Doctors have hit out against X-rated content creator Bonnie Blue for encouraging extreme sexual behaviours that could result in intimate health problems.
Former NHS GP and gynaecological specialist Dr Shirin Lakhani has warned that sex sessions lasting ‘hours on end’ — as Blue claims to enjoy — risk tears in vaginal tissue, urine infections and even a permanent disfigurement of the penis.
Bonnie Blue, a 25 year-old adult content creator, has stunned the internet by admitting she advertises sexual services for students.
The OnlyFans star, who has 135,000 Instagram followers, claimed to have visited college campuses across the UK, the US and Australia, where she’d sleep with multiple men in one day.
She claimed to have bedded 158 men in two weeks as part of her Nottingham Trent University visit.
The greatest number of men she’s slept with in one day is 22, which took place during an 11-hour sex session, she admitted during a podcast interview.
Social media users have accused her of ‘prostitution’, while some have called those who invite her on to their podcasts ‘a disgrace to feminism’.
Bonnie Blue, 25, from Nottingham, has sparked outrage with her outlandish attitude to casual sex.
X-rated content creator Bonnie Blue claimed to have slept with 22 men in one night during an 11-hour sex session.
Most recently, Australians have launched a petition to ban the influencer from entering the country — where she currently lives — to stop her controversial plans to film sex with ‘barely legal 18-year-olds’.
While exactly how much is harmful depends on age and natural levels of lubrication, going at it for 11-hours straight is ‘definitely too much,’ according to Dr Shirin Lakhani, a GP who specialises in gynaecological health.
She warns of many little-know risks of lengthy bonking sessions ‘with no breaks in between’, including painful tears, strains, reduced sensation in the gentials, and even a fractured penis.
‘Everytime you have intercourse, both the penis and the vaginal tissues will be subjected to friction,’ says Dr Lakhani.
‘As the friction builds up, both men and women are likely to experience pain.’
It may take less time for women to suffer painful consequences, such as breaks in the sensitive genital tissue — and urinary tract infections (UTIs), according to the GP.
UTIs occur when bacteria — usually from the back passage — contaminate the tube through which urine exists the body.
Doctors say sexually active people must take breaks between intercourse to reduce the risk of tears and fractures.
Women are more than 30 times more likely than men to contract UTIs, studies show, because their tube, called the urethra, is shorter.
‘You can also get diminished sensation in the genitals after a while because of over-stimulation,’ warns Dr Lakhani.
The most extreme consequence of too much sex affects men, she says. ‘It’s also possible to fracture the penis after excessive sex, particularly if the activity is strenuous.’
She explains that this happens when the delicate blood vessels inside the penis break due to ‘traumatic’ injury. Over time, scar tissue can build-up in the sex organ, causing it to bend when erect, known as Peyronie’s Disease.
Researchers have echoed Dr Lakhani’s concerns about extremely long sessions of sexual activity.
According to one 2005 survey of 50 sex experts — including psychologists, doctors and marriage therapists — the ‘ideal’ length of intercourse is between seven to 13 minutes.
The category of 10-30 minutes was voted by most therapists as being ‘too long’.
Dr Lakhani is keen to highlight the biggest risk associated with extreme sexual behaviour like that of Bonnie Blue’s.
‘I hope she used protection with all those men,’ she said. ‘Clearly there’s a huge risk of sexually transmitted infections.’
As well as the risk of well-known sexually transmitted infections like chlamydia and gonorrhoea, unprotected sex can dramatic fuel the risk of contracting Human papillomavirus (HPV) — which is the cause of 70 per cent of throat cancers, and 99 per cent of cervical cancers.
