    Wow. I hope she recovers fully and quickly.

    583 men in six hours.

    That’s about 37 seconds each.

    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.

      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.

        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.

          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.

      One fewer word/syllable.

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

      You mean to tell me that when someone says that they’re taking a shit, it shouldn’t mean literally turd burgaling?

      Jfc it’s just as bizarre as every other fucking cultures language on earth but I get it, it’s popular to shit on America while it’s fighting a civil war that was never declared. Easier than realizing this shit show is coming for you next.

    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.”

      I think that pretty much sums up a big part of America’s problem right there lol

    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?

      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.

        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.

    How does that work? I usually take 2 to 4 hours, how are all the other men supposed to fit in, in only 6 hours?

    Or is it literally sleeping? Because I’ve been to a 80.000 people festival, there have been several thousand sleeping at the same time I was sleeping, so my track record is better then hers.
