Co-workers saw my porn videos online and now I'm embarrassed to be around them. I like my job but I want to quit because it's hard to face them. What should I do?
How hard is it?? And, do you get applause when you walk into meetings? If so, take a bow!
Chances are – unless you work in a monastery – everyone you work with knows someone who’s got an OnlyFans page. Read that again: they KNOW someone, not that they do it themselves. If that’s the case, who cares?
You, I’m assuming, were smart enough to understand how porn works when you put it all out there for public consumption (maybe pun intended). You knew – perhaps with fingers crossed hoping otherwise – at some point, sometime in life, someone you know would stumble upon your nudie booty.
The thrill of making content like that is the flattery of knowing people get off by what they’re seeing. If you’re saying your co-workers are getting off to you, well, isn’t that sorta the point of your content? Secondly, if they’re watching porn it kinda means they’re cool with the concept. I’m not sure why this is awkward for you. Isn’t hearing about your co-workers watching porn more of the issue in a workplace?
Also, how does it come up? “Hey, uh, Bobby said he saw that vid of you and…”? That’s more a question about Bobby’s oversharing than anything else.
If this was a family member or someone who wouldn’t be cool with knowing about it, I’d say it’s a concern. But if people in your workplace are openly discussing – and watching – porn, it seems like you’re in a safe space for this kind of, uh, leak. And, are they hiring??
