Adult entertainer Annie Knight, known to her followers as “Australia’s most sexually active woman,” has spoken candidly about her headline-grabbing feat of sleeping with 583 men in a single day — and says she has no regrets. In fact, despite the public outrage, health complications, and skepticism surrounding the controversial event, the 28-year-old insists she would do it all again — even if there were no financial reward.
“I’d Do It All Again – Even for Free”: Adult Star Annie Knight Defends Her Viral 583-Men Bedroom Marathon Amid Backlash and Health Struggles
“It was a lot of fun. Genuinely pleasurable,” she told Mirror US. “I did it because I wanted to, and I enjoyed every minute of it. If I had to choose between doing it for free or not at all, I’d still choose to do it.”

A Record-Breaking Marathon — and a Personal Mission
The now-infamous event, which involved a highly organized back-to-back sexual relay with hundreds of consenting men, was a logistical and physical challenge Annie says she pursued both out of personal passion and professional ambition. Despite the jaw-dropping nature of the act, Annie maintains it wasn’t purely for the money.
“I absolutely love what I do,” she told TMZ in a pre-event interview. “Even if I won the lottery tomorrow, I would still be doing this. I find joy in it, and I’m proud of the work I do.”
But that doesn’t mean the payday was irrelevant. Annie acknowledges that the financial return on her efforts made the experience even sweeter. “Look, I could have done it for free — and honestly, I would have — but if I can do something I love and make hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions, why wouldn’t I?” she said.
From a Regular 9-to-5 to a Multi-Millionaire
Before her rise to fame, Annie lived what she calls a “normal life,” working a modest job that paid around $60,000 AUD per year. But everything changed when she began dabbling in adult content creation.
“It started as a side hustle — something low-key,” she shared. “I never imagined it would turn into this.” Her secret, however, didn’t stay hidden for long. After her employer discovered her involvement in the adult industry, she was let go.
Rather than seeing it as a setback, Annie took it as a sign. “That was the moment I realized I needed to go all in. And I did.” Today, she has earned over $6 million AUD (around $3.8 million USD) in just five years — a dramatic leap from her former income bracket.
She now owns four properties, including what she describes as her “dream home.”
Behind the Scenes of the 583-Men Challenge
Organizing the event was no small feat. Annie personally invested around $10,000 AUD to coordinate the massive production, which involved strict health and safety protocols, consent agreements, custom-branded condoms, and pink balaclavas to protect the identities of the participants.
“We had over 2,000 men register, but I honestly only expected a few hundred to actually turn up,” she said. “I was stunned when more than 500 showed up, ready and willing.”
The pink balaclavas weren’t just for fun — they were part of Annie’s strategy to maintain discretion for the men involved. “I wanted them to feel comfortable and protected,” she explained.
Despite the magnitude of the challenge, Annie says it wasn’t physically overwhelming. “I was surprised by how easy it was. I actually finished six times — that part was great!”
The Cost to Her Health — and the Medical Dismissal
Shortly after the event, however, Annie’s body began to show signs of distress. She was hospitalized, suffering from extreme bleeding, soreness, and exhaustion.
“My body just hit a wall,” she told Us Weekly. “It was raw, and I got a small cut. But what people don’t know is that the pain and bleeding started months before this event ever happened.”
Annie has been diagnosed with endometriosis, a painful and chronic condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. The symptoms — including abnormal bleeding and severe cramps — had worsened dramatically over time, and the challenge only seemed to exacerbate her condition.
What frustrated her the most wasn’t the physical pain, but the dismissive attitude of medical professionals.
“I begged doctors to help me,” she said. “I was crying on the phone, telling them, ‘I can’t live like this.’ And yet, they continued to dismiss it, blaming it on my IUD or just calling it ‘spotting.’ But I’d been in pain months before the IUD was even inserted.”
One specialist even performed exploratory surgery but found “nothing wrong.” Instead of further investigation, he sent her home.
“He referenced the 583-men challenge as if that explained everything,” Annie recalled. “He basically shrugged and said, ‘I don’t know what’s wrong with you.’ That was devastating.”
Facing the Backlash Head-On
Annie’s story — and especially the number associated with her challenge — has sparked massive backlash online. While her fans praise her confidence and honesty, critics have labeled her behavior as “immoral” and “degrading.”
“Lies, lies, and more lies,” read one comment. “No one is doing that for free.”
Others questioned her integrity and choices:
“Instead of getting an education, she chooses to disrespect herself and risk disease.”
“Never seen a generation so proud of their sins.”
But Annie remains unfazed.
“I honestly don’t care what people think,” she said. “That’s the reality of being in the public eye — not everyone is going to get it. But I have incredible friends, a supportive family, and a life I love. I wouldn’t trade any of it.”
What’s Next? Possibly More — With Men and Women
Despite her health setback, Annie is already thinking about what’s next. She said she’d be interested in recreating the challenge again, but this time with both men and women — though she admits the turnout may not be as high.
“I don’t think there’d be as much demand,” she said. “But it’s something I’d still love to try.”
She also expressed interest in collaborating with Bonnie Blue, another adult performer who once made headlines for bedding 1,057 men in a single day. “That’s definitely someone I’d want to partner with. It would be iconic.”
For now, Annie says she’s focusing on recovery. “I need to rest, take care of myself, and listen to my body. But I’ll bounce back. I always do.”
