Welcome back to Adult All Access with another edition of the Featured Creator of the Week. This week we are thrilled to jump into spring with one of our favorite up-and-coming performers, Ria Bentley. Ria is absolutely rocking the adult entertainment industry, having worked with top talent and been nominated for numerous awards in her journey thus far. Ria took home the coveted award for “Trans Performer of the Year” from the Trans Erotica Awards just last month.
Having joined the adult industry only two years ago, Bentley is making herself known for her enthusiasm and insatiable appetite for more. Her pleasure is a sight to behold, and Ria’s content ranges, offering a variety of delicious sins to sample – check out her Pornhub page for a peek into her offerings, and subscribe to her OnlyFans for $15 to see the spiciest full-length content available from Ria.
“Your Favorite Versatile Bi-Transgirl” is based in Texas, but available for paid bookings in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. To find out more about Ria, read on, and visit RiaBentley.com.
How and when did you get started in the adult entertainment industry?
I started off posting little clips and pics on Fetlife. I slowly started getting noticed and decided to setup my OnlyFans in March of 2023. I did my first real collab in April of that year, and haven’t stopped since. My first real studio shoot was with Trans Erotica in October of 2023.
2. What advice would you give to yourself when you were new, if you could send your past self a message with the knowledge you have now?
My advice from day one, was to be consistent, work hard, and network with performers and industry folks as much as possible. What I didn’t realize is how important patience was. These things don’t happen overnight for 95% of performers. It’s always about putting in the hard work… the recognition will come later. Unfortunately, this industry tends to be very cliquey. I don’t fit into the stereotypical mold of most trans performers, so unfortunately a lot of the performers and studios don’t seem to want to give me a chance. I always try to treat everyone, regardless of followers or resume, the way I would like to be treated. I think being kind and considerate to every is incredibly important. That doesn’t mean you have to work with people you’re not attracted to, but at least replying back to everyone really say as lot about you as an individual.
3. Who inspired you when you first started, if anyone, and who inspires you now – or who is someone you would maybe like to work with in the future? What attracts you to them?
Like so many trans performers, I was drawn to Natalie Mars. I think she brought something fresh to the trans scene with her refreshing look, and she always shines on camera.
4. What has been your favorite scene, shoot, show, or event of your career, and what made it so memorable?
That’s nearly an impossible question to answer. I was fortunate enough to work with my favorite male talent, Sir Maxximus, aka Maxx Jenkins, as one of my first collabs. We’ve shot numerous scenes to date, but one of my all-time favorite scenes is still our first one where I’m dressed as a slutty French Maid and come into his hotel to clean his room. I feel like everything fell together beautifully, and the sex looks amazing in that scene.
5. Given this line of work can sometimes blur the lines between personal and professional life, how do you maintain a healthy work-life balance?
Excellent question. That is so true. I learned early into my career how important it is for your mental health to take little breaks. Sometimes that can mean taking a week off, other times it’s as simple as going out and having fun with friends, and other times just being sure to make time for your personal hobbies. For me, I enjoy running and exercising.
6. How has being in the adult entertainment industry shaped your perspective on relationships, intimacy, and personal boundaries?
So still being relatively new to the scene, I am still hyper focused on achieving various goals such as securing more awards and nominations, and getting more studio work. At present, dating for me is not in the cards. Once I achieve more things, I hope to get back into the dating scene. I do worry that it will be hard to find a non performer who will accept me being a pornstar. But right now, my hard work comes first.
7. What makes you smile on a daily basis – whether a side hobby/project, an important place, or a familiar face in your life?
Staying fit and running brings a smile to my face and it’s certainly my main hobby/escape. I am very close with my mom and brother, so we do video calls almost daily. I am fortunate to have my ex-girlfriend as a close friend, and she supports me 100%. Music is also very important to me, and that certainly brings a smile to my face. I also really enjoy cooking and make dinner almost nightly.
8. What are your career goals for the next 2-5 years?
Another great question! My current plan is to keep focused on my brand, work with as many performers and studios as I can, and continue to grow my fanbase and earn more. I realize we all can’t be in front of the camera forever, so ideally I’d like to be behind the camera in some capacity, whether that be producing trans or bi content, or editing videos for studios. We’ll have to see what the future holds.
9. Do you have any exciting news or plans in the coming months for folks to look forward to?
I will be going live with a Free OnlyFans page in May of this year. I currently have a $15 subscription platform, but I think there’s a market for a Free page. That way people can pick and choose the scenes they really want to see for a small price tag vs $15 monthly fee. I will continue to release a brand new full length scene to all my platforms, and am sitting on a treasure trove of some of the hottest scenes to date!
10. What do you hope is “your legacy,” or the thing(s) you are best known for in the adult entertainment industry?
I ultimately would love for anyone that watches porn to know the name Ria Bentley, and say she is/was one of the great Trans MILF performers. More importantly, I hope anyone who has ever met or worked with me, holds me in high regard, and considers me a very kind and loving woman, who doesn’t have any attitude and is a genuine caring lady.
