Wow. I hope she recovers fully and quickly.

583 men in six hours.

That's about 37 seconds each.

You're assuming one at a time.

Question is the mean jerk time assuming the dtf is presorted.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

I think that's reasonable when when calculating an average.

It also assumes that men were the only other participants. ;)

OnlyFans star Annie Knight is sharing an update amid her recent hospitalization after sleeping with 583 men in six hours.

It's bizarre that US uses "sleeping with" to mean "had sex with". Readers clearly understand, she uses the word "sex" in her quotes, but the magazine/site insists on using that bizarre euphemism.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

I don't think that that's very uncommon. When one "goes to the bathroom", it's understood that this is a euphemism for urinating or defecating, not just hanging out there.

TIL I've been doing it wrong my whole life /s

[–] sbv 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Agreed. It just seems like a weird editorial decision. Maybe it's because I'm not a regular US reader, or I live in a different country, but it seems to slightly obfuscate what happened.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

You're looking way too deep into it. "Sleeping with someone" is such a common expression that nobody can possibly hope to obfuscate anything with it. Everybody knows they fucked. There will be no mistakes, no confusion. Besides, it's not unusual for different contexts to use different phrases and expressions for the same thing. The press using a "softer" language is not a uniquely American thing by a long shot and it's kinda weird to assume it would be.

Not an American either btw.

The same turn of phrase exists in e.g. German.

[–] brax 9 points 1 month ago

I've always hated the saying. Clearly you're not sleeping if you're boning...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

One fewer word/syllable.

I think they should pare it down further though, and just say 'fucking'

I love the euphemism that she "slept with" 583 guys. I mean that's a lotta naps in 6 hours! Takes me at least 20 minutes to drift off.

“I don’t understand why people have such an issue with it. These guys are just out here living life. They’ve been given an opportunity, and they’re like, ‘F*** it. Like, let’s just do it.’ They’re just having some fun. I think the people that are hating [are] probably just jealous, and their lives are really boring …I mean, the more they hate on me, the more views I get, and the more money I make.”

This is the third name I've seen with a sex with hundreds of men title in the last month or so.

In this a new trend??? In which case ... I hate to be old school but wtf

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i assure you that group sex is not a new trend. it predates agriculture, civilization, and humanity itself.

those numbers would have been incredibly difficult to organize in the pre-internet era however.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Possible in the right park or movie theatre in the 60’s or 70’s….

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It is, and there's a handful of people trying to one-up each other.

With great financial success, I might add.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

I think they might be trying for more than just one up

[–] pastermil 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

With great financial success, I might add.

Hopefully that hospital trip worth it.

She's buying a house at 28, so possibly.

Besides, I've needed medical treatment for something that happened at work before.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I sprained my ankle playing soccer at a work-related event, I wouldn't put it in the same ball park as bleeding genitals, though

Honestly i’m sorry but why do it if it hurts? Is it just for fame?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

She's an OF model and this is her niche. It's literally her job.

Either she never read the book "Snuff" or she wanted to see if it would really happen...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What are the chances that one of the first 50 or so people had some kind of STD and this is just a mass-spreader event? What are the chances that she now has permanently damaged her health?

I’m fine with sex between consenting adults as long as it happens safely. I just don’t see how this could possibly have been safe. And even if (and that’s a big “if”) all of the participants got tested beforehand, what are the chances that the next person “inspired by” her will also do this safely?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Typically professionals do ensure all their partners are tested beforehand.

what are the chances that the next person “inspired by” her will also do this safely?

Puritanical hand wringing. Tons of people have unsafe sex every day. If you want to lower STI spread, create public awareness campaigns and improve sex ed for students.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I hope you’re right about the testing. Wish it said in the article. Also more sex ed is always a good idea.

Sadly I don’t think you’re wrong about the puritanical bit. I didn’t think I was but the idea of this many sexual partners in this short a time does make me uncomfortable. Definitely gave me something to think about and maybe uncovered some bias worth working on.
