Do you tell your friends or damily?
 
Might be that this thread has been on the board before but I couldn't find it.

I was just wondering who tells their friends and family that they work in the pornbiz.
My parents know and my friends know but I guess if I tell my grandparents about it gramma might whoop my ass.

Do you tell your family you do business on the internet or do you just tell them you are in the pornbiz?

enoj 07-23-2001 05:17 AM

My parents know that i am in the advertising biz, but not adult.

DragonAss 07-23-2001 05:46 AM

Anybody and everybody who asks "what do you do?" knows.

Naughty 07-23-2001 06:00 AM

Yeah, told everybody who asks, the real problem lies with my girlfriend, she's anxious to answer her parents questions about my job...:-)

Or my mother, who has to answer her friends questions about me, LOL.

When we lived in Seattle, we told anyone who asked and some who didn't. Most folks thought it was cool.
My family knows. Hell, my mother in law runs our stats program for us. On the payroll. On the clock every morning. She's the best employee we've got. Oh wait, she's the only employee we've got.
My father in law runs errands for us, so we can work uninterrupted and takes care of the dogs. All of my family has been supportive and non judgmental.
Two years ago, we moved to Georgia, one of 22 hostile states...and we tell no one what we do. It's been difficult and leaves us with a feeling of isolation. Ever since a recent conference, where we heard lawyers speak about what the obscenity laws mean and the cases up before the Supreme Court, we've been pretty circumspect about being in the adult business.

If your not proud of your job & cant tell friends/family about it...then you'll never be the best =)

Unless of course your a spy...then you might not wanna go flappin your lipz! http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/tongue.gif

Be proud of this biz & everything it stands for!!!!!!!!!!

Tanker and I don't tell people right off the bat. Close family and friends know but its not something that I would advertise to people that you don't know very well. You never know what people will do or say.

haha..i went out with a convservative chick studying child pyschologist last night...she didn't seem to mind.

As a matter of fact, i cant remember when someone got upset over what i did for a living...& i've met a ton of people in the past year.

Most people usually say "Oh really...i bet thats interesting" or "Holy Shit! That fucking rules it!"

I am in the Internet Advertising business. Luckily I am in the most profitable side of the industry.

Let them make their own asumptions. Some guess. Makes it fun.

bauhaus 07-23-2001 10:42 AM

I was a private school teacher previous to doing this...My mother and Aunt are very well respected in the industry, so I cannot be too vocal about what I do. Although my parents and most of my friends know. Since I do not work in content people seem ok with what I do....Needless to say my grandparents just know I work for an internet company.

Well most of my friends and my family know it but beside this I do non-adult business and I don't think customers would like it much.
But anyway I think everybody should be proud of what they do.
Just don't tell it to the wrong person.

Muffy 07-23-2001 10:51 AM

I think it really depends on who you are dealing with. My immediate family, boyfriend and closest friends all know what I do and they are fine with it. I just don't feel the need to fill in my grandmother, distant relatives or new people that I meet on the fact that I'm in the porn biz. It's only the people that matter that should know or care anyways.

Makaveli 07-23-2001 03:38 PM

Well I tell ya what. I don't use it as a pick up line at the clubs but, my friends know, my parents know and a few friends that's about it.. I'm on a need to know basis..

bauhaus 07-23-2001 03:49 PM

In Vegas I conducted an experiment...After the splitinfinity party (6am ish) I met a girl who wanted to go swimming, I assumed she knew what I did (being a porn convention and all) so off we went for breakfest to wait for the pool to open...We talked about her being in school, her ex-boyfriend, etc...Then I asked her why she was at a porn convention? She stated that she and her friends never noticed ,they actually thought it was an NBA party???? During breakfast she told me how nice I was, and asked what I did? I told her I worked for Orgasm.com and waited for her response, she thought I was lying and told me that someone at the party told her I was "content"....to her being "content" was really bad, but selling and marketing porn was ok? Go Figure??? So in the end she thought that it was ok since I didn't act like I was in porn (it is really important to note at this point that I was dressed like a 70's pimp , I am 6'2 200lbs and am wearing yellow skin tight bell bottoms, open snakeskin shirt, 70's Christian Dior glasses lots of gold and a purple cowboy hat with 3 fur tails, I looked really not normal!!)...So the outcome of this experiment??? Don't know I guess it all depends on the person, some people are dicks and some are not...this board is filled with both types and we all work in porn.

