Adult film star Riley Reid once revealed why she no longer films scenes with male co-stars after years in the business.

Reid, whose real name is Ashley Mathews, got into adult films when she was just 19-years-old and quickly became a beloved name in the porn industry.

The now 32-year-old has won numerous awards for her performances in X-rated films, including Female Performer of the Year at the 2014 XBIZ Awards.

She was inducted into the XRCO Hall of Fame in 2021 and, the same year, she was estimated to be making six figures a month on OnlyFans.

But, despite her success, Reid decided to make a major change when she stopped filming porn with men.

She revealed the reason behind the decision in a 2021 episode of Jordyn Jones' What They Don't Tell You podcast, opening up about dating difficulties she'd faced due to her career.

When asked if she ever had any boyfriends, Reid said: "Dating was really hard," revealing that prospective partners often had a preconceived idea of who she should be.

"Especially as I grew a name for myself, it was hard to meet someone who [didn't] know who I was.

"And so there was always that, like, fandom. They met me first in their mind as Riley, so it was really hard to like reverse and teach them that I'm Ashley."

Reid previously shared on the Impaulsive podcast that one former partner made her feel 'disgusting' because of her career.

"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."

But, while Reid didn't give up altogether, she did decide to stop shooting 'boy-girl porn.'

"It was a choice I made on my own," she said.

"But I made that choice because I was lonely and I wanted love and affection and stuff and I was like, 'I'm not gonna be able to find this while I'm performing.'"

The star is now married to Latvian free-runner Pasha Petkuns.

The pair got married in 2021 in a private ceremony in Los Angeles, California, and share one daughter together - two-year-old Emma.

Reid has described Petkuns as an 'amazing husband'.

On Instagram, she wrote: "You’re so present in every moment with both of us and I am so happy to spend everyday with you."
