lmfao. My parents don't know I'm a stripper. My step mom does. She says she'd do it if she had the body/confidence.
My mom knows... I just came out and told her, because she's kind of cool in that she doesn't stigmatize sex work. She gets a bit weirded out though, but sometimes says she wants to try it! ;D
My parents know and they don't have an issue with it.
You can flip burgers for $100/week and come home smelling like greasy cheeseburgers or you can get on cam and masturbate for $100/hour. I'll take the $100/hour any day.
you guys have super open minded parents, thats for sure
My whole family knows and pretty much anybody in my life knows. I don't really like keeping secrets. Everybody seems pretty ok with it, so that's pretty awesome for me I think :D
My parents probably wouldn't care, but my siblings, and mega religious extended family members would probably go fucking crazy. I really don't care what they think or how they would react though. I just don't tell them because its not their business, and I don't want to deal with the crazy drama that would start. However, if they found out, I would feel exactly the same way I do now. Indifferent.
I told my parents I was going to strip and do porn before I even started doing it. Thankfully I have very understanding parents! My mom was scared for me at first because she thought I was going to get with a pimp, street walk and get killed since she didn't know anything about the sex industry. After a few months, she saw that I was taking care of myself and not becoming some kind of sex worker stereotype. Now she is very supportive, even if she doesn't totally "get" the whole sex industry thing. Sometimes they just need time and to know that it's not as terrible as all the lifetime movies make it seem :p
My mom knows. I used to escort and experienced a shit ton of trauma because of it. Now that I'm somewhat safe, I thought she'd be relieved but she's not. She says she's not judging me but she's disappointed that I'm not using my brain which of course is BS. She had no problem with the other mind numbing work I've done. Flipping burgers, taking phone calls, don't exactly require me to use my brain much. I'm pretty sure that like most people, she's just put off by the stigma. Oh well. I refuse to deal with the bullshit from regular jobs AND take a pay cut.
My Mum knows and thinks it's hilarious but doesn't want too much information. She does harp on about 'real jobs' and 'pensions' though. My Dad would have gone ballistic for a while until he'd realise that there was nothing he could do about it, and would have stoically dealt with it. My brother and his girlfriend knows, they are cool with it, but my brother doesn't talk about it. His girlfriend loves hearing about it though. The in-laws (bf's parents who live nearby) think I do sex phone chat only as we're not sure what they would think of camming, although his sister knows the whole extent.
My whole family knows too!! In the past they have visited me on cam to say "hey what's up, why didn't you call me back". lol I openly discuss my career moves with family. I don't go into deep details of shows because well that would be weird. However they get it so when someone tries to say ohh what does your family think, I'll say..." why not ask them yourself ??" ** sends text... hey, you up? cool!... log in to *****site.**. Guys that have attempted to throw this in my face generally get their asses handed to them with ease. I've even had a few people pop in and fake that they are one of my parents. Lol Or they may say that they know my parents and will tell them. lol I'm like go right ahead or if you want I can have them log in here so you can tell them AGAIN. lol.
I'm so jealous of you all :(
My family know. If it's quiet and I'm not in free chat I'll often phone my mum and have to hang up abruptly as I've got a customer. My mum even keeps an eye out for cheap fetish shoes for me :D
Soooooo my parents would kill me. Probably disown me! :P
My mom knows, she even asked how it worked, and what people are like. So i just showed the website and she was like "i hope you can make some money out of it."
Nowadays with Recession and eu crisis my moms bickers alot about money and that she has less and less for herself, so i make comments like "Wanna borrow my webcam?" and she just laughs. :D
I got a cheque in the post.. my dad picked it up and asked me why I had post from somewhere in Belize.. (this was 4 years ago). I explained.. as I suck at lying. My dad said it was a good money maker. My mum wasn't so impressed.
Now I just talk about it as if its a regular job. I'm not ashamed:)
For me its a not talked about subject. I believe she knows since i spend hours on the laptop. Get sexy underwear through the post. (the amount of times i forget to have it sent to my place rather than hers) She knows I'm a PSO anyway. I doubt she would be surprised If I told her, however I don't want the 3rd degree on how my ass/tits/face/pussy could end up on the websites for all to see. Funny since its out there already!!!
yea if it werent for them seeing my son they probably wouldnt talk to me for a couple months...matter of fact im going to make sure they dont "accept" it just to see my son because im sure if they ask me to come over my mom will probably talk shit the whole time im there and i'll take my happy ass back home if that happens
Whenever I need to tell my dad something that I'm too chicken to say in person, I tell my stepmother and ask her not to tell him. He eventually got over it.
My Dad found out by mistake I wasn't planning on telling him. He saw a post I made about it on another forum site. My mom I told it was more phone sex and she said that was fine, but I am sure she knows there is more to it, since I always tell her I need computer access to do it lol. All my friends know. Only one "friend" has ever said anything bad about it, but I could really care less what she says since we don't hang out anymore these days. She has her own life and I have mine. I haven't hung out with her in several years. Everyone else I know is very open minded which is a good thing because so am I. I wouldn't make new friends who are judgmental or can't be open minded.
My family knows. I had to tell them something, because they were just being too nosey. I have been camming since the 1st of November and have not had to borrow any money, not even thru the holidays and they were speculating too much. I started out with just telling my siblings in November but eventually just told them all. I think they thought I was doing something illegal so just to not have them snooping I told it. Life is much easier now. I didn't really care what they thought, because this is making me independent, but it's cool that nobody has said anything too negative.
I could never tell my parents about it. My husband told his family because he thought they would be cool about it and now he either doesn't speak to, or is uncomfortable with, each person he told.
My family is very religious and wouldn't deal well with it. They've gotten really upset over much more minor issues. I think my step-mom might suspect, but she hadn't come right out and asked me about it. But I used to always talk about work and now I never do. When they ask me questions about work, I give very general answers then change the subject. I'm sure it's obvious how uncomfortable I am.
I spoke to my parents before I started doing any work - first when I wanted to start stripping, and then when I wanted to move to cams. They are totally fine with it as long as I am safe and happy, and am paying my taxes and staying within the law. We don't talk about it a whole lot because, well, we just have better stuff to talk about! But I will talk about getting stuff for work, shopping for work, having to work so I can't do something, etc etc. Same as any other job. Sadly - my sister is the one that is the least supportive, and won't talk to me about ANY aspect of the job. I'm not really sure why, but she has made some comments about how she is ashamed to tell her friends that that is what I do when they ask. I think she's actually just insecure about being judged, which is so sad. I am currently trying to figure out how to talk to my boyfriend's mother, though. We're going for lunch next week, and I have to tell her (I hate having secrets!!). I'm pretty freaked out about that, honestly. She is really loving and open-minded, and I'm pretty sure that she will just say that she is happy if we are. But still - its a hard one to bring up!! Luckily, I think she may have an idea, as she does our taxes (she is CPA) and last year (when I was still stripping) she knew that I had a night job, but a really flexible one, and made a lot of money, and had only cash earnings...she's not dumb, I think she has an inkling! Argh- Wish me luck!! LOL
I don't speak about my job much, and I'm getting tired of people asking "How does that work? (chatting at home on the computer)" LOL. I just say that I work online in a chatroom. I really don't like to lie though, so if someone decides to keep questioning me about it, I'm gonna eventually come right out and say it...but I'll exclude the words "sex," "toy," and "naked." :P
I remember when people at my church were talking about how one of the girls there admitted to being a lesbian (or bisexual). That's nobody's business either. Church isn't supposed to be used for gossiping about what so and so is doing, but sadly so many churchgoers (women, especially) treat it that way.
