Wow. I hope she recovers fully and quickly.

583 men in six hours.

That's about 37 seconds each.

You're assuming one at a time.

Question is the mean jerk time assuming the dtf is presorted.

[–] who@feddit.org 13 points 1 week ago

I think that's reasonable when when calculating an average.

It also assumes that men were the only other participants. ;)

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.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 41 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

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 dedicating, not just hanging out there.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

TIL I've been doing it wrong my whole life /s

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] herrvogel@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

The same turn of phrase exists in e.g. German.

[–] brax@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

I've always hated the saying. Clearly you're not sleeping if you're boning...

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

One fewer word/syllable.

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

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 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

This is the third name I've seen with a sex with hundreds of men title in the last month or so.

In this a new trend??? In which case ... I hate to be old school but wtf

[–] hypnicjerk@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

i assure you that group sex is not a new trend. it predates agriculture, civilization, and humanity itself.

those numbers would have been incredibly difficult to organize in the pre-internet era however.

[–] freeusething@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 1 week ago

Possible in the right park or movie theatre in the 60’s or 70’s….

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 25 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It is, and there's a handful of people trying to one-up each other.

With great financial success, I might add.

[–] SquiffSquiff@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

I think they might be trying for more than just one up

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

With great financial success, I might add.

Hopefully that hospital trip worth it.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

She's buying a house at 28, so possibly.

Besides, I've needed medical treatment for something that happened at work before.

[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I sprained my ankle playing soccer at a work-related event, I wouldn't put it in the same ball park as bleeding genitals, though

Someone is going to feel sore everywhere for a while

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Honestly i’m sorry but why do it if it hurts? Is it just for fame?

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

She's an OF model and this is her niche. It's literally her job.

Well alrighty then

[–] brax@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

Either she never read the book "Snuff" or she wanted to see if it would really happen...
