Last night’s Channel 4 documentary about “Bonnie Blue” – performance artist and publicity-savvy provocateur – told us almost nothing that she didn’t want us to know.
The porn star, real name Tia Billinger, has built a life in which cameras surround her at all times: she’s far too well rehearsed to reveal much more to documentary-maker Victoria Silver other than a few pre-practised lines.
There is one, however – one all too revealing slip. Early on in 1,000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story, we’re shown footage of Blue preparing for her infamous 1057 men “gang bang”. (To hit her targets, only full penetration counts; participants average 40 seconds in the room; there’s a production line of men hardening themselves outside the door.) For most of this documentary, we’re being treated to Billinger’s repeated assurances that this is what she “enjoys”.
She keeps telling us this, even as she also complains that she’s “never had such bad flu in my life” immediately after sharing intimate encounters with a thousand strangers, which she seems to consider some kind of unfortunate coincidence.
Earlier, though, a member of her team had reassured her that they had stocks of numbing KY Jelly, provided to reduce feeling in her vagina. It’s often used to delay orgasm in men; here it’s on hand to take away her pain.
No doubt Billinger would dismiss my concern. She has built her Bonnie Blue brand on baiting women like me, as much as on the fantasies of teenage boys. Bonnie is here to tell men she’s on their side, not the side of killjoy women: “Don’t worry wives, this is proof your husband used protection,” she purrs as she pulls starfish shapes on a floor covered with used condoms. If you were to take the definition of a “pick-me girl” and run it to breaking point, this is it.
‘On camera, she insists that she’s the epitome of every feminist fight to escape the domestic sphere’ (Photo: Gilbert Flores/Getty Images)If there’s a villain in the story of this documentary, it’s the figure of the angry, older feminist, determined to ruin her business. In fact, we’re the ones filling her coffers. “The more women chat about me, the more husbands are going to search my name,” she tells Silver.
But Silver and Channel 4 have given her an almost unchallenged national platform to tell the world that women “owe” their husbands the type of sex she offers – “treat me like a slut”, she says repeatedly – so here we go round again.
If we’ve got Bonnie Blue wrong, she’s certainly got us wrong. On camera, she insists that she’s the epitome of every feminist fight to escape the domestic sphere – the enemies, repeatedly, are “stay at home” mums. “Are you a millionaire?”, she asks the imagined critic. Feminists, she insists, want her to “shut up, have a couple of kids, get married and stay quiet”.
No, Tia. We’d just like you to experience sex, for once, that isn’t about a bloke and his orgasm – sorry, “load”, as she prefers to call it. And if sex with strangers so repeatedly devolves into a degrading experience for the woman involved, it’s no wonder that increasing numbers of other women, casting our eyes askance at the excesses of the sexual revolution, would rather give it a pass.
Women deserve wider sexual choices than abstinence and dangerous promiscuity. But if this is modern sexuality, saving intimacy for monogamous and socially recognised relationships begins to look very appealing. Women from Generation Z are waiting longer to have their first full sexual experiences than most millennials. If the men in their lives expect them to act like Bonnie Blue, it’s not hard to see why. Her brand is about having sex with “real” men – as young as possible. At the heart of this is her promise that this is an initiation into “real” sex.

If older feminists insist on patronising the real Tia Billinger, it’s because we’ve seen it all before. Fifteen years ago, as a student, the lamest thing you could do was suggest that Katie Price might not be a happy role model. (Being a loser, I nonetheless suggested this regularly.) You’d be greeted by a knowing shake of the head: “don’t you know”, said every interlocutor, convinced of their own cleverness, “that she’s actually a very successful businesswoman?”
All these years on, and Price has now been declared bankrupt twice: last year, a court ordered her to keep working on the OnlyFans website, but direct 40 per cent of her revenues to her creditors. If life as a “successful businesswoman” means stripping on camera to pay off your debt, count me out.
Much of Silver’s documentary concerns Billinger’s own ongoing disputes with OnlyFans: she’s now trying out a rival platform, but says she’s incapable of establishing her own and fully controlling her content. (“I’m better at sucking dick than setting up a website”). Josh, her “live-in videographer and creative director”, constantly interrupts her; an all male-production team surrounds her; there’s much mention of the astronomical sums coming into her accounts, but no scrutiny of who is managing or investing in them.
Meanwhile, Blue opens a packet of lingerie sold under the brand name: LoveLace. It’s named for another “happy hooker”: Linda Lovelace, star of the 1972 porn film Deep Throat, the Bonnie Blue of her day. Fourteen years after insisting she was a willing participant, she retracted everything, declaring: “when you see the movie Deep Throat, you are watching me being raped”.
Is Bonnie Blue truly finding fulfilment? We have yet to know.
