Porn star Adriana Chechik explains why she's quitting the industry
The adult film actor spoke candidly about her relationship with the industry and where she sees herself in the future
We can imagine the majority of you lot are, *ahem*, pretty big fans of porn star Adriana Chechik, so tissues at the ready, folks, because soon you might not be able to watch her do her thing.
Speaking in a new podcast, the adult film actor spoke candidly about her relationship with the industry and where she sees herself in the future.
Spoiler alert: it’s probably not going to be on your laptop anymore.

Speaking on the Holly Randall Unfiltered podcast, Chechik – who now has more than three million Instagram followers – confessed she wants to explore new career opportunities, but did say she found porn ‘empowering’.
"I will say Twitch has been the best blessing for me because I, for the first time in my life, was on a platform… I was just somewhere where people were valuing me for me," she began, adding that she hopes in ‘a year and a half’s time’ she’ll no longer be working in porn.
"I just have to get everyone to see me as something more first," she shared.
Chechik said she recently realised she has ‘no notion of the outside world’, which is why she wants to move onto pastures new.
"I was craving intellectuality and learning, and I just wasn't getting it… I didn't have any notion of the outside world," Chechik said.
"The experiences and conversations on [Twitch] have made me realise, 'you're more than just how you've fetishised yourself,' because I fetishised myself; it also gave me the understanding that I am more than this," she added.
So what’s next for Chechik? Life coaching, apparently.
"I want to get into life coaching. I call it kindness coaching. I want to get into helping people realise how kind the world is."
But Chechik suggested she certainly doesn’t regret the career that shot her to stardom, adding: “I feel empowered; it's really hot to control a bunch of men.
“I'm in a situation where not only I'm empowered because everyone is worshipping me, but you have a whole room of people collectively, including the director who want you to have a good time.”
Last year, when taking part in a Reddit Q&A, Chechik was asked what career she’d likely have gone into if she hadn’t started doing porn, and her answer was a far cry from the world of life coaching.
“[I] would actually be building prosthetics or working in robotics,” she said.
