She entered the world of adult entertainment in 2016 when she was only 19 years old. Though her time in the industry was short-lived—she left just a year later. Lana quickly became one of the most recognized faces in the business.
By 2019, her popularity had skyrocketed. She was officially the most searched adult performer on PornHub, racking up a staggering 345 million views in that single year alone.
Today, she’s embraced a very different lifestyle. She’s working as a model, podcaster, and all-around content creator. Perhaps most importantly, she’s now a devoted mom to her three-year-old son.
During a candid conversation with Julia Fox last year, the two women bonded over their journeys into motherhood, choosing celibacy, and their experiences with platforms like OnlyFans.
Lana responded thoughtfully: “I’ve been celibate, so I don’t even do that.”
Fox also shared a bit of her own story, revealing that she had chosen celibacy for about two and a half years. She said it all began after giving birth, when something just fundamentally shifted inside her.
Fox followed up with a more intimate question, asking: “Do you think motherhood profoundly changed the way that you view men and the way you view sex and the way you view yourself?”
Rhoades explained that her transition into celibacy wasn’t something she planned out or even really anticipated—it was more of a natural shift that unfolded on its own.
The conversation eventually turned toward deeper topics like intimacy and emotional connection. That’s when Fox asked if Lana had ever wondered whether she might be attracted to women.
“I wish that I was. I wish that I liked someone. But no, vagina just doesn’t do it for me,” Rhoades replied openly and honestly.
“That’s why it’s hard leaving sex work and finding other income that supports your lifestyle,” she said, shedding light on how difficult it can be to find consistent and well-paying opportunities after leaving the adult industry.
