Because I was a photographer who photographed nude women my now sister-in-law tried to warn my now wife off me. I was also told ‘of course your will now stop your nude photography’ my wife of now 19 years fully supports my photography as would any partner who loved you.
Ariel, you did very well on the interview! I am very happy for you! You are absolutely amazing and beautiful as always! Keep pushing, keep smiling, keep grinding, keep praying, and never stop! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ariel, wonderful honesty and clarity. As a videographer please consider using a lav mic for your "bedroom as studio" interviews. As you currently record audio it sounds cold and metallic.
I enjoyed listening to you very much. All valid points and you are very inspiring. So much value in your fair and open answers and wonderful that you share this information. 💕 The reference system and connection between models in Safety groups etc has vastly improved which wasn't as easy when I first started modelling either. 👍
You raise a couple of interesting points (actually many more). 1) Car insurance. I'm not in that industry, so this may not be 100% accurate. I believe the hesitancy cones from the fact that as a model you trade on your looks. If I were to have an accident where my legs were smashed and I was left with scars, or got my face cut with flying glass and lost an eye and was left with scars, I could carry on working. If you or any model were to suffer the same injuries, I would imagine they would be career ending. In such a case, the insurance company might end up having to cover lost earnings. 2) Ways your work could be seen as being harmful. The main way I can think of is if someone watches your bondage work and tries to emulate it with their partner. Without knowing how to do it safely, I imagine there would be enormous scope for everything from joint / muscle injuries to death, especially if they rigger was aroused and lost concentration. Thanks for a great video.
Car insurance: It's risk assessment, from the insurance company's perspective they believe that a model is a high risk because they have had more claims from models than other occupations. Lots of occupations have the same issue, publican for example.
Some very interesting questions here, and I think it's a great idea to be prepared to be asked these combative questions by those who are perhaps asking them from a less understanding/more ignorant/hostile perspective. Some of these questions are fallacies (which is why they're so excellent for your Twitter followers to have asked, because they are typically what sex workers get asked from what I have seen), such as the question about potentially being emulated. There are very, very, *very* few professions where the question about harm potentially coming to people trying to emulate what they see gets asked, and the only one I can actually think of that I've seen before is wrestling (e.g. their 'Don't Try This At Home' campaign/stance), and it's questions like these that these are so infuriating when they can be asked of any profession yet only get asked of sex workers (or sex workers and very few other professions), and I find it to be a tremendously disingenuous question - as you said, nobody asks this about/to rugby players. Excellent question for that person to have asked, as are all of these, and it shows why practising ahead of time in the event of potentially more hostile parties asking you these questions in a great idea. It makes me so mad that people could purposefully be so brazen as to ask such ignorant questions to sex workers (from a hostile perspective) from their perceived elevated plain of morality.
RUclips has been feeding me some of those manosphere table videos where they get some usually OF girls and then argue with the men condemning the girls. I've often thought they'd never ask Ariel as she's past the what if stage and can give real life experience answers. Many of the questions are similar to these answered here. It would be amusing to see them get a real lesson however. It is a bit concerning to see how many of them are taking views that would have Jerry Falwell going, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I realise that some or all of these questions are sent to you in love and peace, but the fact that someone out there might ask them for real is worrying. I feel like a common thread is that the questioner is challenging female agency and the ability to decide for yourself what you do with your body and time.

Great answers and questions.....I'm always hearted that models find and support each other against predators.

I like your frank answers to those hostile questions, they are honest and to the point!

You can direct or write or promote new models, there are always options you can mentor.
I'm 64 and I'm still trying to get started as the second act of my life, and I have photos on all kinds of web sites 5 to be exact

Ariel, is that the Welsh Dragon on the pendant around your neck? Lovely. Are you Welsh?
