Have you done ANY non-adult stuff? If so, you can say you did marketing for many companies including _______ and ______. By mainstream I mean actual mainstream, not the BS that passes for mainstream on GFY. Viagra and illegal gambling isn't mainstream.
When I speak to mainstream clients, I mention the work we've done for Coca-Cola, Merril Lynch, and the US Postal Service. Often I'll also mention Girls Gone Wild in a nod to what our major market is, partly in case they check into us. If they are going to find out anyway, better that I didn't totally try to hide the fact that some of our clients do adult, but I focus on the big name mainstream clients when taking to mainstream people.
If anyone reading this hasn't done any mainstream work, this is one small reason to do a little bit. If you're an affiliate, sign up with Amazon and do your thing promoting a certain niche of book or video. It gives you a respectable and true answer when someone asks what you do, in case you ever need it.
That's also one reason I'm involved with Apache and Linux development and with setting web standards. If I ever sell the company to Ali or whatever and want to work mainstream, Google will find my name all over the LVM-devel mailing list, Linux RAID devel, apache-modules-devel, on public vulnerability reports, etc. As far as Google is concerned, I'm an active open source developer and security professional.
