        I try to hangout w/ people outside of the industry, but I think I freak them out when I tell them I like to crank call the hookers, on Craig?s list.

          I am in the same boat, but I dont know if its because of my work, or maybe because I have kids now, and do not have time to hang out with my friends like I used to.

                  alot of people in this biz pretend like they are your friends and are actually just acquaintences. the number of true friends i have in this biz is very small. thank god for my dj career and the friends i've made outside of the adult space. i think thats all i'll say on that one. ;)

                      I don't hang out with anyone in the industry. I am not exactly in an area rich with them (that are public about it anyway).

                      I surround myself with successful people though.

                            That is very true, if I suddenly lost all my traffic, it wouldn't surprise me to see a lot of people just not bother to talk to me anymore. I would say the best friends I have in this business are the ones I don't do any business with at all in fact.

                                It seems to be easier to associate with those in the industry.
                                We have friends outside but at some stage they all wanted in. hahaha
                                The friends that we have kept are those that don't judge us about
                                what we do. I'm happy with those that I surround myself with,
                                I couldn't ask for better friends and or biz coleagues.
                                So when we gonna hang out next RogerV?

                                              i have about an equal amount of friends in the industry and out of the industry

                                              i have very few friends though, i don't let many people in

                                              i have a shit ton of aquaintances though

                                                      Interestin' questions and some very interestin' answers.

                                                      We (the wife and I) have a lot of industry acquaintances...and a few close local friends in the industry. Generally we find most BDSM/fetish people are rather more, well...publically flamboyant than we are, so its rare when we find personal friends that are more 'normal' in appearance.

                                                      We're not overly social much of the time, though...interferes with work mostly.
