Rolling Stone Interviews Amber Lynn re: Mental Health in the Adult Industry

Amber was recently approached by Rolling Stone to share her thoughts on mental health, and what she sees as a problematic modern trend, in the adult entertainment industry:

“We are in a crisis in the adult industry. It’s almost becoming like an epidemic,” says Amber Lynn, a porn star who has been performing since 1983 – far longer than many of the industry’s young starlets have been alive. “Our [ideological] differences are not as important as our survival and our future.”

The piece also mentions recent tragedies, such as the deaths of Olivia Lua and August Ames, and how these events are likely part of a much larger problem. Read the full article here.
