  <description>What do you get when you mix nerds and sex research? A deep dive into the world of fetish statistics, men's calibration about women's sexual preferences, and the crazy underground world of financial domination. Stay tuned as Aella walks the boys through the world of gangbangs, camming, OnlyFans, escorting, findom, and even live-tests Vaden's wild hypothesis against her huge, thick, dataset. 
We discuss
How to describe what Aella does
Aella's bangin' birthday party 
The state of sex research 
Conservative and neo-trad pushback and whether Aella is immune from cancellation
Are men calibrated when it comes to predicting women's sexual preferences? 
The wild world of findom (financial domination) 
Is findom addiction worse than other addictions? 
Differences between camming and OnlyFans 
Can a fetish ever be considered self-harm? 
Plus some live hypothesis testing! Does Vaden's hypothesis survive...?  
Aella's forthcoming journal based on Rationalist principles
