Jolene Dawson, from Queensland, started making innocent YouTube videos about her 'awkward hook-ups' so she could have a laugh with her friends. But the year-old - who transitioned from male to female at the age of 19 - said the 'pressure' to find 'new and interesting sex stories' for her channel quickly escalated. As she found herself having sex up to 10 times in one day, the self-confessed sex addict revealed how she slept with about 90 men within six months. Speaking to Daily Mail Australia exclusively, Jolene - who was born male but now identifies as a woman - has told of how her pursuit of frequent hook-ups made her turn her life around to become celibate.

The doe-eyed, midriff-baring doll was dressed in cheap pink-and-black lingerie and looked as if she should be dancing round a pole.
