People say I'm setting women back, but they're mums relying on boyfriends or benefits says Bonnie Blue in shocking chat

'DON'T stand too close to me, you might catch something,' quips Bonnie Blue as we pose for pics.
As The Sun's Sexpert, there's not much that shocks me. I've been to swinging parties, witnessed 50-strong orgies and even taken part in an orgasm contest in New York.

You could say I'm unshockable, and I'd have agreed with you — until Bonnie burst on to the scene.
I've covered the industry long enough to know what's what, and I count porn stars, escorts and OnlyFans models as friends.
But such is Bonnie's determination to perform the most degrading stunts imaginable, she's a tough one to defend.
Her shock claim to fame —
She has even been branded as dangerous for women as toxic masculinity influencer
'I love sex with public'
So today, I'm sitting down with the 26-year-old to find out what really drives her — and maybe even get under her skin.
Readers will know that The Sun does not make a habit of interviewing porn stars. But Bonnie is more than that.
She is the disturbing reality of what happens when pornography and the world of 'influencers' collide, just as much a staple on the unregulated social media pages your kids scroll through as she is on adult sites.
Bonnie is riding a new wave of anything-goes promiscuity that's genuinely worrying — and that's coming from someone who has built a career on being 'sex positive'.
Real name Tia Billinger, she grew up in Draycott, a village between Derby and Nottingham, and was virtually unknown until she catapulted to fame in October last year.

People say I'm setting women back, but when I check their profiles, they're often stay-at-home mums relying on a boyfriend or benefits.

'I love having sex with the public and that is not going to stop. OnlyFans has tried to cancel me, but it's done the opposite.'
So does Bonnie think she's setting women back with such degrading behaviour, teaching young men that it's OK to treat them as objects?
'I say I'm not a feminist, but a lot of my views are,' she says. 'I believe in equality, women being in control and not feeling intimidated by men. I do what I want, when I want, and I feel safe doing it.
'People say I'm setting women back, but when I check their profiles, they're often stay-at-home mums relying on a boyfriend or benefits — and I think, hang on a second.'
Bonnie's controversial bonkfest during Nottingham Uni Freshers' Week, which saw her have sex with 150 18-year-olds — many of whom she claimed were virgins — made news.
But it was her stunt in January that really caused outcry, as she claimed to have slept with over 1,000 men in 12 hours, working out at less than 45 seconds per fella.

She later revealed she was left covered in bruises and bite marks from the sex marathon and issued a thank-you to 'all the barely legal, barely breathing and the husbands'.
One of the first things that strikes me about Bonnie is how tiny she is.
When I go to give her a hug, she's so delicate and pint-sized I worry I might crush her.
I can't help but think about her being thrown around in her infamous gang bangs and wonder how she wasn't seriously damaged.
I imagine my young kids — already exposed to social media — stumbling across her content and shudder.
I'd be heartbroken if my three-year-old daughter ever thought this was inspirational, and asked Bonnie what led her down this path.
'Everyone wants me to say I've been through something traumatic in my past,' she says. 'But it's not true. They just can't accept that I want to do this because I enjoy sex.'
I enjoy sex, too, but I find it hard to believe anyone could genuinely enjoy a 1,000-strong orgy. I ask her if she actually orgasms during these stunts and how her body felt the next day.
'Oh it's completely hit and miss,' she explains. 'Even in my personal sex life, I have to remind them how I like it.
"Most of these men are inexperienced, so I don't, but I enjoy giving them a good experience. My jaw hurt more than I did down there after the 1,000 challenge,' she adds nonchalantly.
'My legs were burning, too.'
Some guys were just lonely and wanted a conversation, other guys wanted me to strip down within 60 seconds with a sex toy inside of me.

Bonnie says she ordered a burger and watched Dexter on Netflix that evening as she was 'too excited to sleep', then treated herself to a massage and facial at a spa the next day.

