Would You Work in the Adult Entertainment Business to Make Money?

This is something I did for over 20 years...I was a burlesque dancer in the 1970's and '80's, and made a good living while raising 2 children....

There's a lot of different jobs out there...as writers, entertainers, promotions, and the list goes on....

If I could make a living as a writer in the adult business, I would be there in a heartbeat...

Would you make a living in this field? And if so, what would it be?

Share your thoughts....

I would defiantly do it! I'd love to start by producing/directing/writing a couple and then just wind up a producer. It would be an awesome job and it's am extremely lucrative industry. I have some great ideas for niche sites : )

Sounds like a good idea! But I don't know. I am shy.

I was a stripper/exotic dancer in the early to mid 70s. I loved it. It was a blast from my first time on stage. My schtick was to look the audience members directly in the eyes as I took off my clothes - very slowly. I have recently started blogging about those days at www.blog.lovesexlaughs.com

I don't think there is anything wrong with working in the adult industry as long as you are doing it of your own free will. Tastefully done; the naked body of a man or woman is beautiful thing.

I actually admire many burlesque dancers from the past.

  Sylvia, you say that "Tastefully done; the naked body of a man or woman is beautiful thing." You've obviously never seen my naked body -- not that I'm offering.

  We are all beautiful Joel, at 39 my body would most likely not be very thrilling to any 19 year old guy, but I know to my husband I am the image of a goddess when he sees me naked.

  Um, if you think you're 39-year body might not be thrilling to a 19-year-old guy, how thrilling do you think my somewhat flabby, almost 56-year-old body would be to a 19-year-old woman? Even less, I think.

  Joel,
  
  I don't care what you say about yourself YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!
  just stay away from those 19 year olds

  Joel,
  
  I think Sylvia's trying to tell you that at your age, you're approximately as beautiful as three nineteen-year-old women.
  
  I'm not saying I'm on board with that, but maybe that's where she's heading. Me, I'm only as beautiful as two nineteen-year-olds.
  
  Lord, I hope they're twins. But not the creepy kind.

  wherethehellwasi (aka Charlie), so are you saying that the exchange rate on my body is three nineteen-year-old women? If so, where can I cash in? And can I keep my body for a while after the exchange, you know, just to verify that the three nineteen-year-old women really were the equal of me?

  Sylvia, you said, "I don't care what you say about yourself YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!"
  
  In an earlier comment you mentioned your husband. Damn!

I almost auditioned for a neo-burlesque group after an amateur's night... and after encouragement... but for whatever reason I didn't audition... so yes... it has long been a temptation... the retro-burlesque... and no... why? a combination of insecurity and not needing to prove anything.

to make money, no... for love of entertainment and art/music/dance/theatre? yes.
