Furry Girl’s post about her dad finding out about her porn work:
One of the most commonly asked questions of sex workers is, “But do your parents know?!”, generally spoken in a mock-concerned, barely-containing-their-excitement voice, ready to hear about my inner turmoil of how I want nothing more than to be able to make my parents proud of me, yet am burdened with the shame of being a fallen woman.
When I started out, I wasn’t sure how my father would react when he eventually found out about the porn thing, and I had no immediate plans to tell him. He has post-it notes on his coffee table to help him figure out how to work his television remote control, so I wasn’t worried that my luddite dad was going to stumble across my web site.
A year or two in, a teenaged cousin found my web site. I’m not sure how this worked in his head, but he apparently decided that there was more satisfaction to be had in tattling on me to the family than there was in not telling the family a story that started out, “I was looking at porn, and…”
So, I got The Call from my father.
“Is this true- that you’re naked on some kind of internet sites?”
He sounded a touch angry, but not ragingly so. I considered whether I should just lie. I could get away with lying because he had no means of disproving me.
“Yes, it’s true.”
