    Do you tell people that you are in the Porn industry?

    In response to the post How old are you?

    I've realized that alot of us are very young.

    Alot of people I have talked to don't seem to realize how lucrative online porn can be. They say that there are "millions" of porn sites..can't make money... blah blah blah..

    Do you tell people you are in the porn business?

    So what do you say?

      Depends on who is asking. There is a time and a place for everything... and sometimes its not a great idea to tell people what you do for a living...

                          Never tried to really hide that fact from anyone.

                          Take Luck!

                                      I was at a funeral this morning, and my mother was introducing me to many people that have not seen me since I was a child.

                                      The work question seems to come up a lot. Not sure how i'd handle it if didnt still have my 9-5.

                                          I thought of many things you could say... Internet Business, Internet Marketing Business, Webmaster... but that's all gravy until they ask more about it in detail.

                                                  I just started dating this girl outside the biz and was honest with her from the start on what I do. (I was actually wearing my PornKings.com hat when I met her...haha..) She is always asking questions about it......I think she thinks its cool.

                                                      There are some you tell and some you dont. When I dont want to tell that particular person, I tell them I am in the technology business.

                                                          people who aren't in the industry usually make it out to be more than it is. even if your job is porn, it's still a job.

                                                              It depends who ask's me! And if I care and if it will affect anybody I know. For example, I don't want to fuck with my roommates relationship with his parents, and since they are cool with me, I've never told them that I was in the adult industry. Number 1 reason, their Jahova's Witnesses (Spellcheck ).

                                                              There are a few reason why I won't tell a few people, but everybody in my family knows!

                                                                                                          There's love and hate, theres live or die.
                                                                                                          When sickness comes I must decide:
                                                                                                          When feelings go, theres suicide.

                                                                                                                                  You always get the stupid questions like....
                                                                                                                                  Is that legal?, Can you get me laid? etc etc
                                                                                                                                  sometimes i think it'd be easier to say 'i rob banks for a living'

There is a time and a place for everything... and sometimes its not a great idea to tell people what you do for a living...

But then again my parents don't know, they think I'm a web designer, luckily they don't know how to use a computer!

Only my wife knows. Even my closest friends aren't told because they are all just stupid enough, or get drunk enough, to say something in front of my kids. Wife was really against it until I started making $200-$300 a day in just a month or 2.

Thats why they get excited about naked pics posted or naked girls at industry shows. lol I see naked models up close at least once a week so its no big thrills for me lol. We tell everyone except my aunt and uncle and my parents friends out of respect for my parents.

For one, I'm in college. So my friends don't see me as an entrepreneur they see me as someone who sits infront of the computer. They all doubt me simply because they don't understand. Now, I tell all my good buddies and half of them get on my site very often. Even at masturbation time (3 am)... They all think it's cool but it's kind of a joke too.

                                                                                                                                                                                      My parents know and support it strongly.

                                                                                                                                                                                      but, when I make new friends I'm afraid that if I tell them they might call me out about it infront of people that might become very judgemental towards me. I don't want to have a bad reputation because some people don't understand.

If it's a friend I just "sell porn", a religious zelout I "Sell naked titties, and hardcore gangbang video's to horny people worldwide".

                                                                                                                                                                                          I find it really gets rid of the losers quickly so I can concentrate on talking with the cool people.
