As a result I was investigated and if things had gone really badly I could have had mydaughter taken away. Fortunately, I live in "the valley" and attitudes are a bit more liberal here becuase it's so common. People here may not approve of it, but they have learned to live with it anmd almost accept it. It's almost as if when you are asked what you do "I have an internet business" it's automatically assumed that it's an adult business.

Everybody that knows me personally knows what I do and they are 100% supportive of it....those that aren't are no longer part of my life, because they were not true "friends" at all.

Three most common comments I get from people are:
1. "How's the website going???"
2. "You go GIRL!"
3. "Really?.....I'll check it out!"

Close 4th is "How was ______________ (fill in name of last convention)?"

Furthermore, I would just like to say that the way that we conduct ourselves personally reflects upon the industry as a whole. If we slink around acting ashamed of what we do it will give others the idea that even we believe that we are doing something wrong.
