I was going thru old magazines in my room when I stumbled upon this. Sorry for the crappy photo but I thought it was a really good read. Nina Hartley dispenses very good advice for anyone going into sex work aka becoming a porn star. I posted this here because I think some of it also applies to PSOs (Phone Sex Operators) & other sex workers like this little gem:

6. Do not let any romantic partner shame you for what you do.

The FIRST time they throw your job in your face during an argument, show them the door and lose their number. Do not permit slut shaming for an instant. Shaming is when another projects their issues on to you, using your job as an excuse. It may be hard to stand up to them, but you must. Plus, just accept that your family WILL find out sooner or later and you’ll have to deal with that fallout. I have one sibling who, after 30 years, still barely speaks to me.
