A former adult star has called for pornography to be made illegal as she admitted the industry made her feel like she was doing ‘circus acts’.
American performer Lana Rhoades – real name Amara Maple – said porn is ‘100 per cent fake’ and revealed she is ‘pretty much asexual’ in real life.
The 26-year-old, who was only 19 when she began her brief eight-month stint in the industry, slammed pornography and said she doesn’t believe it’s ‘good for anyone’.
In a candid interview with The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast, Lana admitted she was ‘not mature enough’ to have made the plunge into adult performance as a teenager.

The 26-year-old (pictured last year), who was only 19 when she began her brief 8-month stint in the industry, slammed pornography and said she doesn’t believe it’s ‘good for anyone’
In a recent episode she told hosts Lauryn Evarts Bosstick and Michael Bosstick: ‘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”.’
Touching on the artificial nature of the work, she continued: ‘I don’t like having sex… I never hook up with people, I don’t find people attractive and I’ve always been like that. It’s not like there was a change after doing porn.’
The ex-performer also criticised the seemingly inherent nature of ‘having to have sex with people that you didn’t choose to have sex with’ as part of the job.
Lana also revealed that she found her quick fame from porn bizarre.
‘It’s crazy to make one decision when you’re 19 years old and…you know, become the biggest porn star in the world,’ she told the podcast.
The social media influencer – who also said the industry is ‘infested with drugs and alcohol abuse’ – revealed that the allure of a more glamorous lifestyle is what made her choose pornography.
She was particularly enchanted by the reality show The Girls Next Door (also known as The Girls of the Playboy Mansion) which followed the lives of Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends.
Lana – who explained that she works with Playboy now, calling it a ‘completely different brand’ from what it used to be – said: ‘I watched the show and I was like.. .their lives look so glamorous compared to mine…
‘I’m here trying to stop my sister from committing suicide everyday and I could be jumping out of a trampoline into a pool in this big mansion.’
By the time she turned 18, Lana explained porn felt like a logical step as she felt you couldn’t make a career out of glamour modeling by then.
However, her introduction to work made her realise how ‘inexperienced’ she was, as she revealed she had ‘only slept with one person at this point’.
‘For some reason I ever comprehended that to do porn you actually have to have sex with people,’ she explained.
However Lana added that while she very quickly realised pornography isn’t for her, she doesn’t regret her choices despite not being ‘super proud of her past’.
Lana now designs clothing and lingerie while raising her nine-month-old son, whose father’s identity is not known.
