Interview by C. Loftus

The beautiful girl with the odd moniker is getting to be a household name. Although you may pronounce it wrong, you will soon know who she is. Aaliyah Love is going on a decade in the adult web cam biz, and for the last five months she has shot girl/girl porn scenes for so many companies I can’t keep track of them all. These movies have already started hitting the web and the shelves. If you didn’t know her before, you will certainly know her now. Aaliyah Love is going to be everywhere you look. And you’ll like what you see!

Pronounce your name for me please.
My name is Aaliyah pronounced uh-LEE-yah. Not uh-LIE-uh.
I would pronounce it A-uh-LEE-yah.
(Laughs)
How come there are two A’s if you only say one of them?
Actually it was a name that was picked out for me. I got my start in webcam. Long story short the girls on the website were listed alphabetically and by blonde and brunette. So I wanted to be a brunette named Molly and they said oh no, you are going to be our next star, so we are going to give you a double “A” name and you are going blonde. That way you will be the very first girl on the list so you will get most of the traffic. And it worked.
I never would have thought of that being the reason for your name, and the spelling of it. It is a brilliant move.
At the time I said I don’t want to be popular. I don’t want to be a star. I’m only doing this for two or three weeks. I’m not like one of THOSE girls. And now nine and a half years later…
Nine and a half years? You look like you are twenty-two now.
Thank you.
You sound like a little kid too.
That never gets old when people tell me I look and sound young. I love it. Thank you.

You’re welcome. You said on Twitter that your name was a blessing and a curse.
It is totally a blessing and a curse. A blessing because of the reason I just told you and definitely if I had not become that website’s top girl and if they hadn’t brought me to porn conventions and people asked me if I had a website and if I shoot, I wouldn’t be here today. I would have gone back to being a pre-school teacher, and I’d be making thirty thousand dollars a year. It’s definitely also a curse because nobody knows how to pronounce it, nobody knows how to say it. I had to buy twenty mis-spells of my URL. And after nine years people still spell it wrong, and I don’t blame them, it’s a strange name.
It worked for you.
Exactly. Too late to change it now!
So you were a pre-school teacher when you started webcamming?
Yes. I was a day care teacher and I was going to college to major in elementary education. I am actually only nine or ten classes away from my degree. So I was teaching pre-school all day for eight hours and made about forty-two dollars. Then I would go work on webcam for two hours and make another forty-two dollars and I just thought that was amazing.
You had to ask yourself, why keep doing the eight hour thing?
I did. But I didn’t want to give it up for a long time. I kept saying, no that’s not me. That’s not my direction. I’m not like that. It took me awhile to give the teaching up. I still miss it sometimes, but I realize I made the choice, porn or teaching. I can never go back.
Probably not. Especially now that you are doing all these sex scenes for movies. What happened that had you change from web-camming to shooting a ton of porn scenes?
That’s hard to answer. I’ve done shoots here and there since I started. I did my first shoot about the same time I started webcamming. But not until April of this year when Twisty made me their “Treat of the Month”, I started shooting for them often. Then I realized, hey this is fun. I realized I could make more money doing this than webcamming. Around that time, I started shooting more and since then it’s been off to the races. I have been booking myself five, six shoots a week since. It’s been crazy and amazing.
It is crazy. We hear about there not being enough work in porn, and you are working so much. That is huge.
I realize how lucky I am. I’m usually booked three weeks in advance and I always wonder what is going to happen when those three weeks end. Then I get another phone call and I’m good for more shoots. It’s scary. Sometimes I think should get an agent, other times I feel like I am my own best agent and nobody is going to be as pushy as I am. I market myself pretty hard.  And being a webcam model for the last nine years, it’s been a really long time since I’ve had a boss, or somebody telling me my schedule or what to do and when to do it. I just don’t know if I can go back from that.

