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?
...
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.


The division is simple really -- jobs where who you are married to is material (politician, or a serious security clearance is required), and those where it isn't. Obviously if you intend to run for office, porn stars are not for you.

One example given above was of someone parading his slutty girlfriend and getting fired. That's the point -- you do not need to advertise. Doesn't matter if your boss is a born again, if they haven't a clue who your spouse is. It is none of their business, unless you are stupid enough to make it their business. At worst some HR drones will know from your benefits/insurance forms that you are married to Jane YourLastNameHere, and that will mean absolutely nothing to them even if they know your wife's nom du porn and frantically jerk off to her DVDs nightly.

If you are married to an ex porn star, you don't fraternize with your co-workers. It is very easy not to.

If you have burning ambition and want to be a CEO, you need to start your own company if you have a porn wife.
