This way in the future if she notices you are only working with adult, you can say that they just pay better.
If you just tell her you deal with pornos, it will not sound good. People outside of the industry do not have the same understanding that we do. Most often times, it isn't about openess, but more about relating to it as a product. Her relating to the adult industry might consist of "Boogie Nights."

well said. on that note, i usually get drunk and tell them i deal with the online adult industry. when they give me a funny look, i say porn. they usually laugh and find it amusing. if she doesn't like it, her loss.
if you're really concerned about it, play it up. make it sound like this issue you really don't want to talk about. she'll assume you're a hitman or a baby kidnapper. when you finally come out and say internet porn, it'll sound like you work at a old folks home as a volunteer.
last one.. just say "hey, it's not as cool or exciting as your job, but i work in the online adult industry. it's a pain in the ass sometimes, but it's fun."
