    What do your family & friends think of the fact that you're running an adult website?

    I have a full time job at a Japanese factory. I've started to run an adult website for several months. So many things to do so I'm a little bit busy. My annoying sibling keep asking what the ef I was doing with my laptop all day long. I don't think that's the best idea to tell him what's going on...
    I always wonder how pornstars tell their relatives what they do for a living. Someone could get hurt ;_;

    Anw, I'm a new guy here
    so...
    ..Hello

      No one in my family knows what I do for a living other than "He builds websites and does internet marketing stuff." -- the less they know, the better. If they ever ask at family gatherings, I just talk about Google algorithms, etc. They get bored quickly and change the subject. Then again, I don't have any younger siblings running around, and I don't do any work when my kids are around. If I do, it's in my office behind a locked door where no one is allowed entry.

      Do you still live at home with your parents or something?

          I just say Internet Marketing as my scope stretches from Mainstream/Adult.
          Few friends know but only family member that knows is my Mom and none of them have a problem with it. That may be due to them seeing the income I'm making generally while I'm sleeping.

              They are all cool with it, and have been since the beginning. The last person to find out was my eldery mother who only found out once she saw my picture in the Montreal Gazette, but even she thought it was awesome.

                      I had a ton of family around me recently and I told them 'Internet marketing and building websites." LOL Sound familiar? I'm sure they could figure out its porn but I don't care....I make as much as all of them put together so whatever.

                          Family's always known about it - totally cool with it. Basically they said, "It's an honest living...who cares what others think."

                          They've always been progressive and willing to embrace the unconventional.

                              Over the years, some past military acquaintances suggested that being a porn star was a terrible thing for me to do; I opined that I couldn't help but notice that many of the "complainers" were usually dating no one, or had less than attractive relationships and that they and many of their dates were waaaaaay overweight and had what appeared to be complainer outlooks, while that was not at all the case with the girls I worked with and was well paid for "playing with them in porn". Generally, the aforementioned jerks were quite envious of me being "Dave Cummings" and admitted such. Interesting!

                                              GF didn't like it at first. She said it was "dirty money" and I shouldn't be meddling with it. I said, hey that's where the money to be made is at...and at the end of the day, money is what its all about.

                                              Now that she sees how much I'm making, she's very accepting of it. Though she doesn't like to look at the models.

                                              She doesn't tell anyone exactly what I do. And neither do I. Because there is somewhat of a stigma to it. And I suppose there's certain situations where it could come back and bite you in the ass.

                                              Let's say you have a normal 9-5 job. Of all your coworkers, there's always one in the crowd who loves to talk shit about anyone, to whoever will listen. Running an adult site is the kind of thing someone like that would seize and have a field day with. It would eventually make its way to a supervisor. The supervisor may think "Hmm, if that guy tells a female coworker what he does on the side, who knows how she'll take it?" It would be a lot easier to just get rid of you, than to risk a possible sexual harassment lawsuit.

                                              With that in mind, there's so little to be gained by telling exactly what you do.

                                                  So I see many of us would rather keep quiet about our job unless you have a big paycheck
