Former adult film actress Lana Rhoades has lifted the veil on what really goes on behind the scenes of porn films, revealing they are "100% fake."
During a recent sit-down discussion on The Skinny Confidential podcast, the 26-year-old explained why she left the porn industry, despite being one of its biggest stars.
Hosts, Lauren Evarts Bosstick and Michael Bosstick, had initially asked Rhoades - whose real name is Amara Maple - why she decided to enter the adult entertainment industry in the first place, to which Rhoades replied: "The whole reason why I thought that it was a good idea was because when I had these things going on at home when I was a kid, I found the show called 'The Girls Next Door' of Playboy."
"I work with Playboy now and it's a completely different brand than it was then, but I watched the show and I was like: 'Oh my Gosh Kenda and Holly their lives look so glamorous compared to mine [...] I could be jumping on a trampoline into a pool in a mansion,'" she explained.
Rhoades continued: "By the time that I was 18, glamour modeling and Playboy wasn't really a thing where you could make money anymore, so I guess the next thing was porn [...]," before she added that she had thought at the time: "That's how I'm going to get this lifestyle that I want."
The mom-of-one, who will not reveal the father of her child, but has said he is an NBA player, per The Daily Mail - was then asked: "Let's blow the cover off porn - how real is it?"
The former adult actress' answer, which was subsequently uploaded by a user on TikTok, was nothing new but still interesting all the same.
"Umm, 100% fake," Rhoades answered.
"It's like circus acts. As a performer, when I was doing it, it was like what face can I make, what sound can I make, what can I do in this movie to make it the best one?"
Then, the content creator added: "I don't even like having sex - I'm pretty much asexual."
Lauren and Michael seemed visibly shocked by this statement, with Lauren asking Rhoades: "Wait, you're asexual in real life?"
"Yeah, I never hook up with people, I don't find people attractive, and I've always been like that. It's not like there's a change after doing porn," she said.
"But, going back to porn, I don't think that it's good for anyone - I think they should make it illegal. I think the porn industry is infested with drugs and alcohol abuse, and it can definitely drive people to that," Rhoades shockingly revealed.
Despite only being in the porn industry for just eight months, Rhoades' career skyrocketed, with the young mom - who has over 16 million Instagram followers - revealing she was: "Still number one on all porn sites."
"It's crazy to make one decision when you're 19 years old, and then become the biggest pornstar in the world," the now-clothing designer said.
