The Cock Destroyers were a pornographic double act comprising Sophie Anderson and Rebecca More. After meeting after being hired to engage in a burglary scene and sexual intercourse, the pair filmed a video in October 2018 requesting clientele for group sex, which went viral a few weeks later and then again in March 2019 after being sampled in a King Princess track. They went on to feature in A Tale of Two Cock Destroyers and Slag Wars: The Next Destroyer for Men.com and inspired the Frock Destroyers, who became the first drag girl band to enter the UK Top 40. Anderson and More parted ways in 2021.

Career

Formation and "We're Cock Destroyers"

Sophie Anderson and Rebecca More, two pseudonymous pornographic actresses who had independently entered the sex industry via escorting and webcamming, met each other after being hired to act out a burglary scene and engage in sexual intercourse. After bonding over their shared looks and libido, the pair began performing together in twice daily group sex with paying customers. In October 2018, after finishing a session with several clients including chief executive officers, doctors, and a police officer and finding that they lacked clients for the following morning, a scantily clad More and Anderson filmed a video in their hotel room calling out for clients. The video depicted More describing the pair as "fucking cock destroyers" and Anderson describing the pair as "cock fucking destroyers". Conor Williams of Interview wrote that the pair's "heavy British accents and accompanying lewd gestures len the clip a bombastic theatricality".

Uploaded to More's Twitter account, the video went viral a few weeks later, particularly amongst that platform's gay community, from which More already had many followers. The video's popularity among that market segment has been attributed to the pair's attitude to sex mirroring that of some queer men. The Cock Destroyers went viral during a period in which memes of pornography were popular, with clips of Cock Destroyers saying "I’m too expensive for you" and "it will be a small fee to pay, but I’m sure you won’t mind" going viral around the same time. In March 2019, King Princess uploaded a track named after and sampling the pair followed by a 48-second clip containing the track and several cocks, prompting the original video to go viral again.

A Tale of Two Cock Destroyers and Slag Wars: The Next Destroyer

In October 2019, the pair played a pair of rival brothel madams in A Tale of Two Cock Destroyers, produced for the gay porn site Men.com. Recorded in a suburban manor estate, the video was their first venture into that genre and also featured that genre's Ty Mitchell, JJ Knight, Johnny Rapid, Joey Mills, Leander, and Jonas Jackson. Rose Dommu of Out.com described the film's vibe as "The Favourite, but with more anal". Later that month, that year's RuPaul's Drag Race UK contestants The Vivienne, Divina de Campo, and Baga Chipz formed the Frock Destroyers, who took their name from Anderson and More's outfit; their single "Break Up (Bye Bye)" became the first UK Top 40 single by a drag girl band that November, peaking at number 35.

From November 2020, the pair co-presented the safe for work four-part reality television series Slag Wars: The Next Destroyer alongside Matthew Camp, with whom More had commandeered the queer brand Daddy Couture a year earlier. Narrated by Chase Icon, the show was shot during the COVID-19 pandemic in four days at the countryside house of a friend of More's after she offered it for a shoot and was streamed on Men.com and the purpose-built safe for work domain SlagWars.com. Won by Tyreece Nye, the series sought to find a third Cock Destroyer among seven sex workers and OnlyFans creators, who were described on the programme as Slags in an effort to reclaim the word as sex-positive. In May 2021, following speculation caused by More tweeting about a "viscous email" she had received, Anderson tweeted that the pair had split.
