off.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are growing closer.
The exes were pictured serving food to the homeless, spent Thanksgiving together and are filming near each other on Long Beach in California.
And the first Mrs Affleck posted one of her favourite mantras on Instagram last month, saying, “Don’t marry a man thinking you can change him”, which fans believe is a direct dig at the second Mrs Affleck, J-Lo, now Ben’s ex .
What fun! But the singer got her own back this week.
Two days after Garner and Ben were seen out together, J-Lo put on the sexiest of black sequin revenge dresses and posed in her kitchen for social media, saying: “My favourite part about going out is coming home for the midnight snack.”
Another dig at Garner, who actually hosts the Pretend Cooking Show on Instagram.
Ouch! Remember two other famous mantras, ladies – “Revenge is a dish best served cold” and “no man is worth it”.
Don’t let ’em hog TV
KEIRA KNIGHTLEY says she doesn’t want any more kids because she couldn’t watch any more Peppa Pig.
I am with Keira on Peppa – vile, bad-mannered, snorting little thing.
But Kiera has got kids’ TV all wrong.
One of the benefits of having kids is relaxing with them in front of the TV – you just have to steer them in the right direction.
Nick the control – you are in charge! I managed to steer my son right away from the pink porker towards the joy of Paddington, Pup Academy and Peter Rabbit.
And I could quite happily watch them when he isn’t even around.
Fighty fragrance
SO Donald Trump has launched a new aftershave.
It’ll cost $199, and apparently boasts “delicate floral notes and a burst of citrus”. Nice.
Mind you, I’m not sure I’d want the Geordie to smell like the Donald.
Either way, it’s no surprise the incoming US President has decided to call it “Fight, Fight, Fight”.
After all, “Trump” is hardly a great name for a fragrance, is it?
Law in order
I DO feel sympathy for Marcus Fakana, who faces spending Christmas in a hell-hole Dubai prison cell.
But I can’t understand those directing criticism towards the Arab state.
Marcus, 18, was arrested in Dubai for sleeping with a 17-year-old British girl he met on holiday in Dubai where sex with somebody aged under 18 is illegal.
He may not have known the rules, but that’s not a defence.
If a 16-year-old from Dubai came over to the UK, drove a car and smashed into someone, the police would rightly bang them up.
The courts in Dubai have every right to stand by the sentence they’ve dished out to the British teenager.
Upper Crust Kemi
I AM backing Sir Keir Starmer on this one, not Kemi Badenoch.
No, not politics. Sandwichgate.
On Wednesday, Mrs Badenoch said she did not believe that sandwiches were “real food”, with the Tory leader claiming that lunch breaks were “for wimps”.
She said she “would not touch bread if it’s moist”.
Instead, she said she would “sometimes” opt for a steak, which she would eat at her desk.
Lucky old her, eh. That’s shoving an extra £30 on the cost of your lunch.
Sir Keir’s official spokesman used her ridiculous comments to prove he’s a true man of the people who loves “a tuna sandwich, and occasionally a cheese toastie”.
Don’t we all, Keir.
Kemi, you’re a ridiculous snob.
Get yourself to M&S or Greggs and live like the common people.
You really don’t know what you’re missing out on.
Club phone ban
CLUBBERS in Manchester are being told to cover phone cameras – to stop them spending the night scrolling and snapping, instead of enjoying the music and atmosphere.
It’s sad kids have to be told to live in the moment.
But frankly, I am delighted my dodgier Nineties dance moves were never captured and put on social media.
Wrap stars
CHRISTMAS cards are so last year, according to John Lewis.
Sales are plummeting, the retailer says, with boxed cards down 23 per cent and individual ones down 15 per cent in recent years.
It’s little surprise, given the cost of stamps these days, that more and more people aren’t bothering.
But thankfully we all wrap presents, which is why The Sun on Sunday campaign this Christmas, where wrapping paper is being sold to buy presents for kids with cancer and to help research the disease, has been such a success.
The wrap has now all sold out online at The Works.
But I hope that the stores sell out too, so as much money as possible can go towards those kids who need it.
