Adult film star Riley Reid has opened up about the salary she asked for when shooting an adult movie.
The pornstar has been working in the industry for over 10 years and began performing when she was 19.
Previously using the stage name 'Paige Riley' at first, the actor has since gone on to win over 45 awards, including Female Performer of the Year and the AVN Award for Female Performer of the Year in 2016.
Despite her on-screen success, however, Reid no longer performs porn with men.

On the Impaulsive podcast, she said that one of her ex-boyfriends made her feel like a 'disgusting person' because of her job.
"He made me feel like maybe I should quit and stuff... He didn't want to kiss me when I came home from work. So it made me feel like a disgusting person," Reid said, however, she added that the decision was a one she'd 'made on her own'.
The star is now married to Latvian free-runner Pasha Petkuns.
Amidst her change of approach, however, Reid still makes a lot of money on OnlyFans and produces and stars in her own films.
During an appearance on It's Daniel Mac in 2022, the adult film star opened up about her going-rate over the years - including her demands for shooting her first 'a** scene'.
"I kept my rate up at like over five, like it was like five to 10k, for you know kind of dependant on the month and where I was, I was like 'okay I'll take some more a**, we could lower my rate' and I'm like 'uh let's raise it up because I've shot a lot recently'," she said.
"So like when you see your first a***, your first DP and your first g***bang, a lot of times you can get a good chunk of chains.
"Sometimes girls can get like 10k, sometimes they can get 15 to 20.
"So it kind of like depends on like what you do, like if you do a featured movie, you might be able to get like 30,000 if you shoot like a few scenes or whatever."
She continued to say: "And some some girls can be really smart, so like when I did my first a***, I got paid like 15k for my first a***, but I made the company also agree to let me shoot my own a*** scene and release it at the same time on my website.
"So it wasn't like the same scene, they had a way better production quality and everything like that.
"But I was still able to monetise on my own site as well as with them advertising my a*** scene."
