Annie Knight Gives Update Amid Hospitalization for Sex With 583 Men : nottheonion

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.

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 defecating, not just hanging out there.

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

[-] sbv@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

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.

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.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

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

[-] brax@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

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

[-] reiterationstation@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

Jfc it’s just as bizarre as every other fucking cultures language on earth but I get it, it’s popular to shit on America while it’s fighting a civil war that was never declared. Easier than realizing this shit show is coming for you next.

[-] sbv@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

I'm not talking about the US, I'm talking about US Magazine. I've seen other US publications use "sex" to refer to sex.

[-] angstylittlecatboy@reddthat.com 5 points 1 week ago

The "Us" in "Us Magazine" isn't all caps

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

One fewer word/syllable.

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

[-] sbv@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Seconded.

[-] semperverus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

You mean to tell me that when someone says that they're taking a shit, it shouldn't mean literally turd burgaling?

[-] who@feddit.org 60 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Wow. I hope she recovers fully and quickly.

583 men in six hours.

That's about 37 seconds each.

[-] tomatoisaberry@lemmy.world 45 points 1 week ago

You're assuming one at a time.

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

[-] who@feddit.org 12 points 1 week ago

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

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

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Wow

Looks more like bullshit to me.

“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.”

[-] SarcasticMan@lemmy.world 50 points 1 week ago

“…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

Some people just built different I guess

Anything to help the children of Gaza.

[-] andybytes@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago

I can figure out what I find more gross. The man that participated in this... ...or the female. Just cause you can, doesn't mean you should. Talking about setting yourself apart. This country is nothing but spectacle.

[-] dickalan@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago

Does clutching pearls at other people‘s actions serve you well in life or are you just bantering here like a little Karen getting your pearls bunched up?

[-] sunglocto@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 1 week ago

the female

Go back

[-] prole 23 points 1 week ago

the female

Lol incel alert.

[-] Agrivar@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Have you ever seen a woman who was naked in front of you willingly?

[-] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 week ago

Ew, gross, an incel. Don't feed it it should go away.

[-] Bunbury@feddit.nl 8 points 1 week ago

What are the chances that one of the first 50 or so people had some kind of STD and this is just a mass-spreader event? What are the chances that she now has permanently damaged her health?

I’m fine with sex between consenting adults as long as it happens safely. I just don’t see how this could possibly have been safe. And even if (and that’s a big “if”) all of the participants got tested beforehand, what are the chances that the next person “inspired by” her will also do this safely?

[-] FundMECFSResearch 8 points 1 week ago

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

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Well alrighty then

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 7 points 1 week ago

Someone is going to feel sore everywhere for a while

[-] brax@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

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

[-] vomitaur@slrpnk.net 15 points 1 week ago

threatening unwanted physical harm against friends/acquaintences for any reason is morally bankrupt.

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

It is, isn't?

Let me concern about the outcome of my actions.

[-] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

Great, now apply that logic to other people

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

I am. And the very sad conclusion I'm forced to draw is that most people don't care enough about others to prevent unnecessary and easily preventable suffering.

Like the case at hand.

The woman ended in a hospital. Maybe - just maybe! - the men participating in the stunt should had stopped for a fraction of a second to think if they were enabling and causing unnecessary suffering.

Maybe.

I might be wrong.

[-] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

People are into some weird shit, some of it is dangerous and/or disgusting. They were all consenting adults and it's wrong to use violence to coerce them into behaving in ways that are less offensive to our sensibilities.

Maybe you should "concern about" your ability to form coherent sentences

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Is my poor domain of the english language that is most concerning to you? I'll be losing my sleep, tonight.

[-] prole 2 points 1 week ago

No, your inability to form a coherent thought was just easy to target. What I really don't like about you is that you apparently don't see women as independent human beings with their own thoughts and goals.
