did you tell your girlfriend/wifes parents what you do?
 

I am going to meet her parents for the first time and stay for 4 days. She says her mum is religious and she doesn't want them to know I do porn stuff :o/
I think they might already be suspicious though... I am scared they might ask me outright.

So should I just lie? I am not very good at lying and I am not used to lying about what I do I don't realy see its something to hide. I guess I will be in deep shit if I don't though?

lol...sounds like a tough one dude stuck between a rock and a hard place
you see that film meet the parents?...lol...good luck man

Fuck religion. Tell the truth.

I told my fiancee's parents. But they are not religious. Just tell them you do internet marketing/SEO type work/directing traffic. Try and confuse them so they don't ask anymore. If they do ask if you do porn. Say "Some of the companies I deal with may be into Adult Entertainment"

Just spin it, tell the truth, but don't focus on the hardcore aspects.

I say "internet marketing." then when they ask "what do you market" i say "content" quickly followed by a "but WOW, how about those [local sports team] huh?"

If you don't want to tell them just register a domain & make a mainstream web consulting business site.

Just remember tho the truth shall set you free!:pimp

Why tell someone something they don't want or need to know?

Everyone in my family including my grandparents know what I do. The truth shall set you free! :)

I run a charity website for collecting money to buy bibles for orphans.

I recommend a pre-emptive strike...

Be honest and tell them how good their daughter is at giving head, describing her technique in detail, and then ask your girlfriend's parents if they think she picked it up from her Mum.

After being honest about that, I don't think you'll have to worry too much about the occupation issue.

See honesty is best...

I tell people who enquire that I create multimedia and design websites, mostly educational and entertainment material. Which ones? You probably have never heard of them, they're not on TV or anything - so how about the Final 4?.

See how it works? :winkwink:

Or you can say you are a "rape-prevention technician"

i even went as far as business cards for mine. :)

Most people have no idea what to even make of it when you start talking about ads, revenue, SEO optimization etc... backed up by a web url, you are in the clear.

nigga back off from my idea :disgust

My parents don't know. I really would like for them to know but they are very born again and my mom would just think she had done something wrong as a parent and she was a fantastic mom.

everyone thats knows me, knows that I do porn :)

if you cant tell it to your family, who can you tell... why the fuck would anyone do something they are feeling embarrassed over...

Don't tell them shit. Take the Mafia mentality.

Almost to the letter what I told my future in-laws.
Great thread.

my family all knows, but her family umm no lol

nope, my girlfriends parents don't know. they wouldn't understand. my girlfriends brother and his girlfriend know but thats it. though, i don't have to lie so much since i do a lot of mainstream stuff too.

Like they say, the family that prays together plays together. Ask her what she knows about bukkake and you might find yourself bonding a little bit. :winkwink:

If they ask you directly, tell them. Otherwise say you do "internet marketing" and SEO. Also find a domain and put some shit on it so if you need to, fall back on it as your income site. Hopfully they will believe you.

While the truth will set you free, it might also push you away from those around you. I have seen this so many times before.

Q: So what do you do for a living?
A: Adult marketing, you know. Porn etc.
oh, sorry, i hear someone calling me.. bye!

It sucks but some people just can't handle it.
Maybe suse them out before, say something about adult spam, see if they change the subject, if they do, tread lighty. 4 days could be a very LONG time.

Very true! I try to spin it sometimes. But my whole family knows what I do. Except one aunt.

I usually don't give a shit what people think. I'm not ashamed of what I do to pay my bills and make my money. It's my life, if somebody is going to judge me for what I do, fuck them!

Make sure you are clear with what she's told them. Because I recently had the same exact situation and told the parents I do Marketing and Video game development.
I came to find out later she already told them about Naughty America and exactly what it was.

YIKES!!!!!

My family knows but not all agree with it :) With people i usually say i work for an internet company doing online support..

Lie Lie and Lie again lol just playing, spin the truth ;)

Is it less moral to lie than to do porn? Is it less moral to be living that lie with family than it is to do porn?

Where do you draw the line?

Either throw morals to the wind and go all out, or be honest with yourself and your (new) family.

My family knows, my wife's family knows... grandparents and all. They know I'm a good husband, a good father and I provide for my family. They know I'm honest and trustworthy. If they hate porn, so be it, but that's no reason to hate me.

If you don't feel comfortable, just say something vague like internet marketing, multimedia...you can tell pretty exactly what you do without precising that its for ADULT sites.

On my end, everybody knows what I do and they,re all cool with it.

Good luck ! ;)

Just count yourself lucky that you're not a female pornstar that has to say she's getting banged by 10 guys at a time every week.

...For my part; I work in human ressources!! :thumbsup

I think you should lie man. Just say that you are selling some software over the internet or something. :)

I think the best way to bypass such questions as "What do you market?" is telling that you're a web designer, it's understandable for everyone and I'm sure you won't have any questions regarding your job.

My girlfriend's mum urged me to do what I'm doing now :)

Good answer, i have been confusing my family for years, it does work!

my mum know what i do

and so does my lady friends

and they all know i watch porn and they all do too

they say if i didnt watch porn i must be gay

yep, everybody knows iam a smutmaster

yep, this is what i do too

R

I stick by the "what they don't know wont hurt them" thing... :pimp

Yup, my wifes family knows what I do. They have since they first met me. Funny though, they NEVER ask me about it or bring it up in anyway. They understand that my job pays for our house and feeds our family. I guess that's really all that needs to be said in the end.

If she is religious, just lie. Go with internet marketing.

well i think you should tell the truth..coz they will still know in time, so much better that you have told them at this early..well if they don't accept it, that's their problem..

nope..hell my wife's parents dont know what we do..well they know part of it

my parents know though

Was going to say the same thing.
Tell them you do web marketing and throw some technical terms to make them feel stupid and no one will admit they feel stupid so they will probably move on to another topic after saying "SOUNDS INTERESTING"

I would say "I do SEO marketing for TGP sites on the internet as well as updating their content so they rank well on Google search engine algorithm."
They will be like "WTF did he just say ?" but realistically tell you"hmmmm. that sounds very interesting"

it pays to have str8 sites like : www.creamycandy.com
So someone asks you got somewhere to point them and most forget after the conversation.

my boyfriend knows what's the nature of my work, he's an adult designer too so no problem with him

my parents on the other hand, just told them im working on a design company and some clients are in the adult. no extra details...just like what JayDeeZee says

Internet Marketing is the correct answer

of course they know, otherwise they will think I am selling my ass

I use the "Internet Marketing" line and explain that I attract and direct people to buy products which I receive a commission for. I have a few silly little mainstream sites so if anyone ever presses hard enough for an example, I just give them one of those URLs.

Anyone ever have this happen to them?

them: So what do you do for a living?
me: I do internet marketing.
them: Oh, like what?
me: Well, I set up web sites that advertise products, then when they click on them they are sent off to a site like amazon.com and I get paid a commission for the sale.
them: Oh, cool! [pause] Say, I should get you to set up a site for me!

good luck..if they don't like you it won't matter what you tell 'em..

and if you don't like them it won't matter eiether

i told my inlaws - they only care if i'm making money - my ex already got the house!!

tell them the truth but let them know you make big bucks and they shouldn't care.
