Porn and relationships

Hello peeps
OK a slightly more serious thread than my normal ones on the subject of relationships with those who work in the adult industry.
I speak to a lot of people in the industry and the subject of their partners often comes up. From the people I have spoken they are either single or in a happy relationship and their partners understands their job and what it entails.
From my own perspective, I am not a jealous person, but I would find it difficult to be with someone who is a performer and works with multiple performers on a weekly basis. I know that when two people are together on screen that there isn?t an emotional connection, but it is still quite a strange situation.
From a lot of people who I have spoken to it seems that their partners are also in the industry in some way. I can understand this as birds of a feather flock together etc etc.
I suppose it is because I am a bit old fashioned in some respects and a bit of an old romantic. I never tell people how to live their lives, I am just interested in how other people live and how they view the world.
So has being in the industry harmed or even helped your relationships? Do you hold off telling people what you do when you first meet them in case it scares them off?
Right better get back to some work, think I have been watching too much Jeremy Kyle and it is affecting my brain!
