Annie Knight, the 26-year-old Australian woman who made headlines last year for sleeping with 300 people, has an ambitious new goal for 2024 - to bed 600 lovers. In a surprising twist, her mother Karyn is voicing support for her daughter's erotic endeavor.
In an interview with Love Don't Judge, Ms. Knight revealed she recently informed her mother about her plan to double last year's tally. "You know what you're doing," her mother allegedly responded. "You're living life on your own terms, and maybe showing the world a woman can make her own choices," her mother told the New York Post.
The bisexual beauty has an Only Fans page where she posts racy content. In the article, she says maintaining sexual health is a priority. "I'm very safe because obviously with my work I have to be," she stated. "You can only film with creators when you're clean, we do full STI checks every two weeks and practice using protection."
The reaction to her prolific sexual activities has been polarized, according to Ms. Knight. "I've gotten all sorts of reactions," she admitted. "Some have been really supportive, but most people just judge me, saying I must be diseased, unsafe, and disgusting."
Knight isn't having any of the double standards when it comes to promiscuity between men and women. "How is a guy sleeping with five people in a day any different than a woman doing the same?" Men get praised as legends, but women get insulted and shamed for the exact same behavior. It's a terrible double standard.
Originally intending to reach 365 lovers in 2024, Ms. Knight says she had nearly hit that mark by June, prompting her to raise the target to 600. So far, she has slept with people from 11 different countries in her quest.
Reactions from sexual health experts and women's rights advocates have been mixed.
