I’m at a point in my career where I really want to humanize myself and allow the world to see there’s more to me than my adult videos. I want to show… - Riley Reid

Coronavirus has had a huge impact worldwide affect almost every business including the adult industry. From commercial sex workers such as dominatrix to more mainstream pornography, we too have been affected greatly. Since our work includes being up close and extremely personal with our co-workers, production has been shut down. Leading to a loss of work for not only the actors/actresses but also directors, production crew and make up artists.

I use my Twitter to sell content and make money. A lot of the times you won’t see me posting about my dog because I do try to stay on brand. I understand why the common person who follows me on social media would put me in a very hyper sexual category. They’re looking at my job. They’re looking at Riley Reid. I want to attract people who will hopefully understand this is just my brand, but sadly we’re not in a world of intellectuals. I think a lot of people don’t look deeper; so many people are just surface-lookers. It’s an emotional thing. I struggle with it when it comes to making friends or dating but I also try to meet people in real life, which is also sometimes a battle because people meet me though Riley Reid.

I know that myself personally, I don’t recommend anyone to get into porn because it’s really tough and it’s really hard and I feel like you really have to have a strong mindset and perspective.You have to have a lot of self-love because there’s so much hate coming at you. People are just clawing at you so you have to really be confident in who you are before you open the doors to allow people who have no idea who you are, who have never met you, know nothing about you, who literally just watched you have sex, then judge you and complain about you.
