But yeah, that's one thing I was skeptical about with the work atmosphere. I work in the restaurant industry now and my coworkers are terrible, I could only imagine how bad the adult industry would be.

I've had two friends do exactly this type of work now, and mostly it's just a job. Neither of them strike me as the types who would even care about porn if they weren't getting paid, and the companies don't mind that at all.

My friend who's doing it currently up in Seattle says it's a very professional atmosphere and the only weird thing is that your computer screen often has something on it for work reasons that you would get fired for having on it at any other job.

I don't see why you couldn't put it on your portfolio either. Of course you'd take it pretty easy on the samples and probably make it removable if clients were conservative. But otherwise, it would just show lots of clients you can be paid to do work that goes outside the mainstream. A lot of non-porn customers might appreciate that.

So the objections you've listed don't really hold water. The thing you have to ask yourself, and this would keep me from wanting to take such a job, can you stand to be inundated with a lot of visual images of potentially gross sexual stuff all day long that you are not choosing for yourself at all? Many people can handle that fine, and if they have programming or design skills, I say go make the bucks. You are not necessarily a prude if you think it would make you nauseated to be exposed to that sort of thing all the time. A lot of porn is plain ugly, and you don't get to choose if you're getting paid to work with it.
