YO DONA spoke with an adult film performer, an intimacy coordinator and a psychologist specialized in the porn industry to explore the importance of actresses' mental health. In 2018, in just three months, three porn actresses took their lives, and as actress Ginger Banks explained, the stigma that still plagues the industry today is responsible for the mental health of the performers.
"The way society views and treats porn stars makes us more depressed. It's hard to feel like we don't belong or that we're second-class citizens," said actress María Riot.
