(Potentially NSFW) Do adult entertainment workers tell their families and friends what they do?

My internal knowledge is limited.

I have a friend who is an exotic dancer. Her family, other than her husband, know where she works, but believe she is a cocktail waitress. Her hubby of course knows everything.

A woman from my hometown strips in a club south of here. She’s upfront about it. When people ask why she tells them how much she makes. They shut up fast. I say good for her.

I wouldn’t – they might ask for a family discount.

As an ex high profile call girl, my family and friends reveled in the money I made, the places I went, the ‘celebs’ I saw. They also had no problems asking me for gifts and loans. When things went bad for me many years later, they were the first to ‘see it coming’. lol

I had a cousin that worked at one of those XXX call centers for awhile. She had no problem telling anyone what she did for a living. She even gave my step-father a sample (nothing sexual; she just showed him how she talked to customers) and made him red as a tomato over the phone. She was shameless and amazing. :)

I say “was” because she passed away a couple of years ago, in case anyone wonders.

Haha….I wouldn’t consider it a career to be proud of no.
“Hey grandma, guess what? I am starring in a new porn flick next week!” lol

@Coloma I’d be pretty proud of bringing home anywhere from $400–1400 per scene and get to be naked the whole time.

And what’s even better is that females make more (for a change!). Men have to break into gay porn to make good money. Gay for pay, boys?

I’ve told Paul all about my pole-dancing career, as well as my tenure as a crack-whore.

I would sincerely hope they have enough job pride to be willing/wanting to tell their family, although I may expect it may not always be the wisest thing to do. That is… some people may not react very favorably.

I feel it is a lot better than starving or stealing or doing nothing. It’s work, that’s all.

I befriended a sex worker (NO THERE WERE NO BENEFITS) and her family knows what she does. Her father is still upset about it.
