Aella was OnlyFan’s top-grossing star in 2022, bringing in $100,000 monthly… admitted that she only showered 37 times throughout the entire year.

A former OnlyFans star and high-profile sex and relationships writer surprised her Twitter followers by revealing that she showered just 37 times in the entirety of 2022.

Aella has more than 130,000 followers on Twitter thanks to her insightful commentary on sexual culture in America and beyond.

According to her website biography, she pivoted to adult work as an escape from dull factory jobs, and went on to become one of the top earning OnlyFans stars around with a $100,000 monthly income.

She’s since grown a Substack, released a card game, and made multiple media appearances.

On Sunday, she posted her review of the year, based on habit-tracking app Daylio.

Another follower said: “37 showers is so insane to me. I shower twice a day and many days 3 times in the summer or just bc I may have been running around. You stink. You have to.”

Aella replied: “If I showered that often I would stink! disturbs my microbiome.”

But some fans took a different view, with one asking whether people’s views of their bodies was warped: “This thread has me wondering how much water gets used by ppl obsessed w showering bc their b&w thinking has led them to believe that anything not immediately sanitized is disgusting and have never questioned the narrative of their bodies are inherently nasty and require soap.”

She later explained that she first discovered her microbiome issue when she went camping, after washing with “heavy duty soap” the next day and finding out she smelled way worse..

But it was one 2022 stat that caught some fans by surprise; she said she’d only showered 37 times. Given most people shower every day, or every other day, that was a shortfall of expectations of around 145 showers, at least.

When someone pointed it out, she gave an interesting reason: it disturbs her microbiome.

“Yep, I try not to disturb my natural skin microbiome too much. if I shower too often I seem to stink more! I regularly use a bidet and spot-wash my armpits and genitals tho.”

Q: Have you learned what your clients respond well to?

A: Men want personality. They really do. And there’s some sort of fantasy that you’re selling the guy on. Like, I’m not just a body for you to fuck. I’m some sort of escapism that you can fall in love with for a night, who’s warm and bubbly and fun to be around and makes you feel great about yourself. And there’s a little bit of therapy involved too. One aspect of selling sex to men is that you’re selling them an identity about themselves.

Q: Could you explain the class differences in types of sex work?

A: I did a survey of a bunch of escorts and found that the amount of bad things they encountered, like sexual assault, or theft, or police, or whatever, was pretty strongly correlated with their price range. Basically, the more money you charge, you’re pricing yourself out of more sketchy clientele. The people who are going to be paying you $1,000 an hour are not going to sexually assault you. They’re a lawyer or a doctor or a politician or someone who just doesn’t want to mess with that.
