I tell them when they ask, but i have to admit that I didn´t have a date since I´m married. People who have a problem with my job aren´t really interested in me, so who cares what they think.

Sometimes it´s a problem at parties. I don´t want friends having a problem with my job. That´s the part when I tell them what I used to do and what I do as a hobby now.

A really good friend of mine (the one that got me into this business) advised me to use the "internet marketing" line too.

To be quite honest, I found that makes the most sense because mainstream people don't really understand the jist of what we do. They have these pre-conceived notions we're shacked up in our "darkrooms" gripping ourselves and occassionally cranking out filth and perversion.

I usually tell them that Perversion is Cleo's department.

Seriously though, it doesn't matter who thinks what. I have about as much respect for garbage collectors as I do for politicians and adult webmasters.

Nobody is in position to judge anyone for that matter.

Both of my parents know what I do but none of the extended family on either side knows, with the exception of one uncle who's only seven years older than I am. As for the rest, somehow I don't think my southern-bred bible thumping aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents would take it real well, and I'm a big advocate of peace in the family

How I describe what I do depends entirely upon the person asking. I use the "internet marketing" line most often... I've found most people have so little understanding of that phrase they tend to let it go at that. I have used "I work in the adult entertainment field" a couple of times and gotten interestingly mixed results.

I kind of resent having to hide behind fancy "titles" when talking about my work. I'm in no way ashamed of or embarrassed by what I do; however, I'm also painfully aware that discretion is oftentimes the better part of valor... okay so I'm actually the poster child for nonconfrontationality and believe the path of least resistance is always best

Yes, and then we all go out and get a beer.

Another vote for 'Intenet Marketing' here...depending on the circumstances.

If it's a really old lady and I don't wanna watch her keel over...the canned answer

If it's pretty much anyone else...I'm in online adult entertainment! Actually, I very rarely get a negative response. And make sure to carry about biz cards with one of my main sites on it...I've given out more than a few of those

I'm quite honest with people that I think the world would be a better place if more folks were more open and honest about their sexual desires

Hey, my new neighbors still talk to me!
