What did Mum & Dad say?
 

What were your parents reactions when they found out you were doing porn?

My Dad never knew, my Mum has known for years. She really took it well.

Back in 70/80s my parents had a large house near London and a villa in Spain. One year while they were in Spain, my first wife and me had a crew round to their house to shoot a movie, which we were in. :)

When Mum & Dad returned one of the neighbours asked my Mum what the film crew were doing in the house. Mum just said it was to do with my job, which was not porn. But she put two and two together and came up with four.

Told me that story about 8 years ago. She thought it wise not to tell Dad, he had a habit of being a bit highly strung. Would of gone ballistic. :1orglaugh

Never officially told them, but the GFY and AdultCheck shirts helped them to figure it out.

On easter, my mom was saying how she wanted to get a better paying job, so I told her to "sell dirty movies online" What I meant was doing what I do. Y'know like selling memberships.

I mean I might as well call myself a digital pimp. I sell Pussy online. There are lots of ways of saying it. Well to an industry outsider, "selling videos" must mean seling videos of yourself.

So when I said, "sell dirty movies online" she said (without skipping a beat), "Really? You think people would really buy dirty videos of me?"


AAAAAAAAAHHHHHRRRRRR!!! NNNOOOOOOO!!!!!! MOM!! GROSS!!!

I joked it off, and said, I was just kidding.

My mother was proud of the successes I was seeing in my business...she was just more concerned that I was happy...the whole porn issue never bothered her.

I sat her down one day and showed her exactly what it is I do.

My father on the other hand was/is bothered by it.

He is a bit more accepting but deep down I honestly believe he hopes I fail at this and will move onto something else.

well havent told the 'rents yet, but i told my grandma....she is the coolest old lady! she said "well, isnt THAT naughty"!! hehe, yes grandma it sure is! :winkwink: k

...then you took her to the kitchen and bent her over the sink while your dad poked your assmuffin with an eggbeater?


Right?

What did your parents say?
Oh wait, I guess they knew what you'd do before you were born.

she just laughed at the t-shirt with a girl spreading her legs with a sign "Eric Nuts"

Mary was cool with is... so was joseph.... But they never really looked at me the same way.


But seriously my mom does my accounting so she probably knows what I do, but becasue I make more money from hosting then I do from porn they arent too upset, becasue they know if I had some moral turn around I would be ok if I stopped doing porn. (Not gonna happen)

they took it very good
my father wants to come to a show after i told him what's going on over there:1orglaugh

Mom thought it was cool I make decent money at home.
Dad wanted to know if he could make some extra cash with it.

:glugglug

I wont tell her until I make good money from it so I can show her a big check while telling her, then she won't mind if she knows it's a good living.
That's all she wants is to see her kids are doing well and not struggling.

my dad knew from the beginning. maybe 4 years later my mom found out. now my entire family knows. no big deal.

i've been able to do so much for my parents (paying off their mortgage, buying my dad a sports car, covering the reno's on their home, etc)... and they are nothing but grateful.

"PORN IS BAD" ? blah? blah? blah?

I told my mother about a year ago and I think she took it well, there days she saying "how much did you earn today in signups?". Kind of weird her asking but it's cool now.

Dad, well -- he's another story. He thinks my sole business is writting web scripts and he brags to all his golf mates about it.
Of course, I would never tell him about my other side of the business, although he has walked into my office when im either getting a coffee or on the phone and seen the sex.com logo or a gallery on the screen. He never says anything about it but he probley thinks im a perv or something. He's right too. :D

my parents have always known, I enjoyed telling them, my father loves it, he's been hassling me to burn some cd's for him lately actually. My mother is pretty devout she doesn't like it but cops it on the shin like a good old girl, the only reason i'm posting this is I FINALLY did the deed with my girlfriends parents, which to me are the last people on earth i'd wanted to know, as they're a little older and a little more conservative than my parents, as well as the whole mother/father in law thing.. anyways, not that I told them the whole sordid shebang, but they took my involvement in nebulous "online erotica" pretty well, her dad doesn't seem to mind too much (well he still talks to me anyways), and her mother said "as long as it's not me taking pics of my girlfriend" so they took it better than expected, I was actually more worried about her parents and even the looser social network of people I know (ie not my close friends) than my parents, I didn't want my achievements explained away or degraded because the money I made was "from porn" as though it's like taking candy from a baby, and less worthy than a lawyer's house or car... not that I cared too much what those people thought.. but it's just a tad annoying to my mind.

My mother: I'll pray for you, honey.

My dad: Wicked! Damn, everybody else's life is much more exciting than mine...

My husband's mom: You're going to hell, you know that? Straight. To. Hell. And you're a terrible mother.

My husband's dad: pretended he couldn't hear, said his hearing aid needed new batteries.

My girlfriend's mother: Saw a pic of me on the screen when my gf left the room to get a glass of water. My gf came back, freaked out, said, "Mom! What are you doing!?" Mom responded: "Looking at Liz's boobs. She's got a big rack, huh?"

Last month we told her that my gf and I are planning an amateur pantyhose fetish site around my gf -- her mom thought it was a great idea, and started immediately helping my gf plan a trip out here for a month to shoot content. Also took her shopping for costumes.

Her mom is the coolness, I swear. She knows all about me and my gf and husband's relationship -- my gf bought her a copy of "The Ethical Slut" to help her understand :1orglaugh -- and thinks we're wonderful. Calls my daughter her grandkid.

My girlfriend's dad is into surfing for teen stuff, so he just wants to make sure he won't accidentally run across his daughter's pics online -- that's all that bothers him about it. :)

The strange thing about my family is one of them is a highly trained Royal Marine Commando, he is a top rate sniper.

In Afghanistan he was with the SAS and US Special Services in the mountains "working"

In Iraq he was also with the Royal Marines and we do not know what he was doing, but he is not a "Peace Keeper"

At the last family get together I had to listen to one of my uncles and his wife tell him how proud they were of him.

So I chipped in that they were proud of what he did with a gun and ashamed of what I do with a camera.

Fucked up world and he agreed with me. My uncle and aunt still do not talk to me. :321GFY

I work for my girlfriends brother and I had already told my mum what Paul done before I started working for him. When he decided to get an office and start making more money then I said to her that I was offered a job and would she mind if this is what I worked in........

She said whatever makes me happy and also as long as everything is LEGAL then she has no problems with it.

Some of my family are jealous. My mums sister told my gran about what I do. I didn't want her knowing coz I didn't think she would understand! My aunt was just trying to get my gran to be disgusted and she just said "really?" then said fine, at leat he has a job unlike your son.........

After that I diddn't care who knew about it. My mum's other sister has a really really great job and her husband is kinda snobby so to speak. When they found out my uncle asked to see all my sites. It was cool. Gives you a good feeling to know that you have no secrets in your family and you have the support of most of the family!

Only one who has a problem is my aunt who tried to start shit by telling my gran..... Little does she know that one of her sons asked me to build him a site and help him make some money :1orglaugh

I told him to :321GFY

My Dad doesn't know, though he might well be cool with it. We just don't talk that much, really.

My mother doesn't know most of what I do. That's because when I mentioned that what I do involved website with nude photos she pretty much burst into flames on the spot. She is dealing well enough now, but doesn't understand and wishes I didn't.

I tried to tell my dad, he just to ld me to shut up and keep sucking his dick. My dad always felt porn was evil. Oh well.

No matter what we do our parents still love us.

We only upset and disappoint them for a little while.

Well said:thumbsup
