How would you react to learning that your family member does porn?

Would you support them, try to persuade them to stop, or would you outright reject them and cease associating with them? Would you be sad or angry?

Also, would your reaction depend on whether the family member were male or female? How about whether or not they were your mother, father, sister, brother, daughter or son?

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
I don’t feel there is anything wrong with making a living doing porn, but the industry is riddled with drug abuse and individuals with bad intentions. I’d probably be concerned for my family member, but I wouldn’t judge them negatively.

You'd feel that way about your own daughter? You would honestly be okay with your own daughter doing porn?

Well if it was a case of her coming to me to ask if it was a good career choice I'd strongly advise her against it and I would have hoped I'd pointed her in a good enough direction to pursue a decent career already, but if it was a case of she'd already decided to do it regardless, what am I going to do? Disown her? 🤔

Serious talk here. I know a girl who does the kind of this only fan kind of gig. More softcore porn than hard and she is pulling in some serious green. Like the amount of green that most average families would never see.

She has an ex-husband (or bf or something)and 2 kids. She's happy and she puts her kids into a nice private school up north. At the end of the day isn't that what matters......UTILITY.

I wish that my fellow men would stop making life unfairly easy for women. Ugh.

It wouldn't be hate; it would be emptiness and indifference towards her.

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.


- Kahlil Gibran - The Prophet


If you do a good job as a parent, then you should have instilled in your children a strong sense of self-worth and ambition, but it is never a certainty as to where the arrow lands. Why punish them with ex-communication? To what end? You can express disapproval, and state your reasons why and who knows maybe that might give them pause to reflect on their choices, but you cannot change them, the most you can do is be there for them if and when they need you. I know you might find it hard to envisage, but there is a space that exists between tacit approval and abject denouncement.

Why do you work so many hours? How do you have the time to game? Also, do you make most of your posts while at work?

i never sleep and i'm lightning quick, allot around 19% of my time for games and community

I'm pretty sure I did by this response.

100 hours a week typing on a computer. That's not a mans job. Especially since you can do it in your PJ's.

nope, i'm constant k (i thought you knew this by now)

100 hours a week of math, code, other such things

Not children. We all know what happens in the porn industry, and how broken or in difficulty people are taken advantage of, and lose themselves entirely. Nobody should want that for their children, or for them to even remotely be in a headspace or situation where they feel they need to sell their dignity and themselves.

Anyone else, I’d still be concerned. I don’t think there’s any such thing as a mentally healthy or okay sex worker.
