What Does Ashley Mathews Say It Is Like to Date Her?

at 1:17:00

From the episode: Ashley Mathews (aka Riley Reid) - Inside the world of professional pornography

On The Portal, Ashley Mathews, also known as Riley Reid, says the men who date her in public pay for the association. She expects the joke that everyone has seen her naked, and she says almost nobody is secure enough for that hit to the male ego. Every man she has dated publicly, she says, gets aggressive harassment in his direct messages. The comments are brutal enough that she thinks those men are still dealing with them after a breakup, because the couple had been a public image. That fear is one reason she says she is afraid to have children. She worries they would be shamed for their whole lives.
