    How do people react when they find out you're in the porn business?

    How do people react when they find out? Oddly enough, the few girls that know seem oddly turned on, and the guys always want to know how they can start working in the biz. I've yet to meet many people who look down on what I do, but there are tons who almost seem to admire it.

    What kinds of experiences have you had?

      I often get girls asking me what can they do to make money.

      Other times they are shocked that I'm doing it.

      Then I show them how much money im making with it and they are impressed.

      It ain't like I doing porn for a full time job. Side cash to party on.

              Hmm, the few girls that knows it doesn't seem to care ... or they're openly turned on about it.

              I've not had much bad responses, but then again I'm a freak and I figure so are my friends.

                  Same. I talked to a real estate lady the other day who was really interested. It was weird, she had kids and stuff, but she kept asking me all these questions. Most people are interested, some are turned off, and the rest don't care.

                      Oddly enough, I live in the upper class section of this city.

                      It seems as if I'm not the only one making this observation.

                          I get a mixture of laughs (embarrassed on their part) and interest. Although I'd say its less passé over here in the UK.

                                      when do people here realize they are not in the 'porn business'.

                                      You guys are just nerds behind a keyboard.. nothing to act tough about.

                                          The reactions I get are pretty similar, actually

                                              There's no acting tough around here. If we aren't in the porn business then what would you classify the distribution of porn under? If you distribute microwave hamburgers, you're in the fast food business. If you sell homes, you're in the real estate business. If you distribute and sell porn, how are you not in the porn business?

                                                                              But some kid pushing a few galleries during his time or some guy
                                                                              having a few paysites is just a guy pushing some porn sites or submitting galleries: nothing to do with being part of an industry/business.
                                                                              I get your point, they are not exactly producing the stuff themselves therefore in your view not able to class themselves as producing porn. But I tend to also agree with shermsshack on the point that its still the adult business whichever way you decided to look at it.

                                                                              Good thread btw.

                                                                                              The upper class thinks the money is cool and the lower class has no morals anyway. They can't afford them except when they fake it in church to have something to hang on to in their pathetic lives. In between the crack houses and the clubs near Ocean Drive, I don't run across any middle class people but I imagine they might be the ones that would react negatively.

                                                                                                          Other times they are shocked that I'm doing it.

                                                                                                          Then I show them how much money im making with it and they are impressed.

                                                                                                          It ain't like I doing porn for a full time job. Side cash to party on.

If you are someone that makes galleries, runs a TGP or something along those lines, I would more so classify it as advertising or marketing.

This usually happens when you apply for something or have to list your income, like when we bought our last car. The salespeople were almost quizzing us. It's all about the money.

                                                                                                                                          parents dont mind too much.. i dont talk about what i do around them or involve them in it... I also do a bit of mainstream webwork aswell.. so thats always a good cover for those who arent so open minded.

                                                                                                                                              Was hanging out with a girl I didn't really know, and the first thing she asked me was what I did for a living. I can't lie, but I didn't know if she was cool with it or not.

                                                                                                                                              Long story short, she was very cool with it, and said the only problem she has with porn is that she can't find enough Catholic school girls.

Many guys ask me to let them be a quiet mouse on a set sometime (some of whom MISTAKENLY think that just being on set with a porn girl means that they will get at least a blowjob)----I never let "visitors" on sets!

                                                                                                                                                                              ... I also do a bit of mainstream webwork aswell.. so thats always a good cover for those who arent so open minded.
                                                                                                                                                                              That works for me

                                                                                                                                                                              Just about everyone I know will eventually ask me a question about PCs or satellites and when I answer them they usually reply about how far over their heads the answer is (on actually simple stuff), so I use that to my advantage when someone gets to ??? about how I am making $$$ online I spew a bit about HTML and getting sponsors that match your site, then send them dazed and confused off to one of my mainstream sites

                                                                                                                                                                              Unfortunately that sometimes backfires when they ask if I can help them set up a site to make $$$... I handle that by telling them to come up with their idea, get all of their content, text, etc. all ready and I will do their layout. Haven't been taken up on it once
