I would never tell people about any adult work because at least one of the following is guaranteed to happen:
- they will think you're lazy and taking the easy way out, so they don't respect you as much
- they will silently judge you harshly, never say it to your face, yet pretend they don't care
- they'll tell at least a few people they know (especially whom you both know) who will also tell others
- their ego will get irrationally angry and jealous that your hourly is much higher than theirs with fewer qualifications
- guys will assume you're either a slut or have low morals or are just not long term relationship material no matter how much you tell them otherwise or do things to show you aren't that way
- girls will also assume you're a slut who wants to fuck their boyfriend lmao. Or that you'll have a threesome for free with whomever and it's not a big deal because "you basically do that stuff anyway, you're used to it" (even if you're not an escort)
- other girls will befriend you for ulterior motivates: so you teach them how to make money in adult and then they cut you off as soon as they learn the basics. But they'll be back when the money gets stagnant and they want to steal more of your hustle tips
- they will think it's appropriate to ask all sorts of invasive questions pertaining to your occupation (details, profit, etc) that they wouldn't dare ask someone with w different occupation, because they don't respect yours
- if all of the above aren't true, then they fetishize and exoticize you and force you to become the token bad girl who doesn't follow the rules, and they'll get lowkey annoyed any time you act out of unison with their stereotype
- they will expect you to pay for things since you make ~soooo much money~
- you'll end up attracting a lot of people who are criminals or bad personality disorders (sociopaths, narcissists, borderlines, etc) because those types want to be friends with people who hustle and swindle for a living
A decade in the industry wearing many different hats has taught me the above. It's definitely more trouble than it's worth. It's better to keep it to yourself to remain sane. The perk is that you get all the benefits and none of the downsides!
