I think you are both onto something and way off base. First of all, I don't see how marrying an (ex) porn star can be detrimental to your career.
It is my fault for not doing a better job of laying out the dilemma in my invented scenario.
Could you use your imagination and invent a situation (no matter how fantastical) where a fictional person (not yourself) has a job that might suffer (either because of clients, co-workers, or bosses) if they married a woman who has pornographic pictures and movies readily available on the internet?
So far nobody responding on this thread can even conceive of such a situation. Am I really so far off base? Could President Obama still have been elected if he was married to a porn actress? What if she did bestiality porn? What about your local pastor? What about the CEO of Proctor & Gamble? An FBI or CIA agent? A junior executive whose boss is a born again christian? An advertising executive whose clients include "wholesome" family values companies? An army general being considered for a fourth star? An upper class family in New England whose father is the president of the uptight country club? Anybody with a mother?
You really can't imagine a life where this sort of thing matters? Nobody else can either? It is easier to imagine getting married to a porn star than having a career or life where that would be a negative thing?
It is one thing to respond saying that to a specific person it does not matter (I can get that), but the responses from people who can't imagine how it could possibly matter to anybody are a bit unexpected.
OK. I get it now. You just had it presented a different way. I can agree with this scenario. I still kind of disagree with the class issue, but I can see how certain jobs/ bosses might be problematic. I doubt my job would like it, but I guess it would be a matter of discretion. I mean, who wants to be the guy who walks into the bosses office and say "i was watching an interracial gangbang scene and so and so's wife was the guest of honor". I can see how it might cause trouble. I guess that's the decision you have to make. Can you steel yourself enough to be prepared for the day your secret comes out.
