I may peddle porn, but it doesn't define who I am as a person. I can separate porn life from my regular life. I'm comfortable in my private life and we both know what is acceptable behavior and what isn't in the relationship and we respect it.
It sounds cliche, but communication is very important. It took me a bit to figure that out because I've always been the quiet one. I'm so easy going and if something does manage to irritate me, I tend to brush it off to avoid conflict in a relationship. I used to doubt my own instincts on some levels and feared I was one of these whacky hormonal women who goes ballistic over absolutely nothing. Like what I was thinking was all in my head and it was just my insecurities taking over. That's not always such a good thing keeping things quiet and bottled up. As I matured and began to learn to trust my own instincts, gained some experience under my belt with relationships, if I feel something is off, I'll mention it and take it from there. I know who I am and what I will tolerate and not tolerate in a relationship.
In this industry, if I have had enough of the game playing, the "show us your tits crap", the smooth operators, the creeps, and the total pigs from both the males and females, I'll just simply remove myself from the situation. I don't want to cause any attention, make a big production out of it, but I can be pretty blunt if need be. I also won't do anything at shows or gatherings that if it found it's way to F.U.B.A.R., GFY, and/or YouTube, would be totally embarrassing and could jeopardize my private life.
