Renowned adult star Riley Reid has recently shared the most attractive thing a man can do in the bedroom.
One of the adult entertainment industry’s most recognizable figures, Reid has used social media and podcast interviews to offer insight into her life and career.
In a candid discussion, Reid shared the one tip she thinks every man should follow in the bedroom.
Known for her outspoken nature on various podcasts, Reid, 33, has built a following not only for her career accomplishments but also for her openness in discussing personal and industry-related challenges.
With over 2.1 million followers on Instagram and an extensive list of awards, Reid (whose real name is Ashley Matthews) is recognized beyond the adult industry.
In a conversation on the Pillow Talk podcast, Reid offered advice on what makes a man attractive in the bedroom, based on her own experiences.
Reid has spoken candidly in past interviews about the emotional toll her career has taken on her personal relationships. She has often faced judgment from partners, including one ex who refused to kiss her after work—an experience that left her feeling rejected and ashamed. “I’m not disgusting! It’s harsh. It was so horrible when he told me that,” she recalled.
These moments have made Reid question whether finding love is truly possible while remaining in the adult entertainment industry. On the Impaulsive podcast, she shared how some partners gave her ultimatums: “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 also been honest about how her career has strained her family life. In a resurfaced clip on X (formerly Twitter), she explained, “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.”
Among the most painful challenges has been her strained relationship with her parents. Reid has attributed the distance to boundaries and their disapproval of her work. One especially difficult moment came when her father refused to be seen with her in public, telling her, “I don’t want to be seen in public with you”—a rejection she described as deeply hurtful.
Reid recently shared that while she hasn’t fully stepped away from the adult film industry, she has decided to stop performing in boy-girl scenes, which were once a major part of her work.
Speaking on Jordyn Jones’ What They Don’t Tell You podcast, she opened up about how fame affected her personal life, noting that many people saw her only as “Riley” rather than her true self, Ashley Matthews.
“I didn’t retire, but I stopped doing boy-girl porn,” she explained. “It was a personal decision—I made that choice because I felt lonely and wanted genuine love and affection.”
Reid’s reflections echo those of other former adult film stars like Lana Rhoades and Mia Khalifa, who have also spoken candidly about the emotional and personal challenges that came with their careers.
Reid recently opened up about what she finds most attractive in a man’s approach to intimacy, emphasizing the importance of anticipation and playfulness.
“I personally prefer to start with clothes on,” she shared. “Coming in completely naked right away—like dropping your towel—is just too much. There’s no foreplay, nothing to build on.”
She highlighted how teasing can make things more exciting, even joking, “I can’t exactly tease you with just your socks. Maybe I’ll grab them and shove them in my mouth or something.”
Reid also offered a word of caution to men: “Avoid going straight for the most sensitive spots. Save that for later—build up to it. That kind of restraint will drive your partner wild and leave them begging to be touched.”