If it works you should keep doing it, and save your money.
I am saving my money. If I can make it all the way to New Year’s Eve booking myself, I’ll be a happy girl.
You’ll be a rich girl!
(Laughs) Yeah. Actually I’ve been able to pay off most of my debts this year, my student loans and taxes and stuff, which isn’t very exciting, but it gives me a really good feeling.
Good for you. I know how you feel. I paid student loans for myself and my husband for ten years and it feels like it’s never going to end. But it does.
I know. It’s like a weight lifted off my shoulders. Thank you porn!
Among many people that love you, Porno Dan loves you to death. He said you are one of their favorite girls.
It’s a very unlikely friendship I would say. I adore Porno Dan too. I’m going to be straight up, we’ve all heard rumors about Porno Dan and he has a reputation. I was pleasantly surprised when I met Dan, how much of a gentleman he was, how professional, how helpful, how honest and sweet he was.
I agree. He does have a player reputation and because of that I didn’t really have much to do with him. And what happened was one of the crazies on my site threatened to kill Dan and so I felt it was necessary to call the police. So I called LAPD and reported it. And then I ended up talking to Dan a couple of times and we ended up being friendly because of his death threat.
That’s a strange way to meet.
Yes it is. And luckily that threat was just that. Crazies, haters, we all have them.
Yes. I wish I could say that I just ignore them and they don’t bother me, but I am one of those that can’t help but tell people off on twitter. I see myself doing it and I know I shouldn’t but I just can’t help myself.
You know what? If someone is really rude to you, I think you should be just as rude back. I understand. On my sites I stay as neutral as I can, but on twitter, I’m there being myself. If someone pisses me off, they are going to hear about it.
I see that, you are a strong woman Cindi and I appreciate that.

I’m sure camming and shooting and being in porn has changed you from what you were as a preschool teacher to what you are. I am sure you are stronger.
It made me stronger. It made me a better person. I am so less judgmental now. I accept people of all races, (adult) ages, fetishes, whatever they want to do in their personal life. I look back on the girl that I used to be and I was that insecure, jealous girl that would put down other girls, or get mad when my boyfriend would say another girl was hot, ridiculous stuff like that. I am so passed all that. I am so accepting of people and so much more chill about life in general it’s crazy. I love it.
I think it does make you more accepting, and more accepted. I don’t know if you were popular in high school, but I was pretty much considered a weirdo when I was in school.
Yeah. Me too.
In porn everyone is a little strange and has their quirks and we’re all okay with it. But I can’t imagine that everyone in school wasn’t trying to get in your pants.
Oh no. I was a big nerd. I had no friends. I got picked on a lot. School was not a good time for me. It’s funny, all those people that used to pick on me are all really fat and old looking and they still live in the same town we grew up in, none of them ever got out. Now they send me facebook messages like, Yeah, I heard you were a big porn star, looking great. I try not to be bitter, but they were really cruel to me. It’s pretty ironic, isn’t it?

Yeah, now they want to say they know you. Do you think you would want to go back to your high school reunion?
No I don’t. I thought I did, but it would be uncomfortable. It’s a small town and I don’t know what kind of attention I would get. I don’t know if I would like it.
You might be a front page news story if you went home.
Yeah,  exactly. No thanks.

Speaking of being a geek, I’m really curious about your cam shows, you must get all kinds of different people that show up to talk to you. You must get some really odd requests. What are some of the oddest things people ask?
Some of the craziest, kinkiest, dirtiest webshows I have ever done is not because of things people ask me to do, but things that people ask me to watch them do. Most of my webcam shows are -get naked, masturbate, do anal, but some of the things I have seen!
Tell me! But only the things that are legal! (Laughs)
(Laughs) I answered a similar question yesterday, they asked me what was the grossest thing and I said I can’t tell you the first or second grossest thing, but I’ll tell you the third. People have asked me to watch them fuck. Sometimes it is a guy pretending and it’s really obvious. I’ve seen people fuck various fruit. I watched a guy fuck a watermelon once. I made him cut it into slices and eat the slices afterward, he wasn’t happy about that. I’ve had guys fuck blow up dolls. I once had a guy who would not say anything to me. He would just go in the corner of the room and pump weights and make these really mean faces at me. I never knew what kind of response to give. I’ve seen people stick all sorts of objects in their butt, in their pee holes, all different places…

