Porn stars from across the globe have shared an inside glimpse at how their friends, family and other loved ones discovered they work in the sex business.
Taking anonymously to a lively thread of Reddit, the men and women revealed their experiences of being exposed as sex workers, and the reactions of their loved ones.
Many shared the funny side of their profession, with a swinger couple recalling how the husband’s father-in-law walked in on him filming a scene – and thought he was cheating on his wife.
Elsewhere a webcam girl revealed the more sinister side, admitting she felt ‘unsafe’ after her real name was exposed by an unknown viewer in a chat room.
And one woman, who moved to London to become a porn star, even revealed how her adoptive, religious family disowned her after she confessed her profession.
Kicking off the conversation, one woman explained that she was a ‘hotwife’ – meaning she would film scenes with her husband as they slept with other people.
Revealing how her family and loved ones discovered their profession, she wrote: ‘I make amateur content and post it here on Reddit and on Pornhub. My cousin’s now ex-husband stumbled across my Reddit account and very awkwardly tried to tell me how great he thought my content was. It came across as weird and creepy and I kind of just dodged around his comments.’
She continued: ‘Another time my husband and I were playing with a friend of ours, and my father in law accidentally saw through the front door.
‘The worst part about that was that I couldn’t be seen from his view point, so two weeks later he tried to confront my husband about how he knew he was cheating on me, and we had to explain to him about our lifestyle. He was very embarrassed, and now likes to pretend that we aren’t into the lifestyle.’
