In the world of intimacy, understanding what ignites passion and what extinguishes it is crucial for building a strong connection between partners.
Renowned star Riley Reid, with her vast experience in the industry, has often shared insights into what enhances and hinders intimate moments.
Reid, born Ashley Matthews, has built an impressive career in adult entertainment, reportedly amassing $19 million (£15 million) and winning numerous accolades.
Her candid discussions on various platforms have provided audiences with a deeper understanding of attraction, connection, and the challenges of maintaining intimacy.
During a conversation on the Pillow Talk podcast, Reid emphasized the importance of foreplay and a gradual approach to intimacy.
“I personally like to start with clothes on. I don’t think that you should come in and start butt a** naked—like, drop your towel bulls***,” she stated.
“There’s no f***ing foreplay, or anything to play with,” she added, underscoring the importance of anticipation in physical relationships.
Beyond the physical aspects, Reid has been vocal about the emotional and psychological challenges that come with a career in the industry.
In a now-deleted 2020 video, she admitted that working in adult films can negatively impact personal relationships, making dating and intimacy difficult.
“A lot of times when people ask me if they should do p*rn, I tell them no,” Reid said.
“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.”
Her candid admission highlights the personal costs that many adult performers face, even after achieving financial success.
Reid has also opened up about her personal struggles in relationships, revealing how she has felt stigmatized by partners due to her profession.
She once recounted how an ex-boyfriend refused to kiss her after work, which left her feeling deeply hurt and ashamed.
“He made me feel like maybe I should quit [p*rn] and stuff,” she admitted, explaining how the judgment of others affected her self-worth.
These experiences shed light on the societal biases that industry professionals often encounter, both in personal and romantic relationships.
Despite these challenges, Reid has shared valuable advice for enhancing intimate experiences, stressing the importance of pacing and anticipation.
She encourages partners to “avoid any of the hyper-stimulating areas until almost the last possible moment” to build excitement.
This method, according to Reid, can lead to a much more intense and satisfying connection between partners.
However, amidst her various insights, Reid has pointed out one specific behavior that she finds particularly off-putting during intimate moments.
During an appearance on the Stiff Socks podcast, she revealed that neglecting oral hygiene is the biggest turn-off in the bedroom.
“I hate it when a guy doesn’t brush his teeth, he wants to kiss and he’s got some rank a** breath,” Reid confessed.
“That s**t kills the mood,” she added, stressing how crucial fresh breath is in maintaining attraction and intimacy.
She also revealed that this is the primary reason she dislikes morning s3x, as she finds the scent of stale breath “disgusting.”
Her advice is simple yet impactful—if you’re planning to get close with someone, a quick trip to the bathroom can make a significant difference.
Reid’s revelation sheds light on how even the smallest personal habits can significantly impact an intimate moment, providing a novel viewpoint on attraction.
