That was extremely interesting. Thankyou for doing this interview (and thankyou to Aella for interviewing).
I hope she is successful in life. I don’t agree with the legal drugs bit, but I can’t think of many people who would be as respectful towards alternate opinions as she has been.

I would love for Dalrymple and Peterson to comment about this. At one point she says “no judgment”.
I love the sanitized “sex worker” term. Oddly I’ve never heard a parent proudly say “My daughter is a sex worker!” Maybe, just maybe, there is a reason that society has proscribed against prostitution for thousands of years?
It’s all relative. Someone with the right combination of skill and attribute can go far, as the history books will testify. I know if I thought I could earn over a hundred grand in a month armed with nothing more than a cam and a captive audience, I jolly well would.

Once again, Freddie Sayers shows what a wonderful interviewer he is. I was surprised when Freddie dropped an f-bomb past the 40-minute mark. Even he had trouble keeping his composure interviewing Aella. It’s a pity that her minister father didn’t choose to finance his lovely and statistically minded daughter’s university education. That was the road not taken and who knows where it might not have led her?

It is very clear, from A to Z, that this girl is a sociopath. She is highly intelligent and tries to keep the listener always with the hope that she can be redeemed. But the fact is, she is as cold and as calculating as any human being has ever been. The only question is: is she immoral or amoral?One thing is for certain, though: she is well beyond redemption.
I agree: She appears to be a sociopath. Are sociopaths aware of being sociopathic? She is the prodigal daughter. No one is beyond redemption. Not even her. I also find it bizarre that she could not survive financially working in factory. Typical millennial (she seems to be one, anyway).shitting on real, hard work.

Amazing interview. I wish our politicians could answer such difficult questions with half the insight and eloquence that she had.

A fascinating read tho I imagine Portugal alongside many other countries might look askance at her application for citizenship (which would be their loss). I guess Aella views herself as an investment asset that rightly belongs to no-one else but herself: a mobile profit centre. If one accepts that position of moral relativism one can’t criticise her – it’s a matter of personal taste. As for long term psychological damage, we all make poorly informed choices about the future and sometimes good choices too. Aella seems intelligent and interesting and clearly, many will wish her well.

I don’t think small ‘c’ conservative people know what to do with people like Aella. I mean, I think they are much happier with black and white definitions of right and wrong because it simplifies their lives and means they don’t have to do a lot of thinking.
A few years ago there was a documentary on a woman from the south west of England who had chosen to become an escort in early middle age. What was fascinating about it was that she simply did not conform to any of the prevailing stereotypes. She was not poor (she had a very nice middle class lifestyle), she did not appear unstable, and she interviewed like the CEO of a corporation, a newspaper editor or any other well established professional. In other words, it was more or less impossible to escape the conclusion that she had chosen this career for her own, entirely valid, reasons.
This interview reminded me of her. I have no idea whether in either case there are hidden demons at work. It would not surprise me. Then again that is no more likely than in anyone who has chosen a different path. We all have our demons.
There are times I think sex workers ought to be given the status of priests or nuns. I think it is probably true that more peace is found by the client of a sex worker than he (or she) finds as a result of listening to a sermon.

This just makes me sad. Our entire culture is hell-bent in converting all young women into porn stars and prostitutes and commodifying their bodies. They’ve been groomed by the media to believe that a woman’s best asset is her body – not her mind, heart, talent, skill, knowledge or wisdom. Must get them naked in front of as many men with as few clothes for as much money as early as possible before that one single thing that society values – her superficial appearance – vanishes. By then, she’ll have nothing else valuable to offer.
Sure, this young woman is intelligent, but she strikes me as utterly devoid of substance or character. I’m sad for her. She’ll likely never know what it’s like to be loved for who she is as a whole unique and sacred human being. The real tragedy is that so many young women will follow in her footsteps because she’s oblivious to the reality that women are forced to compete with each other for the attention and resources of men. It would be devastating to wake up one day and realize that you’ve been objectified and used up and discarded as just another product. Women and girls do not matter except as they meet the needs of men in this culture. Feminism was supposed to change that. Clearly, we’re regressing as a species when the sexual entitlement of one half of the species is prioritized over the safety, dignity and respect of the other half of the species.

Honestly, at mid-point of interview where Sayers is most searching I think her replies are almost gibberish. You can hear the cognitive dissonance at work five miles away…

f*****g brilliant! (sic). An incredibly together young lady. The only things abnormal about her are intelligence, rationality & a realisation that we are all individuals with different ways of perceiving the world, none of which are necessarily ‘wrong’ or ‘right’; she also realises that most of us are resilient enough & intelligent enough ourselves to make our own valid decisions. I’m just hoping & praying she’s the future. As a bloke I would also say she’s bang right about what men (this man anyway) want; tenderness, sensuality & lots & lots of lovely foreplay.

Fascinating. It’s like personality porn.
However while Aella is obviously very at home with all of this, I get the feeling that she’d be pretty much at home with politics, writing, pretty much anything.
As such I’m not sure how much one would want to apply what she says to her fellow workers/compatriots/competitors.
She’s seems sorted and indeed she’s in the 0.8%. I wonder if the other 99% might be quite different.
