Exactly. All of my close friends, my boyfriend, and even my mother know what I do, but I feel like sharing my business with certain family members and aquaintances would probably open up a can of worms that I'd rather not even deal with. Even though I don't find anything wrong with what I'm doing, some people might, and it's not worth the hassle.

Also, I'm sure other female webmasters have to deal with this - I pick and choose who I tell, because a lot of people are stupid and can't differentiate running porn sites from being a porn star, and they start treating me like I'm some sex-crazed nympho slut who has orgies with pornstars every day. It's annoying, because there's probably no other business where people completely assume that your job defines you entirely. I assume that it's 1000x worse for actual porn girls (people who can't seem to realize that having sex on camera for your job =/= wanting to fuck every greasy loser who recognizes you), and considering how annoying I find it as a simple webmaster, I'd probably want to punch people constantly if I was actual porn talent.
