When your parent is in the adult entertainment industry, or if they're busy doing any other kind of sex work, you end up in odd situations that nobody could imagine. In a world that marginalizes consenting adults who profit from their sexuality, even completely legal situations end up with some unforeseen social ramifications for both the worker and their family.

Redditor u/Anya_is_Horny23 wanted to know what it was like for the children of sex workers of all stripes to grow up in a very hostile environment. Unsurprisingly, hundreds of responses paint a very complicated picture.

We looked through countless comments to pick out a few notable examples of how adult entertainment impacts the family dynamic. Whether you're considering going into the industry yourself, or you're simply feeling nosy, these posts are worth reading.

Openness starves the bullies of control

Shame is a hell of a drug

When violence is involved, it can be very scarring

The financial stability can be nice even if there are other aspects that aren't

Schoolmates can be pretty creepy about the whole thing

The anger is intense for some folks

Things seem a lot more chill in Nevada

No party lines allowed when Mom works in phone sex

It's important to remember that the work itself isn't inherently a problem
