The show was conceived several years before broadcast by Sophie Anderson and Rebecca More, who were better known as The Cock Destroyers. The show was produced after a friend of More offered her large countryside house for a shoot and was filmed in four days during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom. The series was co-presented by Matthew Camp, with whom More had commandeered the queer brand Daddy Couture in September 2019, and was intended as a celebration of sex work and as a safe space for people to be themselves. Contestants were described on the programme as Slags in order to reclaim the word as sex-positive.
The first series used many personal friends of the Cock Destroyers as guests, including its narrator Chase Icon, and ran for four episodes. The show was shot on a tight budget and featured specially composed tracks as a soundtrack. Anderson was due to have buttock augmentation just before filming, but delayed it as she felt it would interfere with wearing the lycra suits they had ordered for the show. This series was streamed on Men.com and SlagWars.com, the latter of which had been created for those wanting a safe for work experience. The show featured seven sex workers and OnlyFans creators as contestants and was won by Tyreece Nye.
In May 2021, More announced that the pair had split up following her receipt of a "viscous email" [sic]. The second series, filmed in late 2023, was due to feature a reunion of the pair, but Anderson dropped out after no-showing on the first day of production as she was not well enough to film and was replaced by Fantasia Royale Gaga of the Boulet Brothers' Dragula. The series scrapped eliminations, as Anderson had struggled with sending contestants home, and instead instituted a points-based system to make the show fairer. Shortly after filming, Anderson died; More announced her death in December 2023. The second series aired on the LGBTQ streaming service Outflix and ran for seven episodes; its first episode featured a tribute to Anderson and was released alongside a documentary on how the Cock Destroyers became famous. This series featured the same theme song as the first series.
