Actually, this kind of thing can be a good thing for the industry...the more "taboo" we are, the more people want what we have. If hardcore porn was too available, they wouldn't come to us looking for it. It also helps when people see us as this mysterious industry full of shady people who will provide them pleasure.

Whenever I return from conventions, my friends don't want to to hear some bullshit about 2257 seminars, dining with fellow webmasters and talking about our wives and kids, etc. They want to hear about debauchery...people shitting in urinals, living like rockstars, snorting coke off the backs of tranny hookers and 100's of nude women just running around with their tits hanging out. Even though there is MUCH less debauchery at our tradeshows than the typical insurance salesman convention, evertyone wants to think of us as rebels with no cares in the world.

You've just nailed anyone that knows what I do for a living.

A long time ago, I got an email from someone I knew in high school. We exchanged the usual "catch up" things, and I told him I was an adult webmaster. His next email told me he was taking a business trip to Dallas soon and could I fix him up with somebody? How we got from "working on the computer" in SoCal to having an intimate knowledge of Dallas hookers I know not. Apparently, everyone who has anything at all to do with sexual activities, however remotely, knows everyone else.

The temptation to see if I could find a Dallas transvestite with a sense of humor was overwhelming, though.

The guy was an asshole in high school and grew up to be an asshole adult.

I've been to a lot of conventions and managed to miss the debauchery part completely. Drank a lot of coffee, though. The only time I got drunk was when Pattycake* decided it was a damned shame I'd never had a Black Russian.
