Lana Rhoades speaks out about real reason why she stopped filming adult films

Lana Rhoades said it was taking a severe toll on her

Lana Rhoades has spoken about the reasons she had for quitting the adult industry.

The former porn star has since tried to shine a light on conditions in the industry and spent eight months working in it.

Speaking on the Impaulsive podcast in 2020, she explained why she wanted to leave the adult industry.

Rhoades was asked about developing an aversion to bodily fluids, explaining that she'd seen some of the 'most disgusting' things possible and didn't wish to continue.

She said: "I just don't really want to have sex with a random bunch of people. I don't think I actually would have been able to do it, honestly."

In the past, she's said that she wished that all of her past videos could be deleted, and spoken out about the severe toll being in the adult industry took on her.

She said: "I had to or it probably would have led to that point of killing myself.

"Because towards the end of it, I started having panic attacks before scenes because I really didn’t want to do them and I didn’t know how to say ‘no I don’t want to do this'.

"So there really was no choice for me; it really was either ‘probably going to kill myself’ or just do anything to make something else work."

Rhoades also said she 'did not get paid s**t' in the adult industry, saying she had about $100,000 when she left the adult industry and had since gone on to become a multi-millionaire.

She said she'd been paid just $1,200 for each of her scenes, and described having to speak to a therapist over some of the things she was made to do and 'didn't know how to say no' to.

She explained that when she joined the adult industry at the age of 19 she didn't know what she was getting in for, and had only had sex with one person at that point.

It wasn't long before she realised it really wasn't something she wanted to be doing and described herself as 'pretty much asexual' later on.

Rhoades has also said in the past that she'd like to see the industry she left behind come crashing down, saying she wanted it to be 'illegal' and doesn't think it's 'good for anybody'.

Her perception of the adult industry was very different after she'd been through it herself and left compared to going in.
