Hey guys. I'm a new aspiring Toronto Adult film star and SW.
I wanted to come on here and ask what are your opinions on dating someone in the porn/adult content industry/ SW. Would you consider it? Would you date or marry a SW? Would it bother you? Would you ask them to stop?
I just want to start a conversation and hear opinions. All opinions Welcome!

This thread is interesting considering I just exited a client-turned-civie relationship (though Ive had several throughout my years as Florence). Previously Ive always either voluntarily or been asked to leave my Florence life behind to pursue the relationship. Though I don't ever regret it, I find that I have to severely downgrade my lifestyle in order to do so. The power interplay is off balance and resentment grows. I think I've just come to accept that it is super difficult for me to leave the industry behind because I really love it - the relationships not just with the clients but with other providers - the network of women is just so strong and supportive - we're all educated and compassionate people and have a strong community feeling. I feel super empowered and in my skin. The issues we came upon in the end were - 1. He wouldn't be proud to show me off as an escort. 2. He didn't want to physically share me with anyone else. 3. He literally wanted me to depend on him financially - and this last point was what caused the most friction because I'm too much of an independent person to let that happen. Aside from this, I just really enjoy escorting!! Check back on me when I master another income stream that makes comparable mula though.
Well, this is an interesting topic. Thank you for setting this up.
I've dated a SP before. Unfortunately, it didn't last long because I was living in Ontario while she was living in BC. She move back to East Asia to be with her family because of Covid-19. Hence, our relationship didn't last long.
Firstly, Ms Lexi Laila, no matter what we tell you, you have to make a decide rather or not to stay in the SP/SW industry. If you don't make this decision yourself - you could regret it for the rest of your life.
Second, whoever you choose to be your lover/Significant other (SO) - S/he must respect you as a person and respect your decision. If your lover/SO cannot accept your decision to stay in this industry - I don't see how your relationship could survive in the future.
Third, are your future goals, temperament and personality align with each other? For example, are you planning to have kids in the future? If so, can you, your lover/SO and your future children handle this colourful lifestyle - especially when you want to be a porn star where your videos might end up on Xvideo/Pornhub forever....?
Fourth, As Ms. Florence Yi have mention about her experience - being in love with someone and getting out of the industry is easy. But, staying together as a couple takes a lot of commitment, perseverance, respect, sacrifice and hard work. For example, is your lover/SO willing to leave his friends, relatives, siblings, and his parents behind just to be with you or are you willing to sacrifice your lifestyle and your independence just to be with him? Indeed, as Ms Florence Yi has mention in her posted, she didn't regret her decision because she choose this path.
Lastly, love is blind. It's really hard to put into words cause when you are love with someone - you don't usually see all the blind spots or the negative aspect of your lover/SO. So, before you commit to anything - just take the time to know them as a person, and see if your lifestyle mash with each other. I'll probably recommend
seeing each other circle of influence (such as friends and family) to see if you/them are comfortable in that environment. If so, then maybe try setup a living arrangement with each other for eight months to a year before you decide any goals or future plans.
Hope this helps. Cheers and good luck with your future career, Lexi, and welcome back Florence!
