Former porn star Katy Bampton has reached out to her friend Bonnie Blue after her recent world record-breaking sex session with over 1,000 men, telling Bonnie: ‘I’m here for you, Bonnie, I can help you heal when this is over.’
Katy, who grew up in North Wales, but now lives on the island of Koh Samui in Thailand, performed in a sex video with Bonnie and another man at the end of 2023 – and says they’ve been close ever since.
But after seeing the latest news and images of Bonnie’s record-breaking sex session in central London, Katy says she fears the stunt will end badly for her.
Katy, 32, said: ‘I know this is something Bonnie’s wanted to do for a while, and as a former professional athlete myself, I can understand how being the absolute best can be all you want – but having worked in the porn industry for years and come out the other side, I also know there will be real costs to Bonnie’s wellbeing.’
‘Having sex with over 1,000 strangers, it’ll create a massive disconnect between her mental wellbeing and her body, the trauma and negative energy from this will become embedded in her, particularly in the tissues around her pelvis.
‘It’s likely that in a couple of years she’ll realise the impact this has had on her feelings of self-worth, her confidence, her ability to maintain a meaningful relationship – and I want her to know I’ll be there for her when that happens. I can help her heal.’
Like Bonnie, Katy earned a six-figure income from her adult videos, but just over a year ago decided she wanted to leave the industry to set up a wellbeing business to help women overcome sexual trauma and ‘achieve real, meaningful relationships – and orgasms’.

‘Apart from Bonnie’s wellbeing, I’m really worried about the message this will send to other young people out there about sex, especially young girls who are thinking about doing Onlyfans videos to make what can seem to be easy money,’ Katy said.
‘Sex with a stranger can lead to depression, anxiety, your body and nervous system become broken and frazzled – it can lead to a fear of intimacy, not knowing who you really are.
‘Your body stores all those emotions until you have this moment of self-realisation that you’re deeply unhappy and can’t forge meaningful relationships.’
‘Believe me, I’ve been there!’
Katy says the idea that ‘random sex is fun, it can lead to happiness, it’s just…wrong’.
‘Onlyfans has created this massive industry which simply didn’t exist before, with hundreds of women who’ve made a load of money, but lost sight of who they are,’ she said.
‘Then, when they want to get out, they can’t. They don’t know anything else, and men don’t accept their past life.’
She says the women doing the videos now are getting younger and younger – and worries they don’t know what they’re going into.

‘Bonnie always seemed to me to be really balanced, grounded, with-it, and I’m so worried about her now.
‘This mad competition that’s started between her Lilly Phillips, it’s sending out all the wrong messages.
‘I simply can’t imagine that having sex with over 1,000 men back-to-back can have been enjoyable.’
Katy, who admits to sleeping with over 75 partners – male and female – says she was friends with ‘the majority’ of them beforehand.
‘There was almost always some friendship there to start with, some degree of trust and a relationship of sorts, but towards the end I just didn’t want it anymore – I craved meaningful sex, a family, all that stuff you don’t envisage wanting when you’re younger.’
‘The whole Onlyfans world is so fake, women faking orgasms, everyone faking being happy, I just wanted out.’
Now devoutly celibate, Katy was born and brought up in North Wales before leaving the UK for France at the age of 18, where she qualified as a personal trainer.
In 2018 she then moved to Australia’s Gold Coast, for the climate and to focus on her sports, become a professional cross fit athlete.

Also gaining qualifications as a nursery worker, it was in 2021 while babysitting for a couple that she was invited to her first swingers’ party – where she met Australian porn star ‘Robbie Oz’, the two quickly becoming a couple and getting married.
‘Before I knew it, I was going to drug-fuelled swinging parties, then started acting in the videos myself,’ she said.
‘It was a whirlwind, I don’t quite know how a kindergarten worker like me became a porn actor, but at the time it felt like a blast, the best time ever.’
The couple soon tied the knot and then become a celebrity sex couple – making over £50,000 a month from their racy videos, with close to 100,000 social media followers.
It was then that she and fellow Brit Bonnie crossed paths.
‘It’s a small industry, and we got on really well,’ Katy said. ‘After we made the video, we went for drinks a few times, swapped numbers and kept in touch.
‘Bonnie seemed really grounded, really with-it, and I loved having her as a friend. I’d regularly ask how she was doing, what she was up to.’
But it was a few months after making the X-rated video with Bonnie, Katy says she had an ‘epiphany’.

Katy became fed up with the porn industry and left ex-husband Robbie Oz just over a year ago. After her relationship ended, she decided to spend six months celibate and sober in a spiritual retreat in the Thai jungle
‘I loved the ride, the buzz, Rob was and is a very special person, but just over a year ago I had this sudden clarity that I’d lost myself, my mind, my soul,’ she said.
‘It had been coming for a while – I thought there has to be more to life than making porn videos and living in a Playboy mansion.’
‘I told Rob I’m done with this, packed my bags and left.’
Having ‘fallen into the porn industry without really thinking’, Katy had decided to spend six months celibate and sober at a spiritual retreat in the Thai jungle.
‘I basically did a whole bunch of woo-woo modalities, cleansing and healing my body from all my previous sexual interactions,’ she said.
‘I already had a pretty good grounding in a lot of the practices there, like breathworks and Pilates, but I added in things like ‘yoni streaming’, an ancient Egyptian practice where you boil water with herbs to cleanse your vagina.
‘It’s been used for centuries to help women recover after childbirth, after their periods, to help with period pains – I basically wanted a completely fresh start, inside and out.’
With traditional Thai medicine and the help of a shaman, every day she meditated and refocused on her next path.

She is now qualified as a somatic sexologist and is focused on helping women and couples connect with their sexual energy and strengthen their relationships
‘While I’d spent my days with Rob creating the hundreds of films we made for online, with live sex demonstrations, I used any spare time studying sexology through the Institute of New Paradigm Intimacy,’ she said.
‘After about a year, I qualified as a somatic sexologist, helping women and couples connect with their sexual energy and the emotions of their body to achieve stronger relationships and real orgasms, not the fake nonsense you see on places like Pornhub.
‘I wanted to create something real and meaningful from my experiences – but as a trained educator, I wanted to help people sexually become happier, better, stronger.’
When she came out of her retreat, Katy had a plan – run online workshops, couples retreats, even one-to-one sessions through her ‘School of Sensuality’ – a ‘place and platform where women can build relationships with themselves and their bodies’.
‘I cover topics like having a low libido, a fear of intimacy, getting over sexual trauma, fear of men, confidence while dating – and for those couples who are in a happy relationship, I teach them how to have the most incredible, genuine, loving sex.
‘I mean, I’ve had 75 partners, I’ve been married to a massive international porn star, I’ve seen enough to know what works and what doesn’t.’
She and Rob both now live in Koh Samui, but live separately – Katy insisting they remain very good friends, despite no longer being compatible as a married couple.
‘Rob’s very proud of me, and we had a great time together, but people evolve, you learn, adapt, change,’ she said. ‘Rob’s moved across into managing OnlyFans models, so he’s found a new path, too, we’ve both found a new passion, which is great.’
