This is one of those posts that comes up every 2 or 3 months. It's the "I'm ashamed of what I do so I lie about it...What is YOUR lie?" post.

My family knows what I do, as do my friends. I don't lie about it. If someone finds out I'm a photographer and asks what kind of photography I do, I tell them "I do girlie photography," which is what it is and should be to anyone who's comfortable with it.

I don't call it "pornography," because that is a pejorative description literally meaning "pictures/writings of whores." It's a term that belongs to people who don't like it. It shouldn't be used self-descriptively by people in the industry. We are in the "adult entertainment industry" not the "porn industry" if you really want the industry to prosper.
