My coming into the industry was something that was unexpected, but not really out of the norm for me. I started off with singing. That got expensive, overly-time consuming, and unforgiving. I've had a life-long love affair with horses, so I turned my time and attenion to training (I have ridden horses since before I could walk). After working my way up, I found that I had to move on, and I tried a few different things. I did art, etc, but when I got together my husband (we met on the internet 8 years ago), he was already in the industry. This was not shocking or upsetting to me in the least. In fact, I thought it was a bonus, because myself, being a very sexual person, was pleased to finally find a man who could handle me as I was, instead of me having to tone myself down for him. After that it was just natural progression that I would get involved with him in the industry, and we've been business partners ever since. I couldn't possibly ask for a better partner. As for the kids knowing, they're a little too small to understand just yet, but when they're old enough and responsible enough, I have no problem explaining things to them. I don't find shame in my business. Sure, I have a few family members who don't know EXACTLY what I do, but I haven't told them simply because they are elderly, old-fashioned, and religious, and I see no reason to offend their sensibilities. Anyone else though I have no problem telling, although I do mainstream work as well, and generally don't just blurt out "Yes I'm in the adult industry". I think that's a little more fear because I have small children, and the possible reprecussions involved as far as that is concerened. I love my children desperately and would never want to have any problems where they are involved.
Of course, I am careful not to expose them to things, but the average person has no idea of the measure I take to avoid having my children see anything they shouldn't at their age.
