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.

Thank you very much for your story. I think most of us fell into the adult biz. I know I couldn't go to college, rasie a kid, work and then pay off student loans.
As much as we think that times have changed there's even more concern over child protection. Having seen cases where children were removed from a house my advice to you is to make sure you keep videos, content, etc. outside your house. I always preferred buying or renting big houses to set up an office and a lot of people do this, however I don't recommend this if you have children. If you'd like I can search out cases that were lenghty and costly battles of people who simply had home movies of themselves engaging in kinky sex who lost their children or at least during the suit. Get a small office close to your house.
So you trained horses? Where do you live? When I move out onto property I need help with horses.
