Just Ask Georgia: 10/2/2024

Georgia, I have a question,

I sell adult content on a few different platforms. It’s not a big secret, but I also don’t really talk about it to most people I know. My sister-in-law’s husband recently paid for a subscription to one of my spicy pages. As much as I can, I remove and block, refuse to sell to, people who are local to me. However, his subscription somehow slipped through. I told and showed my husband when it came up, and I asked him if he wanted to tell his sister. He said kind of, but he didn’t want to deal with family drama if he did. So he hasn’t said anything.

I feel bad about it, and I think about telling her daily. I’m a big fan of minding my own business and staying in my lane. But, if she finds out will she be hurt I didn’t tell her. I also want her to know her husband is paying for this kind of stuff. What do you think I should do?

Too Sexy for Sister-in-Law?

Dear Too Sexy,

Once again, I’m amazed at the problems the internet causes. Let’s examine this from two perspectives.

BUSINESS: I would think you have a professional responsibility to respect the anonymity of your paid subscribers. If this were a larger “company,” you would probably never know who your subscribers were in the first place.

PERSONAL: There’s no easy way out of this. Depending on her personality, she’ll be upset if you don’t tell her, but she will also be upset if you do. She’s going to feel blindsided, especially if she doesn’t know this is a side hustle of yours because her husband is actively looking at your content.

I say this with love... why does it bother you that this husband is looking at your content but not other husbands? If it’s simply because you don’t want someone who knows you seeing very personal parts of you, then block him/refund him and move on. If being a part of infidelity is what bothers you, then maybe you’re in the wrong line of work, and it’s not compatible with your values. Whatever you decide going forward, know that there is an occupational risk with every job, and this is one that you must choose consciously.

With love, Georgia
