OnlyFans star Lily Phillips, despite having a boyfriend, continues to engage in controversial sex acts. Her latest videos feature the 'money shot,' an act where men ejaculate on a woman's face, which many women find degrading and unpleasant.
What is the 'money shot'?
The 'money shot' is a staple in mainstream pornography, typically involving a man or multiple men ejaculating on a woman's face. In her recent content, Phillips is seen walking around a back garden in a striped t-shirt and red underwear, with semen covering her face. She even posted a picture with her boyfriend Sammy while still sporting other men's ejaculate, her eyes visibly red and irritated.
Social media reaction
The posts have garnered over 80,000 likes, but comments express concern. One user wrote, 'This is so harmful. Teenage girls are growing up with increasingly degrading content being presented as normal on mainstream platforms.' Others labelled the content 'grim' and 'disgusting.'
Phillips' history with the act
This is not the first time Phillips has promoted this act. Last year, she repeatedly filmed herself walking around streets with semen on her face, known as a 'cum walk.' These videos appeared on TikTok, with one reaching nearly five million views. PornHub features similar videos with four million views each, and an X account dedicated to these walks has nearly 300,000 followers.
Women's dislike for facials
Sex-positive ethical porn site Sssh.com, with 76% female viewership, reported that facial content is the second most hated sex act on the site. Users criticized it as 'overly performative' and expressed disinterest. One woman wrote, 'Facials are one of those things I could absolutely do without.'
On Reddit, women shared similar sentiments. One explained, 'I don't like it. If it gets anywhere near my eyes they ache and turn bloodshot for ages, plus I'm not super into the degradation aspect of it.' Another added, 'There's nothing sexy about that… it's degrading.' Some suggested it was simply 'porn style copying' while others found it 'kind of annoying.'
Expert perspective
Sex and relationship coach Courtney Boyer told Metro that many women dislike facials due to what they represent. 'For decades we've been sold a version of sex where the man's pleasure is the climax of the story, and the woman's body becomes the stage on which it is performed,' she said. 'It can feel like sex shifts from something being shared to something being done to them. Plenty of people enjoy it, but if it isn't rooted in mutual desire, it can leave women feeling more like an object than a participant.'
Some women enjoy it
However, some women do enjoy facials, provided consent is clear. One Reddit user wrote, 'As a girl, I find it really hot, but it might be because of my degrading kink.' Another said, 'As a woman who deeply enjoys them, I think it's a “marking their territory” thing that really does it for me.'
Impact of porn on expectations
Lovehoney research shows that 23% of men learn most about sex from porn, fostering misconceptions. Boyer explained, 'Porn has shaped many people's expectations, often without them realising it. When an act repeatedly appears as a symbol of dominance, ownership, or conquest, it's understandable some women associate it with humiliation rather than pleasure.'
Ultimately, Boyer emphasized that the key is mutual desire. 'The most satisfying sex isn't the sex that looks the hottest. It's the sex where both people feel equally desired, equally respected, and equally free to say yes, or no.'
