Russell Brand has interviewed OnlyFans creator, Lily Phillips, about her sexploitations. There are serious allegations against him, but their conversation was full of Christian truth, says Eliza Bailey
Growing up in the 2000s, the received wisdom around sexuality was clear: If it feels good, do it. The kids of the noughties were the disciples of FHM and Sex and the City, where men and women were free to enjoy sex on equal terms, fully liberated from constraint.
Fast-forward 25 years, and the sexual landscape has undergone a serious reality check. Following #MeToo, the news cycle is replete with stories about powerful men abusing their position for sex. Most recently, rockstar Marilyn Manson and writer Neil Gaiman have been accused of engaging in exploitative sexual behaviour with much younger female fans. They both deny wrongdoing.