And THIS Aaliyah, is your job. (Laughs)
And THIS is my job, and the funny thing is, is that it doesn’t even phase me now. I’m just like what do you want to show me, awesome! It’s back to that being more accepting of other people. It’s something out of the norm. I’ve masturbated for the last ten shows, now we are going to do something different, cool!
I think it’s great that they can come to you with their fantasies that maybe they can’t share with their wives or girlfriends. I say this because I had a sort of similar clientele when I did phone sex. You make them feel better because sometimes what turns them on may be awkward or embarrassing to them.
Exactly, and that makes me happy to be there for them. There might be nobody else in their life that they can admit this too or show this too. It also makes me sad, just because they don’t like vanilla sex, they like something different from the norm, they are ashamed or upset or they ask me why am I like this or how can I fix this. I think they should be okay with their fetish. If it makes them horny and happy, I wish it didn’t make them feel shame.
I bet you have a lot of cross dressers that come to chat because you would be so accepting of them.
I do. I do. It’s fun.

That would be fun, give them make-up and hair tips. How hard must it be, if that is your thing, that you have to keep all that a secret from everyone, but your cam girl.
So you want to wear girls’ panties instead of guys’ panties, because they are silky? It shouldn’t be a big deal. I don’t blame you! I am always open and honest with people from the start, so I don’t have to keep secrets. Five minutes after someone meets me they know what I do and who I am. First date, they know. Most people I meet in LA and try to date, have met me through some sort of porn, so they know right away that I am Aaliyah Love and I’m in porn. And if they get to know me there are other aspects they can get to know. So I really don’ t have to explain that much.

So you do sex scenes with just girls?
Yes, just girls and solo.
Do you think you will ever do sex scenes with boys?
No, I don’t think so. I think if I wanted to I would have by now. There are just a long list of reasons not too. But the one that upsets me the most is that when people hear I do only scenes with girls they assume I am a lesbian. Just because I don’t fuck men on camera, doesn’t mean I don’t fuck men. (Laughs) But you know what one of the biggest reasons is?  Most of my fans are from my web-camming and that is 90% solo and 10% girl/girl and that is what they have grown to love. That is why they joined my website and followed me all these years. They say if you ever do boy/girl, I will leave you. I understand that and I get that and I want to keep the people who have supported me for nine years.
They probably think of you as their girlfriend and they don’t want to see you with another guy.
Yeah, there are a lot of them who aren’t into boy/girl and those guys are my fans.
I read you love to kiss. If it was up to you the first ten minutes of a scene would be kissing.
I love making out! All my favorite performers are because they are a great kisser. I don’t think there is enough kissing in porn scenes.
No there isn’t. They don’t go through the steps. They just jump right in.
Yea, don’t lick my pussy before you kiss me! That’s weird, on camera or off.

So who are your favorite performers?
Most people are more diplomatic than me when asked this question and they say, oh I can’t pick favorites, but fuck that I have favorites! (Laughs) Shayla Jennings is always one of my favorites, she is the best kisser ever. Cheri Deville is kind of new to the porn scene. She’s amazing. I am obsessed with her and her boobs. I love her.  Veronica Avluv, Dani Jensen, and Lily Cade. Lily Cade and I are very simpatico.
Lily is very butch.
Yes I love that about her.
She’s a sweetheart. I’ve talked to her before, but she is someone who you look at and think lesbian.
Yeah and she made me cum every time, several times and you know that she’s cumming for real because she bosses you around until she cums. I love that! Takes all the guess work out of it.

Sounds like you are having fun with your sex scenes.
I sure am. This year has been the most amazing year of my life.
What do you think is the best scene you have ever done?
There was a pretty amazing scene that I did with Veronica Avluv a couple years ago when we first met, that she completely wrote, directed and styled. I was her little French maid and she was the mistress of the house that came home and found me playing instead of cleaning. The scene involved four or five sex acts and was about an hour long. I kept saying this is too good to go on my website as a whole. I have to chop it into two or three pieces. I can’t have people expecting this of me every time. We did decide to keep it as one though. It was a lot of fun. You can still find it on my website, you just have to go back a couple of years.

