How many of you ?
 

How many of your neighbors, friends and family know what you do for a living ?
like being in the porn business ?

Lets hear it!!

nobody... besides close friends

to many.. thats why the sites up for sale now

I usually keep what i do on the down low. Especially my sister who is a born again Christian.

I don't tell anyone.

A few years ago, we had a friend that worked at Blockbuster.
I went in to rent a movie and she said she just had a customer that lived on my street.
They got to talking, and the neighbor talked about how he liked living there, but eveyone is concerned that there is a "drug dealer" in the neighborhood, since he never goes to work yet has new cars and a new boat. Must be dealing for sure. :1orglaugh

some friends and family know. not a big deal

I can see how they might assume that. When they don't know, they fill in the blanks themselves...and drugs are always the first thought. I don't think anyone ever thinks porn.

Too many. I'm not ashamed of what I do, but when your hanging out with people you don't know to well and on of your drunk buddies yells out "Arial! Pornmaster! 10,000 clicks per day!" it tends to put you on the spot. All the guys ask for hookups and all the chicks think you're a pervert, but hey th money is fucking great!

Everyone accept my Grandmother and non industry contacts such as my bank manager, etc. :2 cents:

I'm a non adult web designer .... honest :winkwink:

From the start I told all my family and friends.

At the end of the day I am not ashamed of what I do, in fact I am very pleased.

If others do not like it, then tough.

99% of my site has been filmed by me. I now do DVD's, and sometimes I am in front of the camera too.

In fact the response has been positive.

The other reason Itold everybody (including the local police) was that if you say you do porn, you get some thick twat who then thinks you do child porn. So I felt the best option was to be open. This way I felt I was legal and no one could black mail me.

But then again, I consider what I do fun sex and not porn. In the UK there is no legal definition to what porn is, so I sate that I deal with sex, not porn. If someone says that I am a porn merchant, I ask them to tell me what they mean by porn, and most of the time, they are so stupid, they cannot answer.

As I tell my dad (who is religious), I say - yes its true I am low life scum, but at least I admit it, but take me to any 'decent' person (i.e. doctor, layer, accountant, nurse and so on), they are the ones buying the porn.

On the very few times someone is a bit off with me (yes, because I do porn, for some reason it gives others the right to judge me, yet I would never dream of judging others), I ask them if they have ever looked at porn. When they say no, I then ask them why something as natural as sex offends them. In truth, I often find after chatting to people the only reason why they are offended, is because they were brought up to think that, yet when I give them a chance to think about it, many turn to me, and say "to be honest, its not that offensive". I have even had girls doing shoots a few weeks later after telling me how wrong they think porn is.

But as I say, people know me, I tell them what I do. I am very open. If they do not like it, then its up to them. I would rather be open than live a lie.

I live in a very conservative neighborhood. The peeps in this neighborhood would freak and talk about me like a dog. That's why I keep what i do very private except for a few close friends know and thats about it.
