Porn star Adriana Chechik, says she wants to quit the industry despite feeling “empowered” by sex.

She recently pivoted away from some of her X-rated performances for streaming video game sessions for fans on Twitch.

But after getting nearly 1 million followers on the streaming platform, the 30-year-old entertainer said that she is quitting porn once and for all when asked about it on the Holly Randall Unfiltered podcast.

“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 said before adding that she hopes within a “year and a half,” she won’t have to shoot sex scenes.

“I just have to get everyone to see me as something more first.”

Adriana Chechik also explained her surprise decision and said she felt that she didn’t have any “notion of the outside world,” having worked in the industry for most of her adult life.

“I was craving intellectuality and learning, and I just wasn’t getting it… I didn’t have any notion of the outside world,” she explained.

When she began streaming on Twitch, Adriana said that she started having fresh conversations with people outside of porn, which helped her see that she could explore other things.

“The experiences and conversations on there 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.

When it comes to future endeavors, Chechik said she wants to get into acts of service for people.

“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.”

Despite this, Adriana Chechik insisted that she was attracted to the adult industry because she felt “empowered.”

“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,” she continued.

Adriana Chechik has had quite a few scandals during her career, including the bullying of Lana Rhoades, which lead to Lana Rhoades leaving porn for good.

In 2014 was accused of being a racist after an appearance on the popular Howard Stern radio show, saying she refused to have sex with black men.

At the 2019 AVN awards, Adriana Chechick performed a live sex act with another female performer on the show floor. This would cause the Nevada Gambling commission to open an investigation on the show itself as well as the hotel where the show took place, putting the entire show at risk of getting banned.

And of course, we can’t forget the not one, not two but three different public urination scandals, one of which took place on the Las Vegas Strip and the one where she pee’d on an escalator which caused a lot of drama for her.

Then, of course, we can’t forget the time she pee’d in an Uber and then bragged about it on Twitter.

But hey, I guess to each his own, right?
