Children of adult stars, strippers and sex workers reveal how their parents’ professions affected them

Children of sex workers and adult stars have all spoken out about how they really feel about their parent's job.

For most children, the mere thought of their parents having sex is an absolute no-go zone.

But when elements of sex and nudity make up a lot of their mum or dad's job, it's pretty hard to get away from.

In a world of OnlyFans and online sex work becoming a more common profession, it leaves people wondering how children feel about their parent's career choices.

Curiosity got the better of one person, who took to Reddit to say: "Children of porn stars, what's it like knowing that your parent(s) is in porn?'"

Many of the answers came from the children of mothers who practiced sex work in one way or another.

And a couple admitted it was tough to get their head around.

One replied saying: "My mother was a dominatrix professionally for many years. "Sex therapist by day and dominatrix by night.

"So maybe this is something similar?"

Opening up about their experiences, they added: "I have seen my mother bent over various pieces of furniture in our living room unfortunately when it just came to a walking into her general sex life.

"She's also answered the door when I came home to see her in a harness or in her gear.

"I saw her naked often and she wasn't shy about it."

Another child spoke about their experiences: "I just don't talk to her about it and hope her drug problems slow down.

"All she talks about is her job and she's always on something.

"Never really kept food in the house, stuff like that.

"I dropped contact and she's outside my life right now."

Another child described their experience as 'incredibly unpleasant', after finding out their parents were living 'double lives'.

One person who worked as an adult star gave insight into how it affected children they knew.

They said: "I do porn and know lots of people in the industry with kids.

"Most of them turned out okay.

"The older kids 18+ that I've talked to say it's kinda weird but mostly normal to them now.

"It's not like they Google their mom or anything.

"It's just part of life.

"It's still legal and lucrative at the end of the day and a lot of these kids had nice upbringings."

It seems as though there are no two experiences that are the same, and is very much specific to the individual.
