OnlyFans’ Lily Phillips says her time as a Uni of Sheffield student inspired her career

‘I was a bit of a sl** at university, and I thought why not try and profit off that a little bit?’


OnlyFans star, Lily Phillips, has spoken out about how her time as a student at the University of Sheffield inspired her career.

The 23-year-old studied nutrition, as well as a foundation year in business, at the institution during the Covid-19 pandemic.

On a podcast episode by RTM Records, Lily said she was sexually liberal at university before deciding to sign up to OnlyFans.

Talking about how her time at uni inspired her, she said: “I was a bit of a sl** at university, and I thought why not try and profit off that a little bit?”

She also admitted that she started her career because she wasn’t going to lectures due to coronavirus restrictions, so thought: “Why not?”

Lily continued by saying: “I don’t think I made it to one lecture.

“I was trying to log onto a Zoom lecture because it was Covid-y times, and couldn’t log on so I thought: ‘Fuck it, I’m going to do Only Fans’.”

One of the interviewers, Trina, asked if the decision was spontaneous, to which Lily replied: “Well, I’d been thinking about it for a while and I’d been promiscuous anyway, so I was like: ‘Yeah, why not do it?’

“And to be honest, I didn’t think I was going to make money off it, this was like four, five years ago now so it wasn’t what it is today. I just thought: ‘You know I might just be able to get a round of drinks in at university’. I didn’t think it was going to become all this.”

Lily also spoke about the type of content she made at the beginning of her OnlyFans journey, saying she started out “quite tame”, wearing lingerie for her videos but admitted “it definitely progressed through the years.”

The Daily Mail also spoke to Lily about her time at university, in which she claimed she made £2,000 in her first month, which she said made her want to create more content on the site.

She added: “I was sort of selling sex to guys on my nights out without making any money, so I thought I might as well charge for it.

“I was at university and already being such a ‘sluzza’ so I thought, why don’t I try OnlyFans and make a bit of money on the side?”

Lily has been widely-spoken about recently following a YouTube documentary in which she delved into her experience of sleeping with 100 men in one night.

In the 47-minute long video, there’s a countdown to the event, the day itself, and then the “aftermath”.

During the aftermath, Lily is reduced to tears after sleeping with the men, however, claims she’s aiming to have sex with 1,000 men in a day for a future challenge. This will be a world record breaking event, if she succeeds.
