I've employeed my parents back in the 90's before they retired, my grandmother knows what I do, and like Jaysin said, if you can't tell family, you're in the wrong fucking business.

Most of my close family knows, the rest just think I do "computer stuff", to which they reply "Oooh! computers! There's a future in that."

Work is not usually the topic of conversation but if it does come up I just say "internet marketing, search engine optimization, advertising management" and confuse them with lingo.

by the way, my family on my mom's side know that I work on porn. On my dad's side they think I just design mainstream websites. And my husband's relatives certainly know what we do

I've tried to explain to mine quite a few times what I do exactly only for them to say oh so you are a telephone sex operator. So I don't bother anymore.

My family knows exactly what we do. My wife's family, a very religious bunch, does not. . .yet. They undoubtedly will find out at some point and we will have another morality debate which will end poorly for them.
My son is 15 and knows what we do (hardcore amateur shoots for sites to be launched in a few months). He is never at the shoots of course, but loves to see the hotties come and go when he crosses paths with them. He has college plans, but I suspect he will end up working with us after college. He is a bright, articulate young man and is also VERY attractive. He should make a good recruiter. Once he's 18 he's going to work for us in that capacity. Fucked up? Maybe, but honest anyway. |

my entire family knows what i do in adult as well as my mainstream projects. its just a biz and if they don't like then don't sit at my table. Most of them either don't talk about it or have tons of questions . My wifes uncles are about 60-65 years old and they flipped out when they heard I've been to the PB Mansion ... I found that funny because i didn't really care and wasn't even going to go the first year but I guess they grew up with the launch of PB and all the press about it. after talking with them for a bit I realized that it is kinda cool to be at a place with the history it has and the limited access to it.

How do you keep a secret such as being a pimp?
Once one person knows, everyone does.

My dad doesn't give a shit, but I don't talk about it with my mom. I'm sure she knows, so she doesn't bring it up and I don't either. She's born again, aka super judgemental, so it's more of an ignorance is bliss thing with her I guess.

I'll tell them what I do more in detail once I start making more money. Otherwise, I just tell them online marketing.
