Star talks the upsides of virtual reality in AVN interview.

Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of speaking with star Riley Reyes. In the business for five years, she's witnessed how new technologies have quickly changed adult content and how performers engage with fans.

In the video below, Reyes talks about what she enjoys most about filming VR porn [NSFW] and her AVN nomination for Best Virtual Reality Sex Scene with Naughty America [NSFW].

The interview was filmed at the 2019 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas in January. A transcript is posted underneath the video.

TRANSCRIPT:

Hi, I'm Riley Reyes and this year I'm in one of the award-nominated new VR scenes called Fidelio from Naughty America [NSFW]. It's sort of an Eyes Wide Shut-style penthouse party with three sexy women in masks and one lucky guy who gets to hook up with all of us.

My favorite thing about shooting in VR is that I get to create this world of intimacy. There's no other porn where the viewer can experience me coming up and whispering in their ear and there's something really beautiful about that.

I just want thank my fans for being involved in this process, for coming along with me as I try out VR, as I try subscription, social media, as I experiment. Leading you on these new journeys, you've been there and you followed me, and some of you even found me through that, and it's been such a gift to be a part of all of it.
