Do your friends know that you're in this biz ?

So simple question.
Did you tell to your friends and your family what are you doing online ?
I mean, do they know you're in adult biz ?

I told to few friends of mine, but still not to all of them

yes you're right. We're not doing anything illegal. But don't you think it's a little "hard" to tell your family about that...

A few VERY close friends. Family for the most part no.

They dont need to know. I do 40%+ mainstream now as well so there is no need for me to explain what I do in the adult end.

Why mention specifics? I think people do this to brag.
"I'm in Internet marketing" usually answers the questions just fine.

You sell shit, you're not a porn star. Why make it bigger than it is?

Yes. Friends and family know.

Most other's not in the 'inner circle' know I am a webmaster/make my bling on-line, but beyond that they do not know the specifics of what I do. Just that I run an on-line business.

my friends think its cool, i always tell girls i date too. if shes going to get offended that i do porn shes probably a prude and i wouldnt want to date her anyway. it works out really good actually. but so far i havent found any girls that dont like the fact that i do porn.

After being in online porn full time for 8+ years I think all my friends ARE in porn now.

No, i don't think so, everyone i know, knows what i do and they even know my GF is an Adult Model, but they also know she does does work with guys on film. No one really cares as long as we are working and making money, everyone is very supportive.

yes they know

no need to lie. but also no need to brag, which i don't do.

but the reality is this biz has me making more annually than all of them combined. the potential hate comes from so-called "friends" who are still miserable working 9-5 jobs and see that my associates and me have broken free from that corporate whoring and slavery.

I operate a mainstream business in addition to my adult enterprises, so I am fairly discreet about who I tell about my adult business - but some of my friends and a few family members know.
