From the start I told all my family and friends.
At the end of the day I am not ashamed of what I do, in fact I am very pleased.
If others do not like it, then tough.
99% of my site has been filmed by me. I now do DVD's, and sometimes I am in front of the camera too.
In fact the response has been positive.
The other reason Itold everybody (including the local police) was that if you say you do porn, you get some thick twat who then thinks you do child porn. So I felt the best option was to be open. This way I felt I was legal and no one could black mail me.
But then again, I consider what I do fun sex and not porn. In the UK there is no legal definition to what porn is, so I sate that I deal with sex, not porn. If someone says that I am a porn merchant, I ask them to tell me what they mean by porn, and most of the time, they are so stupid, they cannot answer.
As I tell my dad (who is religious), I say - yes its true I am low life scum, but at least I admit it, but take me to any 'decent' person (i.e. doctor, layer, accountant, nurse and so on), they are the ones buying the porn.
On the very few times someone is a bit off with me (yes, because I do porn, for some reason it gives others the right to judge me, yet I would never dream of judging others), I ask them if they have ever looked at porn. When they say no, I then ask them why something as natural as sex offends them. In truth, I often find after chatting to people the only reason why they are offended, is because they were brought up to think that, yet when I give them a chance to think about it, many turn to me, and say "to be honest, its not that offensive". I have even had girls doing shoots a few weeks later after telling me how wrong they think porn is.
But as I say, people know me, I tell them what I do. I am very open. If they do not like it, then its up to them. I would rather be open than live a lie.
