Famous adult star Riley Reid recently shared her thoughts on what makes a man most attractive in the bedroom. Known for her openness and candid conversations, Reid (Ashley Matthews) has become one of the adult entertainment industry’s most recognized figures. With over 2.1 million Instagram followers and numerous awards, she’s built a loyal fanbase by discussing her personal experiences and industry insights.
In a recent interview on the Pillow Talk podcast, 33-year-old Reid shared one essential tip every man should follow in the bedroom. Through social media and podcasts, Reid often speaks openly about her life, career, and the challenges of working in adult entertainment. Here’s what Reid thinks truly makes a man stand out.
In past interviews, Reid has spoken about the challenges of maintaining relationships, often facing judgment because of her career.
She shared that an ex-partner’s refusal to kiss her after work made her feel “like a disgusting person,” saying: “I’m not disgusting! It’s harsh. It was so horrible when he told me that.”
These experiences made Reid wonder if she could find love while staying in the industry.
On the Impaulsive podcast, she explained how some partners gave her ultimatums, saying: “I’ve dated guys that were like ‘Me or p***?’ and I was like, ‘p*** never gave me this ultimatum, so I choose that.'”
Reid has been open about how her career has affected her personal life, especially with family.
In a clip that resurfaced on X (formerly Twitter), she said: “A lot of times when people ask me if they should do p***, I tell them no. I tell them that it makes life really hard, it makes dating really hard, it makes your family life really hard, it makes intimacy hard. You have to be OK with being shamed every day of your life.”
Due to these challenges, Reid has a strained relationship with her parents, which she attributes to boundaries and disapproval of her career.
She shared how painful it was when her father refused to meet her in public, telling her, “I don’t want to be seen in public with you.” This was very hard for her to handle. Recently, Reid shared that although she hasn’t fully left the adult industry, she decided to stop filming boy-girl scenes, which had been a big part of her early career.
She talked about this choice on Jordyn Jones’ What They Don’t Tell You podcast, explaining that fame has made dating harder, as many people first see her as “Riley” instead of her real self, Ashley Matthews.
“I didn’t retire but I just stopped shooting boy-girl p***… It was a choice I made on my own but I made that choice because I was lonely and I wanted love and affection and stuff.”
Reid isn’t the only one speaking about the challenges of the industry. Other adult stars, like Lana Rhoades and Mia Khalifa, have also opened up about how their careers have affected their personal lives.
Riley Reid recently shared her thoughts on what she finds most attractive in a man’s approach to intimacy.
“I personally like to start with clothes on,” she explained. “I don’t think you should come in and start butt a** naked – like, drop your towel bulls. There’s no f***ing foreplay or anything to play with.”
Reid highlighted the importance of building anticipation, even adding a humorous tip: “I can’t tease you with your socks or anything. Like, maybe I’ll take them and shove them in my mouth.”
She also advised men on what to avoid, saying, “Avoid any of the hyper-stimulating areas until almost the last possible moment, because that will get them so excited that they’re going to be like, ‘f***ing touch me.'”
