Do you guys tell your friends/family what you do?? or keep it a secret??

Personally... I love telling people i work with porn.... apart from my grandma!

BigFrog · 01-15-2003, 11:39 PM

my parents kicked me out of the house.

wwwcashmountain · 01-15-2003, 11:45 PM

So im guessing u told them!

stocktrader23 · 01-15-2003, 11:45 PM

I don't mind in the least. They don't seem to either after I show them a check. Muah ha ha ha

BigFrog · 01-15-2003, 11:50 PM

they found out that i was thinking about getting into the biz.....when in fact i was already underway with content production and site layout.......
didnt sit too well with them.....relatives found out.....my stepdad joked about it with my cousin.....my cousin told my brother and sister and 2 guests......stepdad freaked and told me my plans had to change or i had to leave.
pretty fucked up.....
but, i wasnt going to quit for him or anyone else.

i would have had alot easier of a time getting started if i stayed where i didnt have bills.....but im content with the fact that ive stuck to my plans and am following through with things for once in my life.

fang · 01-15-2003, 11:51 PM

Depends who it is... to some I say internet marketing

And to some I say sling porn

wwwcashmountain · 01-15-2003, 11:55 PM

some people can be pretty closed-minded & old fashioned i guess!.

Lane · 01-15-2003, 11:59 PM

i secretly get up late at night to use the computer in the living room. my step-dad would kill me if he knew.. also the parental-lock is a bitch.

Mogul · 01-16-2003, 12:03 AM

After all the years, everyone knows. I do not care myself. I of course do lots of mainstream stuff as well, which can be interesting at times.

You know what though, fuck em if they have an issue. It is your life.

At least you are not working for monkey wages. um, or are you?

I've got a friend that's an Italian porn guy and he has the best philosophy ever.....

"If you tell the truth upfront, you can only get in trouble once !
If you keep lying you'll get in trouble for every lie + the "

I would suggest that to any up and coming young webmasters. Just tell your family and friends, it's much less grief than them finding out later you've been lying for years.

Kanoealoha · 01-16-2003, 12:30 AM

I don't say what i do...don't wanna bother with explaining why...

chodadog · 01-16-2003, 12:32 AM

Pretty much everyone i i know, friends, family, know what i do. Hell, i was at a mate's place and he introduced me to a family friend (some woman, 40+ years old)..

"This is brendan, he builds porn sites"

It was coo' though, 'cause she wasn't offended or anything. She actually seemed interested. Maybe i can sign her up as a mature model or something. haha.

But yeah, only people that don't know are my dad's side of the family, 'cause they're a lot more conservative than the rest of us.

Exactly. I tell anyone that asks. Everyone in my family is fine with it.

One time I was chatting with some people I didn't know at a party, and the subject came up. When I told them I build porn sites they actually stopped talking to me and got up and walked away. Fuck 'em.

Plugger · 01-16-2003, 12:46 AM

Do you really think I would tell anyone I work at Mc Donalds?

UnseenWorld · 01-16-2003, 12:53 AM

I think honest relationships with family and friends are important, so I'm always amazed at the thought that some people are doing something they don't want to admit doing to their friends and relatives.

nap · 01-16-2003, 01:21 AM

i told my mom, girlfriend and a few of my friends. my mom flipped out and starting complaing about me finishing college but has now finally realized i'm not changing my mind anytime soon. my gf on the other hand doesnt want me producing any content. my friends are just like "how can we help"

Greg N · 01-16-2003, 01:23 AM

What they don't know will never hurt them

Carrie · 01-16-2003, 01:31 AM

What they don't know will never hurt them... until your Dad decides to run for Mayor and his opponent starts digging around.

Tell 'em up front.

inthestars · 01-16-2003, 10:18 PM

I am lucky that the three friends I've told reacted positively.. I just don't tell everyone, many people have a bad idea about the online adult world.

TurboTrucker · 01-16-2003, 10:22 PM

My family doesn't care. Now I'm not gonna tell my Grandma, but my parents are cool with it.

Pointless · 01-16-2003, 10:22 PM

If someone asks it tell them, but i dont go walking around acting like a pimp

wouncie · 01-16-2003, 10:26 PM

I'm a web designer.
..... That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

hershie · 01-16-2003, 10:30 PM

I gotta admit I chocked on the words when I would tell someone for the first few months after I started. However, I feel totally at ease about telling people when they ask as I have learned over the months that we are all just business people who are for the most part as ethical and professional as any other industry I have been in.

are you a chick? because i wouldnt think there's many guy friends out there that would look down upon their friend being in the biz, unless you hang out with a bunch of squares

Rochard · 01-16-2003, 10:42 PM

I spent a weekend with Lightspeed for my job interview in Phoenix. When I returned to California, I told my mother I had accepted the job and was moving to Arizona. The first words out of my mother's mouth was "It's not a job in porn, is it?".

My friends all think it's cool. Wow - In the morning I'll get to watch four lesbians go at it. Sounds cool. It's over rated. With six people in one room & hot lights, well, it's not fun. And it's not like I get to watch or anything; I'm busy watching all of the action through a video camera. Not much fun at all. I guess it just gets old after a while.

stocktrader23 · 01-16-2003, 10:46 PM

Everyone on my moms side of the family knows, as well as my parents. My grandma and grampa kept telling me how my cousin from out of town who is female was making up to $1000 a night with porn sites. They were intrigued by it.

My theory...

If your grandparents don't care why should you.

Rilose · 01-17-2003, 03:46 AM

My parents got me the job.........thanks Mike_69...

been 7 years since he asked me to start designing !

railz · 01-17-2003, 03:49 AM

My mum's recent visit was interesting. She was trying to offer a female point of view on my designs as I was working.

Way too surreal. She couldn't care less what I do as long as it's legal and I'm happy.

adamneve · 01-17-2003, 03:55 AM

People love to hear it when i say i work
in porn!

High Quality · 01-17-2003, 04:58 AM

The following is a breakdown of my answers in order of query:

What do you do:

1) Self employed..... "and what do you do?"
2) Business owner .... "what does that entail?"
3) Web designer ..... "What do you design"
4) For my corporation .... "who are your clients"
5) I have clients all over the world. "Must be a booming business"
6) It cums naturally

most of my friends know. they call me the porn king

Socks · 01-17-2003, 05:23 AM

Even my grandma knows. Unfortunately my fiance is from Mexico, and as much as her parents love me I just can't tell them what I do. Catholic, spanish, they would never look at me the same way again. So to them, I just design websites.
