Reid is one of the most well-known faces in the adult industry and has 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.
The 33-year-old has been very open and honest about her feelings on porn, having been in the industry since she was 19.
Though as she's gotten older, it seems her views on the adult industry have changed as she no longer performs with men, and has some regret on her decision to become an adult film actor.
The pornstar, 33, started performing in the adult industry when she was 19.
In an April interview on the Shadow Banned podcast, Reid - who became a parent in 2022 - spoke more in depth about how getting married to Pasha Petkuns in 2021 has changed her outlook.
On settling down with her husband and welcoming her daughter, the adult star said: "It's been really fun, it's definitely been a different identity process of me trying to figure out who this new version of myself is.
"And so like I remember having my identity crisis when I was in porn, being like 'who am I?' and like 'what is this?'.
"And so now I'm trying to renavigate myself within, trying to parent as well as be like a business person and so that's been really interesting."

Explaining why she no longer loves shooting porn, Riley added: "Yeah, as well as like trying to adapt to the adult world because, to be honest, I don't love shooting content now that I have like a c-section scar cos it puts like a date and a time stamp."
She continued to say: "I don't care, but like I only care in the sense of where I worry that if it bothers her (daughter) in the future then it's going to bother me.
"If it doesn't bother her, then it doesn't bother me but I'm like, I know that there's a time stamp so I can't lie and be like 'that was all before you'."
Riley has always been open in interviews about her career and during an appearance on It's Daniel Mac in 2022, the actor also opened up about her going-rate over the years.

"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."Featured Image Credit: Instagram/@letrileylive/YouTube/Shadow Banned

Riley Reid explains real reason she stopped filming adult content with male co-stars
The adult film star decided to take her career in a new direction after being in the industry since 2010
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.

The adult film actress has accumulated a massive net worth during her time in the industry (Instagram/@letrileylive)
According to Caclub India, the performer has an estimated net worth of a whopping $19 million (£15 million).
A massive source of income for Reid is OnlyFans.
She is said to be one of the highest earning creators on the platform raking in $25,000 (£19,900) every day.
She also sells videos on her own website for $35 (£28) a pop, which is estimated to total an annual revenue of $2 million (£1.6 million).
On top of this, the actress also earns $800,000 (£637,000) per year in royalties from other websites and runs her own production company Forbidden Fruits Films.
However, her incredible success isn't the norm in the porn industry.
Earlier this year, former porn star Lana Rhoades shared the shocking amount she was paid per scene during an appearance on the Curious Mike YouTube talk show.
Despite reaching fame during her eight-month stint in the job, her bank account didn’t reflect her popularity, with the actress making a measly $1,200 (£972) for each scene she filmed.Featured Image Credit: Instagram/@letrileylive

A Belgian regulator has also argued that online platforms, like X, should not have adult content on it.
Karim Ibourki, who leads Belgium's French-speaking audiovisual council, said: "We’re up against giants that still don’t give a damn. That is the reality."
Amid calls to ban explicit content from the platform, X has updated us with its new policy.
It said: "You may share consensually produced and distributed adult nudity or sexual behaviour, provided it's properly labeled and not prominently displayed.
"We believe that users should be able to create, distribute, and consume material related to sexual themes as long as it is consensually produced and distributed.
"Sexual expression, whether visual or written, can be a legitimate form of artistic expression.

In a bid to stop children from accessing adult content, X has asked its creators to 'please adjust your media settings'.
"Doing so places all your images and videos behind a content warning that needs to be acknowledged before your media can be viewed," it added.
"You can also add a one-time content warning on individual posts. If you continue to fail marking your posts, we will adjust your account settings for you.

The OnlyFans creator, originally from Nottingham, claims to have bedded 122 US college students during Spring Break this year in Cancun, just to film content.
And the 25-year-old has explained the reasons why men cheat on women.
She told the Daily Star: "It’s no secret women moan a lot.
"What they don’t understand is all that moaning is unattractive and making their men look elsewhere for fun and pleasure.
"Women, especially as they get older, become lazy in the bedroom and think a pillow princess performance will keep their husbands happy.
"When in fact that’s when I find them booking me for the weekend."

"All their nagging about pots not being done is resulting in me being bent over their kitchen worktops whilst they’re out.
"I used to blame the men for cheating but since being a sex worker, I blame the woman.
"Men look elsewhere when they’re bored, so stop boring them."
Bonnie, who has been out in America, says she will return home in September, just in time for freshers.
"I’m making this event huge, billboards, train stations, trams, etcetera, all with my face," she said on her plans to visit the likes of Manchester, Nottingham and Derby in a couple of months.

Meanwhile, a New York-based dating expert - who goes by the name 'Ask Kimberly' on TikTok, has previously opened up on the sneaky ways men cheat.
"So all of a sudden, they start going to the gym, or wearing cologne, or buying new underwear for themselves," Kimberly explained.
"The reason why cheaters do this is because essentially, they're back on the market.
"They're putting their best foot forward for someone else when they've kind of given up on trying to impress you."
Another thing cheaters tend to do is 'phone guarding'.
"When someone is cheating their phone is literally their lifeline," Kimberley added.
"If they're cheating on you, there's almost a 100 percent chance they are texting and exchanging DMs with this person and the phone houses all of that evidence.
"And they know like the minute you get your hands on that phone or see something on their phone, it's over."
