It prohibits garments that expose the under-curves of the breasts, buttock cleavage, or excessive skin in the genital area.
Who is Bianca Censori?

When half the world turned their backs on me and the most amazing stepmom to our children. I love you so much thank you for sharing your life with me.”

It’s theoretically possible but unlikely she’ll face any criminal prosecution for this incident.”

100 Men in 14 Hours?! OnlyFans Star Lily Phillips’ Wild ‘Backdoor Challenge’ Goes Viral
An adult content creator and OnlyFans model Lily Phillips has been in the headlines after she announced that she completed a challenge of sleeping with 101 men in 14 hours. This was followed by her announcement of planning to sleep with 1,000 men in 24 hours.
Recently, Lily Phillips announced a more concerning challenge which she is calling the “backdoor challenge”. This refers to having an*I s*x with as many guys as possible on 20 January 2025.
Who is Lily Phillips?
Lily Phillips is an adult star from Derbyshire. She is the girl who went viral on TikTok after sleeping with 101 men in one day. She was featured in the YouTuber Josh Pieters’s documentary about the experience, I Slept With 100 Men in One Day. Lily Phillips described the experience as “intense” in the documentary and was unsure if she would ever do it again.
What is Lily Phillips’ Backdoor Challenge?
Lily Phillips announced this challenge after Bonnie Blue’s world record where she slept with 1,057 men in just 12 hours. Lily announced she would be having an*I s*x with as many guys as possible.
This has raised concerns about her health and even Lily has admitted that something could happen. Lily said she was on Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) which is a medication to reduce the risk of HIV.
She said “Stuff can go wrong, it’s a con of being in our industry. I make sure everyone is tested but if someone tests the week before and then has sex in between it’s something I can’t really stop.”
When asked about her backdoor challenge, Lily Phillips said, “I’ll probably stop eating, I also wear a butt plug for quite a while the day before, and then the morning of I’m douching quite a few times, making sure everything’s cleaned out. Then I usually go in with toys and really stretch it out quite a bit.”
Lily Phillips also gave an interview to The News Movement and said “I am taking PrEP to prepare for my upcoming a**l challenge, but the risk of STIs is just the nature of my job. PrEP is a drug that reduces the risk of getting HIV. It can be taken by anyone but is commonly taken by men who have sex with other men due to the increased risk of contracting HIV through a**l s*x. My upcoming challenge will include filming myself having a**l s*x with around 60 people. This is a follow-up to my “100 men in a day challenge” and Bonnie Blue’s 1000 men in 12 hours ‘world record’.”
