What does your significant other think about what you do?
 

This has been discussed a lot around here but I am trying to prove a point to somebody who is reading the board tonight.

So...Tell us again...

What do they think about it, how did they find out, and what was their initial reaction compared to how they feel now?

Discuss.

She loves what I do:)

My man and I work as a team.
He was working full time managing a website and when that contract ended in July, we both went full force into porn. Before that we only dabbled. Had a paysite, tgp, etc. It's great to work together. We get so much more done than only 1 person could.
:thumbsup

I was 15 when I meet my girlfriend, I'm 20 now, she's 21, I was doing porn back when we met, and she thought it was cool as shit. Now however, she wishes I had a real job so she didn't have to hide whta I do from people, I personally don't give a fuck if people know, my parents know, my friends know, if someone asks, I tell them. She doesn't like it so much though, but she willa ccept it. I'll probably move into something else eventually, and do this on the side.

Money is money, it is just as a hard job as anything else.

Then you are doing something wrong. It's difficult at first due to the learning process. After that it gets a lot easier and less time consuming.

It would probably be hard for someone in their mid-50's to come to grips with a spouse that decided to do this, don't you think?

my girlfriend immediately turned to me and said "Who is AaronM, and how can I get his cock buried in me?!?"

::shrug:: who knew

Girls love money. Period.

It's all good Tim. Every time I am in Seattle I show her.

I'm just about due for another trip up there. :Graucho

We are partners, but he was involved in the industry first. I never had a problem with it even before I started working with him.

That would be the question of the day. :glugglug

1.Money is Money
2.As long as your home
3.Your not fucking around
4.and If you do fuck up HALF IS MINE!!!

She digs it since I have a real corporate job as well by day. The pics that you all post make her and her girlfriends at work crack up thru the day.

you little rascal.

THAT's where she's been sneaking off to when you come up!

For the record...Please state your aproximate age.

My wife of 14 years and I have been separated for over a year. As in any marriage, there were a host of other issues that prompted me to move out and she was pretty tolerant of my porn activities for years even though she never really liked it much.

Although she's pretty jealous type (as am I) I have never cheated on her and didn't plan to because she's an excellent lover and I don't intend to betray her trust. I've invited her to come along to the few conventions I've gone to, but she refused, instead she probably fosters fears of my infidelity, of course as do most people that know me outside of this industry. Ironically I am maybe one of the most faithful mofos out there, and as you all know, temptation is at every corner in this biz and I am such a stud.

I have recently asked for a list of items I could correct, well porn was one of them. I have left porn before for almost a year and got back into it, ultimately it looks like I will have to choose between the two.

As I'm mostly only doing design for a living right now, I have a 3 year plan to eventually stop taking on adult projects and phase into mainstream design but with the current economy it would be pretty suicidal for me to give it up now since I started the year with a bang.

Well, there's my confessional and I just invited her to the Cancun gathering but didn't get an answer yet. I keep hoping she understands the business side of things especially since she doesn't seem to mind the money :winkwink:

.. to be continued..

Edit: I am 35

I'm 27.

Hiding what i do from people is a non-issue for me. My friend introduces me as "This is Brendan. He's a pornographer"

Goddamn asshole. lol.

My girlfriend doesn't <i>like</i> that i do porn, but she doesn't mind. And we're planning on having children, so she loves the fact that we'll both be at home with the kids and the flexible hours.

its a business and that is how i look at it. like any other...

Wife is involved 100%, she is my best designer :thumbsup

I took you for more mature than that. :)

Opps!:1orglaugh

no significant other. age: 31.

she works with us :)

31?

Typo?

I could swear we both just turned 30.

he loves it. who doesnt love money?

nope, 30 was last year :)

My spouse is 100% supportive and has actually given me tons of great ideas. She is not good on the design side but is great at marketing.

STFU and read.

Age is not the issue. Money and making it a business is.

You old bastid.

And here I thought we shared something special. :(

She likes to suck my weiner on webcam with a big audience. What was the question again?

Who cares. Fuck her if she doesn't like it, the welfare line forms over in the garden of poverty riden do gooders who think I give a shit about what they think about me. Fuck em all! Do what you want, if they follow - cool, if they don't, there will always be another.

Nice attitude bro.

The people in question used to like you. That may have just changed.

You may remember some people from dinner in LA and the Holio Party.

Fuck em though...Right?

she's right beside me:thumbsup

Me and my man work together.

I don't know why so many women have a problem with their men looking at porn.

Smurfette

hey, we still do :glugglug

I've got small children. They tend you age you :P

Then drag your ass to Cancun and she me that you old people can still party like us young bucks. :glugglug

Yeah but isn't Joel about 70? :1orglaugh

My mom is fine with it.

Same as my wife and I.

Thanks again for posting that '70 challenger pic...brought back great memories :)

7 you say? hehe.. He doesn't have QUITE enough grey hair yet.. but it's coming (he's gonna KILL me for saying that).

You're welcome, there's quite a few more car pics on my site.

Then I guess they shouldn't be reading a site called GO FUCK YOURSELF

They don't like me cause I'm not spineless? Here's a nicer way to put it:

There are 2 questions a man must ask himself:
1. Where am i going?
2. And, who will go with me?
The moment these 2 questions are reversed, you're fucked!

Sam Keen author of "Fire in the belly" on becoming a man.

I used to roll about life living everyone else's. Then, one day, as I sat broke, politically correct, and depressed in my hovel dank stinky apartment in Hollywood - it became aparent to me that what everyone else thought about me meant very little compared to what I thought about me. In fact, I was living a lie unless I was following my own path in life and sharing it's riches with those close to me. As long as I follow my code, i'm OK - Don't hurt anyone, Don't hurt yourself, and don't do anything illegal. That was also the day that I lost judgement on everyone else for living a life that I didn't approve of - because you know what? It's none of my fucking business what you do with your life, as longf as it doesn't interfere with mine. What did madonna say? "Whore is the man, who's pleasures depend - on the permission of another.


That day, BTW, was the day I got into porn - October 15th 1996.

Without him I'd only get 1/2 as much done lol

we're APPROXIMATELY out of our 30's ;)

oh and no comments from the peanut section that know me!!! (I still wear my silver tipped boots guys!) lol

My gay lover isnt crazy that I do straight porn

I don't feel a day over 67, thank you very much. However in actuality I'm 28.

Hmmm... You know how my woman feels about it.

Just wait, in 6 more weeks when baby comes, you're going to feel 85!
