Places can fire you for pretty much anything. This is one thing that scares me about having done nude modeling. Luckily I used a fake name so they never surfaced. It depends on the company.
I agree if someone wants to fire you they will. I used to be a manager and when we wanted to get rid of someone you are pretty much able to find something to get rid of them. If your worried about your career better to not do it. If you already have just hope they arent found. They may not necessarily freak. Ive worked for employers that knew I was a stripper in corporate positions, even dealing with kids and didnt have a problem. You might just have to work a little harder than the average person to prove your worth and intelligence.
If you're good enough, and you're in the private sector, you shouldn't worry about nude photos. I interviewed a girl recently for a sales job who had been in Playboy, and a simple search of her name on Google turned up a plethora of nude photos of her. She didn't get the job, but it was because we had a better candidate...but if she'd have been good, I'd have hired her, no problem.
There are some obvious jobs that will get you fired for this sort of thing....teachers (or any "school" job), church jobs, companies that have a "wholesome" image (I doubt a Bible publisher wants anyone that's posed nude working for them), etc. But generally speaking, if you're good at your job, and can't easily be replaced, I don't think you have anything to worry about.
You reminded me of an interview I went on last year. There is a Christian organization about five miles away that publishes Christian books and has something to do with Missionary work. They gave me a moral clause paper they wanted me to sign. In the paper it basically said they oppose living together, and various other things. As it turns out I didn't get the job but not because of this. Personally I could never work at a place that puts restrictions on what you do in your private life. Recently I sent my resume to several Catholic organizations and they state on their website you must be a practicing Catholic.
Even though they never found my nude photos, my last employer fired me for trumped up charges. They accused me of attacking the head of HR on a day I wasn't even there! The reason they wanted to get rid of me was because they decided to fire my boss and get rid of anyone who seemed positive towards him, plus they wanted to bring in a new director and she wanted to bring in her buddies. This is a government job that has recently been in trouble for corruption. My point is yes if they want to get rid of you they will.
in the way of a more general answer, any job which involves the 'public trust' is probably going to be difficult for someone with an 'adult entertainment' presence on the internet ... no matter how big or small. 'Public Trust' jobs involve working with other people's money, other people's bodies, other people's children etc. as well as law / law enforcement, and just about any gov't position that involves contact with the public.
Oh don't get me wrong, if an employer REALLY wants to fire you, they will find a way. It may take forever, and it can be a painful process on both sides, but yeah, they'll ultimately fire you.
My point was, if you're a valuable commodity, and your boss/organization knows it, nude pics aren't gonna get you fired. I've got 9 people on my sales team...6 of them are untouchable in this regard. I wouldn't care if pictures of them fellating a goat showed up in my inbox one day. They produce revenue for me and I wouldn't even think of firing any of the 6.
I'd love to see a photo of someone fellating a goat :D. You sound like a cool employer but many employers I still think would fire if they had a moral clause.
My reply to anyone who says they've seen nude pictures of me on the internet is: "that would imply that you are looking for nude pictures." Normally the conversation ends, or the person asks to buy. So far I've not been fired.

Actually, now that I think of it, 6 years ago I hired a former NFL cheerleader. At the first national sales meeting after she was hired, some of the cattier female sales reps "found" pics of this former cheerleader on the internet in a skimpy bikini. She had posed for a calendar wearing a string bikini that didn't leave much to the imagination. Not quite nude pics....but in the same vein.
This got all around the company, even back to the rep in question. No problem. Didn't faze me or my bosses.
Maybe in some companies it's different, but like I said...if you're making someone money, you're safe.
