Comments on: The first thing potential sex workers need to know: you will be caught by someone http://www.feminisnt.com/2009/the-first-thing-potential-sex-workers-need-to-know/ I'm a pornographer, sex worker, atheist, and former "sex-positive feminist" who grew tired of trying to shoehorn my reality into a useless feminist analysis. I blog my observations as a politically-minded smut peddler, ethical slut, and staunch skeptic. I despise people who project their insecurities onto others, or force sex workers into only two roles: helpless victims and evil patriarchy-colluders. If I ever found a nonprofit, it will be called Start Porn Culture and I will go under the alias Gail Vagines. My activist philosophy is informed primarily by Patrick Swayze's character in Roadhouse: "I want you to be nice until it's time to not be nice."

I admit that my perspective on this is likely skewed, as I've never tried to hide anything and have no experience in that regard. I always find myself talking about the porno I was in and other weird shit in casual conversation, including ones with my mom. Also, being the somewhat solipsist person I am, I forget that most people interact with way more people than I do, so that would increase the chances. I only "know" about 50 or 60 people max, and when you take away internet acquaintances, It's down to like 20, mostly relatives who wouldn't even recognize me now and like 4 friends. So yeah, I'm probably wrong. hmm. I admit that my perspective on this is likely skewed, as I've never tried to hide anything and have no experience in that regard.

It might seem like finding a needle in a haystack, but it's very common, to the point it's pretty much guaranteed.

Between the countless niches of porn and the millions of faces just online, it certainly isn't for sure, especially if the person is going for a less original look/ has no particularly unique features.

That's my wife and I, who consider myself a devoted feminist and certainly pro-freedom for women in all areas, was outed as some kind of dirty boy for even reading this blog. Not to mention even Betty Dodson's blog--a really old crusading feminist. Well, good luck and keep on communicating! It's our only way to continued sanity. --rockethenry Well, I thought I'd add this most small, little addendum to say that you can't even plan to read a sex worker blog without just the person you don't want to see you reading it finding out.

I feel the same way. And honestly, about blogging too. If someone is worried about someone finding their blog, they WILL find it. If you're ashamed of what you're doing, or people finding out what you're doing, you probably shouldn't be doing it. Hear hear. I feel the same way.