Unlike Bonnie, Lily, from Derbyshire, claims the experience left her in tears — yet she still pledged to go a step further and sleep with 1,000 men in 24 hours.
But Bonnie nailed the challenge first — and in half the time. The pair previously made joint content, but Lily has since claimed their views 'don't quite align'.
Last month,
'His opinion is that women have fought for years to be in control and have their say and do what they want with their bodies. I do exactly that. So if that's the outcome, so be it.'
Like Andrew, she's a Marmite figure — loved by some, loathed by others — and receives hundreds of death threats a day online. 'Last time I went out by myself was six months ago,' she explains. 'It's not safe.'
It's hard not to find this incredibly sad. What's the point of making big money if you can't actually enjoy it?
'I want to be the best at what I do,' explains Bonnie. 'I'm not driven by material things and would rather be at home doing a puzzle than glammed up at a red carpet event.'
'Part-time nun'
When she's not filming controversial content, she spends her time fishing, surfing and doing jigsaws.
She says the only time she's been hurt was when someone uploaded a photo of her late grandad and falsely claimed he had sexually assaulted her.
'My family are getting double looks in the street,' she revealed. 'It made me realise the impact I was having on my family.'
So how did someone like Bonnie, who seems to have it all, end up here? 'Growing up, I loved dancing,' she explains.
'But you've got to have money to make it. All the big dance schools are in London and I couldn't even afford a train ticket there.'
Bonnie was studying midwifery before she dropped out of college and worked for the NHS doing recruitment finance.
She later moved to
'The move really helped me become a sex worker,' she recalls. 'It got me out of that small-town mindset where you're constantly comparing yourself to others.'
She was inspired by women on TikTok flaunting their sex work earnings and decided to give it a go. 'I wanted money, freedom and to feel in control,' she says.
Bonnie was racked with nerves before starting, but her ex-husband was her rock.
'My palms were sweating. I had no idea what I was doing — I didn't even know all the sex terms,' she recalls.
'I had a separate laptop next to me and any time someone asked something I didn't understand, I'd quickly Google it because I was too embarrassed to admit it.
They expect me to drop my pants because they're famous.

'Some guys were just lonely and wanted a conversation, other guys wanted me to strip down within 60 seconds with a sex toy inside of me.'
'We had sex three or four times a week after watching Netflix,' she recalls. 'My friends would say they had a threesome at the weekend and I'd say, 'Oh my God that's crazy. I'd never even had a one night stand.'
Bonnie separated from Ollie last year and their divorce will be finalised next month. 'I'll always love and care for my ex dearly,' she explains.
'But I didn't look at him in the end and think, 'Oh I want to have sex with you'. We became brother and sister in the end.'
Bonnie tells how big celebs slide into her DMs, but she's not interested.
'They expect me to drop my pants because they're famous' she laughs.
'But unless they'll film content and be identified, I'm not going to sleep with them. I'm like a part-time nun. I'm one extreme to the next.'
She would like to start dating, but it's not a priority.
'I've done what people think is happiness,' she says. 'Marriage, buying a house, a nice car, having money — and they didn't make me happy.'
I like Bonnie — she's witty and self-deprecating, cracking jokes at her own expense and clearly enjoys shocking people.
But I can't help wondering if it's her armour against the world.
As we talk, I wonder what her life will be like five years from now.
When her looks fade, will she have to go to even greater extremes for attention? 'If it doesn't make me happy, then I'll be the first to stop,' she explains. 'I'm in control.'
Bonnie tells me she hopes the documentary will shift public perception — not just of her, but of the men who sleep with her.
'I want people to know these men aren't disgusting,' she says. 'They're nice people.
'I'm also happy because everyone assumes that behind the cameras, I must be crying, upset or broken — but that's not the case.
'People think I must be sick in the head to enjoy this. But I'm living a life I'm incredibly grateful for. I feel very, very lucky.'
But at what cost?
1,000 Men And Me: The Bonnie Blue Story is on Channel 4 tomorrow at 10pm.
