    My accountant just called me and asked me what I do

    and I lied and told him that I'm an affiliate that sells memberships to sites like AOL and eBay.

    was that dumb?

            "Internet Entrepreneur" should cover it. MOst people just assume that means porn when they hear it, and it's politically correct

                he's my old family accountant and he does a great job so I stayed with him.

                But he's doing my taxes at his house and I gave him like 12 different 1099's and my bandwith bill, content bills etc, and I just froze when he asked me.

                  AOL doesn't sell content, they just provide the internet connectoin so your content can get on AOL lol

                                gotta agree you have to be totally upfront and honest with your accountant. They are the ones that have to stand behind you when the IRS man comes a knocking. Since they sign their name to your taxes.

                                If they don't like what you do find another. Most don't give a crap. Hell I use my parents accountant. I went to school with her son, and she thinks in funny. She wishes her son would do it.

                                  that might be true, but I get enough people asking me to teach them how to run a site

                                        I LOVE working in porn. This is the only thing I've ever wanted to do and now I'm finally doing it so I feel lucky to be here.

                                        My problem isn't working in porn, my problem is dealing with people who DONT work in porn.

                                        I'll get over it, like most of you say no one really cares, I think

                                          Tell him you run adult sites.

                                          He'll offer you a discount in exchange for access.

                                              My CPA called me today too (on a Saturday..can you tell it's tax season). Telling me I need to once again review my investments and estate planning... BLECK. oh and that I don't have to pay the IRS a ton more.. Just a couple of new cruise missiles should do.

                                              BTW...he already knows what I do.. and has since 1996. Anyone else I usually say "internet website development and advertising". If they dig deeper about where $ come from in that, I tell them it's the advertising... and liken it to billboards along the road as you drive (although these billboards if you click on them take you where they're advertising).

                                                The IRS has a category for what we do that has a numeric code, anyways the official category is called "internet advertising and
                                                related services" and it covers both adult and non-adult marketing.

The funniest was the security guys at the airport the last time I went somewhere. Got me through the line damn quick too

                                                          If they don't like it, fuck 'em.

                                                          Your accountant and your attorney NEED to know what you do.

Ofcourse I dont give a fuck anymore after 6 years.. ;) Most annoying thing is having people ask you to teach them how to do it themselves.

                                                              Wait...never mind....that describes half of the people on this board

Fuck if people think its weird I just tell them to stick it, you look at porn, I merely provide you it. If it wasnt for me you would have a harder time jacking off.

Last week when he was here compiling my receipts I asked him if he knew of any porn sites, and he rattled off "Bangbus" and "Mike's Apartment" right away. I laughed like hell.... he isn't very net-savvy by any stretch, yet he'd been to quite a little list of sites.

                                                                          I'm making more money this year anyways so I think as I make more money I care less and less as people find out.

                                                                            Porn is perfectly moral. Some business practices that many webmasters engage in may be immoral, but not the art of porn itself.

                                                                            If I felt that it was immoral, I definitely wouldn't be in the business.
