Neyleen Ashley, 34, is a recovered ‘sex addict’ and a model for OnlyFans. Ashley complains that real-life sexual encounters are unsavoury and that the men she encounters are uninterested in establishing genuine connections.

After her last break-up, an OnlyFans model swore off sex and said “no man deserves” to treat her. Neyleen Ashley claims that she finds real-life sexual encounters less than savoury despite having thousands of online followers.

Ashley, who has 2.5 million followers on Instagram (@neyleenashley), says her celibacy journey is also a vehicle for inner peace. Despite earning over £50,000 monthly on the adult platform and having a “high sex drive”, the 34-year-old will not break her vow.

My ex said he didn’t want to be a dad or a husband and was not living in his truth; I decided to live as a celibate,” the model from Florida, US, told Nude PR. Ultimately, I had to scramble for a place to stay after leaving him’s place while going to work and caring for my two children.

“I no longer enjoy and experience the euphoria of sex.” The model’s emotional turmoil was exacerbated by a recent tragic loss in her family, which caused her ex to flee instead of offering his assistance.

During her fourth month of pregnancy, she revealed that she was expecting a daughter, but unfortunately, the baby did not survive.

Historically, sex had brought excitement to Neyleen, but now she is concerned about whom she shares her bed with – and if they are “using” her. She said, “I am afraid of people who are only interested in using me for sex and never get to know me as a person or my heart.”.

Her celibacy vow has also helped her identify sexual urges that might otherwise have fed into her “sex addiction” – and develop a personal relationship with herself. She said, “I was a sex addict for a long period of time.”.

“Due to my masturbation at home, I couldn’t leave the house and had to have sexual release multiple times per day; otherwise, I would have been unable to function.”

“I couldn’t go about my day without taking a puff of it or function without it. I also got dopamine hits from pursuing men, the sexting, and the pictures back and forth, but it left me hungry since I was settling for crumbs from them instead of loving myself.

“Taking the time I used to give to others, I am now practising self-healing, self-love, and self-soothing, and giving myself the energy I used to give them.” Although Neyleen has not had sex for some time, she maintains that she hasn’t given up on finding something “more meaningful.”

She said: “I find it [dating] difficult because I instantly tell anyone remotely interested in me that I’m celibate, but when we hang out, it always ends up that they want more.

“They try to convince me that my celibacy journey will end with them, that I won’t be able to resist – but I’m a Leo, and if there’s one thing about Leos, it’s that we’re hard-headed.

In return, I will show kindness and understanding to others. It’s normal for me to want to give in sometimes, but I don’t have to feel like a chore to these men who don’t care about me. “Even though I’d like to stay celibate forever, I enjoy this new journey more than sex.”
