OnlyFans model who sleeps with women insists she's not unfaithful to her fiancé
A bisexual OnlyFans model has revealed that she only sleeps with women out of respect for her fiancé – but insists she’s not being unfaithful. Karlee Grey, who has 1.65 million followers across Twitter and Instagram (@foreverkarleegrey ) has made a small fortune from the adult site, pulling in over six figures a year. And she’s made it a rule to only make content solo or with other women. The 29-year-old, who has been with her 33-year-old male fiancé, [not named at case study’s request] for six years, actually attributes her racy career to creating a healthier relationship between them. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Her partner even helps out with the model’s OnlyFans page since she joined in 2019, often taking photos and videos of her. "I only work with women and he's completely fine with that," Karlee told Jam Prime. "If anything, it's elevated us and made us explore a little bit more. "He even helps me sometimes with point-of-view filming, and he's my photographer, he takes my photos and edits a lot of my work – he's part of my team.” Karlee, who lives in California, US, says the pair avoid any jealous feelings about her work by making more time to get intimate together. For the couple, the conversation about sleeping solely with women happened naturally after her feelings for him deepened. She said: "There wasn't like a specific way that it was navigated, I personally didn't want to share my body with another male anymore. "Once I started loving someone so deeply, I just felt like I couldn't do that but with women, I'm always going to be attracted to them. "I don't know if I would ever necessarily date women relationship-wise but I'm always going to be sexually attracted and he's aware of that. "He says 'if you already don't want to do it with men then I don't mind if you do it with women' – it's sort of an outlet." For Karlee, who wants to make sure her fiancé is included in the fun, her work is a great way to invite other women to “share” him with her occasionally. And although the pair are careful not to bring women into their emotional relationship, once a year they “have a fun experience” with a third person. Despite her fun-loving demeanour, Karlee, who has been in the sex industry since 2014, is meticulous about who she works with, not only for her safety but also her pleasure. She added: "I personally love women, and I don't want to feel like I'm working with somebody that's not actually enjoying this. "I want to feel like if the cameras weren't on, you would still want to do it –I've only had a couple of bad experiences, mainly because I always choose women who I know really love women.” Have your say in our news democracy.

What is fezolinetant? The non-hormonal menopause treatment drug explained
The menopause treatment fezolinetant has been predicted as a “gamechanger” by experts for thousands of women who suffer from hot flushes. The drug, which is the first non-hormonal menopause treatment, was recently approved by America’s FDA. Experts are predicting it could be transformative for women for whom hormone replacement drugs (HRT) are not suitable. The drug was licensed in the US on 12 May and could be approved for use in the UK by the end of the year. According to a British Menopause Society survey, 79 per cent of women aged 45 to 65 experienced hot flushes as a result of their menopause transition, while 10 to 20 per cent describe the hot flushes as “near intolerable”. Here’s everything you need to know about fezolinetant: What is it used to treat? It works to target the menopause symptom of hot flushes. The drug that has been approved by the FDA is made by pharmaceutical company Astella, which advises patients to take one 45-milligram of its VEZOAH (fezolinetant) pill orally, once a day. A large clinical trial of fezolinetant published earlier this year revealed that, after 12 weeks of use, it reduced the frequency of hot flushes by about 60 per cent in women with moderate or severe symptoms, in comparison to a 45 per cent reduction in those who received a placebo. Women involved in the trial also said the drug reduced the severity of hot flushes and improved the quality of their sleep. How does it work? It works by blocking a brain protein called neurokinin-3, which plays a unique role in regulating body temperature in menopausal women. Respondents of the trial have said that the effects of the drug was experienced after taking the first tablet. By comparison, HRT, taken to alleviate menopausal symptoms, replaces the oestrogen that you lose during the menopause transition, either alone or in combination with a progestogen What are the side effects? According to the FDA, the most common side effects are abdominal pain, diarrhoea, insomnia, back pain, hot flush and elevated hepatic transaminases. What have experts said about it? “This is going to be a completely blockbuster drug,” said Prof Waljit Dhillo, an endocrinologist at Imperial College London who led a trial for the drug in 2017 toldThe Guardian. “It’s like a switch. Within a day or two the flushes go away. It’s unbelievable how well these drugs work. It’s going to be completely game changing for a lot of women.” Read More Adenomyosis: 5 things you need to know about the ‘evil twin sister’ of endometriosis ‘Suddenly, I saw Dad again’: The radical technology helping those living with dementia Naga Munchetty reveals womb condition adenomyosis: ‘I live every day on painkillers’
