The star said she is "craving" other things
Porn star Adriana Chechik is quitting the industry to explore new career opportunities as she feels she has 'no notion of the outside world'. Chechik, from Pennsylvania, became a huge hit after starting her career around the age of 22. https://www.instagram.com/p/CefyPVbLthk/ Since then, she has racked up over 3.8million followers on Instagram alone. But the now-30-year-old thinks her time in the industry is up. Speaking about her time filming porn while speaking on the Holly Randall Unfiltered podcast, Chechik said: "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." https://www.instagram.com/p/CWeWIXzv981/ Chechik said that, while she found filming porn "empowering", she hopes to be out of the industry in around a year and a half.
"I just have to get everyone to see me as something more first," she added.
It was a recent epiphany that encouraged the porn star to end her career, in which she realised she has 'no notion of the outside world'.
She said: "I was craving intellectuality and learning, and I just wasn't getting it. I didn't have any notion of the outside world.
"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."
So, what role can we expect to find Chechik in next?
Well, despite the fact that, in a Reddit Q&A last year, she said she would be "building prosthetics or working in robotics" if not in the porn industry, Chechik is actually hoping to go into something entirely different.
Speaking on the podcast, she said: "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 her career change, Chechik does not regret her time in the porn industry.
She said: “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.”
