    The worse of two evils.

    Which is worse:


    A: Living a lie with your friends and family by not telling them what you do in the Adult Internet business.

    B: Losing friends and family members by telling them what you do in the Adult Internet business.



    None of this B.S. about if they were true friends bla bla bla......Fuck all that...The bottom line is that this business can and does cost people friendships all the time.

    So......Better to live a lie or better to be yourself and maintain fewer non-industry friends?

                      Are you really living a lie by not telling them?

                                      If you've got friends that are so uptight that they don't like porn, then tell em. I couldn't be friends with someone that didnt agree with what i did for a living

                                      It'd be like if your dating one of those enviornmental types.. If you told her your car uses gas, she'd leave you. Same thing applies. You can't be friends with someone that disagree's with something that your life revolves around.

                                      As far as family is concerned, just don't tell the ones that would disagree with it. Unless you don't like them

                                              I'm pretty sure this falls under "None of this B.S. about if they were true friends bla bla bla."


                                              How about thinking about your answers for once?

                                                          This is not about what they do or don't like. People who like porn still have a problem with a pornographer dating their daughter.

                                                                  Most of my friends and family know what I do but I have also seen it effect my personal life in negative ways so it occasionally makes one wonder if they made the right choice by telling others in the first place.

                                                                  Overall, it is just a topic of discussion. The bottom line is I am comfortable with my own decision on this matter. I appreciate your concern though.

If they ask what you do, say you're a photographer or whatever and unless they ask for more detail, there's no reason to share it. Then it's not really lying, is it?

                                                                                          A: Living a lie with your friends and family by not telling them what you do in the Adult Internet business.

                                                                                          B: Losing friends and family members by telling them what you do in the Adult Internet business.



                                                                                          None of this B.S. about if they were true friends bla bla bla......Fuck all that...The bottom line is that this business can and does cost people friendships all the time.

                                                                                          So......Better to live a lie or better to be yourself and maintain fewer non-industry friends?
                                                                                          I think I can help you out here.

                                                                                          I think a person has to keep business and family seperate. Your business is your business alone and talking about it and telling other people from whom you cannot earn money has no purpose but to: a) make yourself feel proud and show off, b) satisfy someone's needless curiosity

                                                                                          Business is Business Family is Family.

                                                                                          Business is about making money. talking to family will not in anyway help you make more money, therefore in my mind it is illogical and useless.

                                                                                          THis is there it ends, once you realize this and you make yourself believe it, you will save yourself alot of trouble, because you are going to be in control over who finds out about what you do.

                                                                                          if you tell family and friends, people you don't want to know will find out becuase it's not up to you to tell but you have to trust that someone will keep his/her mouth shut. you can't trust anyone fully but yourself, especially when it comes to something like having an old fashioned family and your mother getting a heart attack when she finds out that you're a "digital pimp"
