Former adult film star Lana Rhoades has said she wants porn to be 'illegal' and claimed that drugs and alcohol are rife in the industry.
Rhoades, 26, has been pretty outspoken since quitting the industry she joined at 19 for just eight months.
"I don't think it's good for anybody," Rhoades said, explaining that her perception before and after doing porn is wildly different.
Rhoades, who became a mother in January this year, made the comments during a recent appearance on The Skinny Confidential podcast.

Speaking about her experience, Rhoades said she didn't know what she was getting herself in for when she started porn.
She said: "I also had only slept with one person at this point. So, I was very sexually inexperienced.
"That's why and for whatever reason I never comprehended like to do porn you actually have to have sex with people.
"And very, very quickly I realised this isn't for me."
She added that she's 'pretty much asexual' and doesn't 'even like having sex'.
Watch what Rhoades had to say here:
She quickly came to realise that porn was a 'job' and that she didn't have a choice in who she had sex with.
"I mean, essentially you're having to have sex with people that you didn't choose to have sex with that you might not find attractive, you might actually think that they're disgusting and you have to have sex with them because it's your job," she explained.
She went on to add that she thinks the industry puts young women in a vulnerable position, adding: "I think that the porn industry is infested with drugs and alcohol abuse and it definitely can drive people to that."
Drugs and alcohol aside, she claimed making adult films can mess with young women's psyches, saying: "How should a 19-year-old girl be put in that position having to have sex with people that they don't really don't want to touch their body at all?"
She even went as far as saying porn should be outlawed altogether, explaining: "I just I don't think that it's good for anyone they should make it illegal."
Rhoades went on to warn that making it in porn wasn't the norm for a lot of people and that the experience of other girls she knew meant that their videos were 'on the internet for their family to see they make no money'.
Since quitting the adult film injury, Rhoades has gone on to have further success making clothes and lingerie.