Doctor Dre 07-23-2001 04:26 PM

MMMmmmmmmm Everybody is calling me pimp ... They was calling me pimp before they knew what I was doing . But now they know what I do and I think they forgot my name ... So my new name is "Pimp" http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/smile.gif

Most of my friends know, my brothers know but not my parents ... My mother is a biblist and my father work as a theology teacher at university ... So just imagine if they knew =p

Whats a hostile state? Last time i checked Adult biz is legal in Georgia..I hate to see some kinda of witch hunt

I tell people i am in Internet marketer.
because Porn is not mainstream and not everyone accepts. Not that i ain't proud, but someone else's perception can be a bitch. I can always show people several of my non adult sites

I remember when i was turned down by some accountants because i told them exactly how i made some of the money

Believe it or not the skills you learn in the porn biz can easily transfer to any mainstream sites

Mrs Tanker 07-23-2001 05:35 PM

I still think if you want to tell them your in the biz..do it. I'm a mom but luckly for me the kids are too young to ask questions.
My father said to Tanker "thats one of the best businesses to be in because porn will never go out of style". There are alot of companies that are on the internet that are going down hill but Porn is still strong. It's not illegal and its a business. I think the general population thinks we just whack off all the time. I know that Tanker doesn't but I am another story...of course I am not a webmistress. People will think what they want to think. You gotta do what ya gotta do.

The family knows but doesnt ask ANY questions, so I hate to think what they actually think I do... You know that most people that dont know about the ins and outs of being a webmaster think that you shoot the content yourself... Yeah, like I've got that hidden room in my house where I shoot girls all day. I wish they would just grow up and ask the questions they want to know... then they would realise that all it really is is marketing... that is pretty much it!

drumsicle 07-24-2001 01:25 AM

Most of my friends know. My parents don't though. I figure if I start getting some fat checks one of these days, I might tell them. I think they are tired of having a poor son and would welcome a son who has money, even if it's from porn!

Jer 07-24-2001 07:29 AM

I run non-adult too. My father knows I have a adult toplist (he doesn't know sometimes I make galleries or other stuff... but I'm in another non-adult project right know).
We're just waiting the phone line and ADSL to move to our new office and we'll work together.
Oh wait, I think my mom knows I have a adult toplist too. One time I showed to my parents an internet magazine with my toplist and 5 stars around it http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/smile.gif http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/smile.gif
One thing I know is that she loves when I get a check, hehe. My girlfriend knows.
My friends knows I have the toplists too. No problem.

Badmoon 07-24-2001 05:45 PM

I tell people that I have a variety of internet businesses. I book hotel rooms online with several of my non-adult sites. (conversion rates blow away my best porn sites) so I can tell people about that. I also sell viagra through Kwikmed, but all of my sales come from affliates, so I don't really know if that is from porn pages or not.

My wife was a bit leary of my new TGP, but I make sure to show her the checks and then she thinks its cool. She was also excited about the Vegas show but we didn't make it this year. Show her some money and take a fun vacation and she's converted!

My parents are really proud of what i've achieved doing the porn biz. All my friends know. The only person i don't let know is my daughter at the moment. Just figure if its put the wrong way by her, my ex(her mum) might not appreciate it. Probably wouldnt care, but its best not to take chances if it involves access to your child really. Think i will leave that one for a while

Dirtypainter 07-24-2001 09:14 PM

Yes my parents, most of my friends, and a few business contacts.

And my kids know I do it as well. got an 19yr old step son and a 9 yr old daughter. thou I never do any design work while she is in my office. and if she wanders in I close the screen.

I am proud of what I do and wouldn't hide it from anybody. If I decided I need to hide it from somebody then it is time I rethink about doing what I do
