An Australian woman who has become a millionaire from creating adult content said it 'destroyed' her personal dating life.
Maddi Miller is an adult content creator and explained she had been in a relationship when she started getting into that line of work.
Speaking to news.com.au, she told them that working in the adult industry gave her the chance to 'secure my future', but her boyfriend at the time didn't react well.

She says that when she started out-earning her partner, he came to see her as 'competition' and it changed their relationship dynamic.
She went on to say that she'd seen similar things in other men after finding out she made more money than they did.
"I feel like it hurts their egos," she said of the reactions she'd had from men to her millionaire status.

"They still have this expectation that, as the man, they should hold the financial power in a relationship. I obviously threaten their sense of masculinity in that way.
"It’s always been ironic to me that I’ve never had more men frothing over me on the internet than I do now and yet in real life, I have less going on than ever before."
She told the outlet she'd prefer to be single than 'with a man that doesn't support my career', but does dream of meeting someone who is successful by themselves and doesn't feel insecure about how much money she makes.
Describing herself as a 'total romantic', she said her dating life was 'non-existent' but hoping for that to change.

She's not the only adult content creator who has spoken out about the impact the career can have on one's dating life.
An OnlyFans model called Alicia Davis said that previous partners 'tried to force me to stop doing certain aspects of my job' and hit out at people 'pushing their insecurities and trust issues on to me'.
She also ended up coming up with a strict criteria that people wanting to date her had to meet.

Meanwhile, another OnlyFans star said she'd been told by men they wouldn't date her 'because of your history and your past'.
"We all have a past and we all have a history," she said.
"The only difference is, I f**king filmed mine. Mine's on camera."
It is possible to do, as Riley Reid tied the knot and had a kid, she just wishes people would stop leaving 'mean comments about my baby'.
