For me I "hide" behind a little green cartoon character named Mister Peabody. LOL But it really does depend on what we're talking about here when it comes to family and what you do (or don't do).
I mean, an affiliate just sells porn, usually doesn't shoot it him or herself. But if we're talking being a performer, even an "amateur" one doing niche work, that's a whole differant ballgame.
For the affiliate or anyone "just selling" online porn I would say, if it's an issue, tell your family you do "online marketing". When they ask what you market start talking tech speak, like "Oh, I resell dedicated server packages from independant and network connected hosting companies, usually based offshore trying to break into the American upsell market via cross-promotional..." They're usually thinking about food by this point.
If you're a "performer" then, well, act outraged when Grandma says something, or Uncle Sleazy sees you on PornHub. "That's not ME!!! I'm gonna SUE!!!" Or just smile and shrug your shoulders....:D

Thanks for answering my question MisterPeabody. You've answered this question differently before but this is pretty clear cut.
Yes being male talent and working with models is very different from just any an affiliate setup.
Last summer, just over a year ago today, I stayed with a producer who really isn't making much money currently. He's got a lot of estate setup in other things but continues because he loves girls so much. anyway...
Point is he's been married twice and his 2nd wife split up with him in part because of all the naked models (and I'm sure he indulged himself at the time as well) roaming around the house and with their children there as well.
They were looking at an amicable divorce but then her lawyer decided that they could make some accusations. They then said that he molested his two daughters and because he was a pornographer it played fairly well. It came down to supervised visits at a local YMCA, he said forget it and just writes to his daughters now.
Funny side note... When at his ex's house he got into it and the cops had to come. After a few minutes the cops began to see her for what she really was. Well... fast forward a few months later and 2 of those cops ended up performing in his productions.
When out there it came to light that this producers neighbor was the coworker of his main talent; small world.
People online tend to be in many fronts so covering an affiliate side isn't too hard.
It comes down to what you want in life. Mister Peabody you said once that many people are riddled with regret near the end of their lives for not having lived how they wanted to and doing what others approved of, you are certainly right about that.
