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.
It's not just female webmasters. Although my friends don't assume I'm actually "part of the action" so to speak (as people might with a female) I do have to explain to them that most of my work is programming and statistics... I don't spend each day on a set with hawaiian shirts, cuban cigars, and giggling naked girls running around.
