A lot of serious business is done over the phone.
When I switched from mainstream business to adult, there was definitely an initial awkwardness all round, and it did require a personal assertion of really understanding my involvement and commitment to the industry.
It did not take long to discover that adult entertainment is a legitimate and culturally mainstream industry. There are many professionals at all levels (web hosting, operating systems, media players, webmasters, sponsors...) who have gotten beyond the 'content level' and conduct themselves professionally (and ethically) at the 'business level'.
You don't have to be vulger in supporting your client base, and negotiating or discussing your B2B needs with your vendors.
Being able to represent your project professionally in person and over the phone is a business rite of passage - adult or otherwise.
The 'right wingers' often defer to the 'porn' industry as being conducted in the shadows and back streets.
The more established higher profile good business examples we get, the better for all.
