The differences between "Adult" and "Mainstream" Web Development

What the fuck is wrong with me?!? Am I continually barking up the wrong tree?!?

Yeah, yeah, I know the economy is going to absolute pot. That could be one of the reasons. Maybe you can help me figure out this question...

Why do I go out of my way to "hide" the experience I have learned in the adult web industry in order to make myself more presentable to potential "legit" businesses?!?

I've got lots of neat adult and non-adult projects under my belt, and a pretty good grasp of sales and guerilla marketing - yet every mainstream contract or work experience I have been involved with has been about as exciting as a hangnail - and about as lucrative as a rural West Virginia computer show.

In my last legit work experience, I built this site - LEO AWARDS. Obviously it gets its influence from some of my adult sites - yet this is absolutely the proudest I have ever been about a site.

Since working for this company - who of course fucked me with my contract as it was about to expire - I have returned to the adult industry and have decided to look for full time work (along with every other peanut grabber). I prefer the no BS atmosphere of adult work.

I guess the simple answer is STOP LOOKING FOR MAINSTREAM WEB DEVELOPMENT WORK. However, I feel that the lessons learned in the adult industry could apply to so many other facets of advertising and marketing that I continue to shoot myself in the foot.

Do other people deal with the dilemma of balancing "legit" and "adult" projects? I'd be interested to know.

Advice? Thoughts? Insults?

Hmm...an adult site?... http://www.semenexonline.com

I've done a whole lot of minor projects....and since my return to adult web development I have started several large hybrid modifications of existing mainstream web applications. I am porting these for use in the adult industry. Most of them consist of project and content management packages.

Of course, we all know how long it takes to go from "I can't believe nobody has thought of this idea yet" to "Holy shit why didn't I think of that?"