Just think how lucky you are… If you see someone you want to have sex with you can just call them up and say, hey, do you want to do a “content trade”?
I know. I’m obviously bi-sexual although I don’t like that word. I like boys and girls. I could never, ever hit on a woman off camera. I could go into a bar and say any thing to any guy, but if there is a beautiful girl standing there, I am so shy. But I can find any of those girls on twitter and say, you are beautiful, let’s shoot! I just love that. I am so lucky.
And even when you are alone, you can have fun all by yourself. I saw on your website that you were fucking your ass with a dildo.
Did you? I do that quite often.

So you do anal.
Yes. That is also one of the things that contributed to my webcam success is that I called myself the assfucked school-girl. And I put my hair in pigtails, put on a skirt and I would shove things up my butt.
It worked for you!
It sure does! In the next two weeks I will be doing my very first strap-on anal scene ever on camera and I am quite nervous about it. I can’t tell you the details right now. I have to keep it a secret. (Aaliyah got permission to talk. It’s for GirlFriends Films with Sinn Sage directed by  Elexis Monroe)
Do you do the girl or does she do you?
She does me. I fuck myself with dildos all the time but I never had anybody else do it.
That’s giving up control. You seem submissive when you talk about certain people.
I love to be submissive.

Well you mention Lily Cade being bossy, so she must be dominant in your scenes.
She sure is. You are making me think, oh I want to shoot with her again.

But you also say that when you are on cam you boss the guys around, so then YOU are dominant.
I do, that’s funny. On webcam, even when someone is being dominant, you are very much in control. That’s part of the reason I like being submissive during sex so much. I’ve been in control all day, all week, telling people what to do and how to do it, and then it’s my turn now.
So you are good at both dominant and submissive. You are a perfect girl for porn.
Thank you.

I read that you have an injury from masturbating.
I’m like, which one, I’ve had several. My right wrist is completely destroyed from webcamming. Can you imagine me explaining that to the doctor?
So you have carpel tunnel from masturbating?
I have severe carpel tunnel and I have cysts in my wrists. And now that I am doing porn scenes instead of web-camming as much it is starting to get better. But I was getting cortisone shots in my wrists and wearing braces off camera and it’s literally from sitting there and masturbating with a dildo sometimes four, five, six hours in a row. In the beginning, I don’t know how I did this, but I would work ten, twelve hours in a row.
That’s a lot of orgasms!


Yes and ninety percent of the time I am just sitting there masturbating. When it is a group show and everyone is just clicking in and out every five minutes you just keep going without stopping. So my right wrist is destroyed.
That’s funny, but not funny you know what I mean?
It’s weird. Everybody laughs when I tell them. But at least it’s a good story.
I used to work in phone sex and we had an operator try to claim an injury from Worker’s Comp for masturbating while she was on the phone. Of course, this is with no cam, so the girl is supposed to be pretending!
Oh my god, that is hilarious!
It was. I’ve got some questions here from your fans that I am going to throw in here at the end. Do you like Kentucky Fried Chicken Gravy?
I’m a vegetarian. Next.
If you could be a superhero, what super power would you pick?
I’d love to be able to tell if people are lying or telling the truth. Can you imagine how much further in the porn world I could make it if I knew people’s intentions?

For sure! What is your favorite cuss word?
Cunt. I like cunt.
And can you use that word in a sentence? (Laughs)
(Laughs) My cunt is so wet. Please tongue my little cunt and make me cum.
What girl is the best pussy licker ever?
Elexis Monroe and Dani Jensen are both really good at licking pussy.
That’s a great way to end our interview. Do you have a message for your fans?
I love you all. Thank you for putting up with me. Thank you for being there for me through my ups and downs. I have the funniest, sweetest, awesome fans in the industry and I appreciate everything they have done for me. They have never let me down. I love them all.
