I have seen a few members been asked of their partners to quit Suicide Girls as they do not approve. My question is how do you feel about this.

I feel like it is about control and jealousy, but that is how I feel.

I'm not looking for a reaction to how I feel, just response to how you feel

I say if they have a problem with it, buy them a membership and show them what the site is really all about. I feel like a lot of people who aren't familiar with the site tend to stigmatize it instead of seeing it as the amazing community that the rest of us see it as. Obviously that approach won't work for everyone, or anyone who already has their mind set up about this that and the other, but I guess I just feel that most people tend to fear what they don't understand and if more people had a better understanding of the site and got to talk to some of the people on here they wouldn't be so quick to judge their partner for being a part of it all.

Insecure or it somehow goes against their values?
Why would it be any different than any other social website?
My Space is full of bands promoting themselves, Twitter comedians, models, numerous celebs...
Facebook is for everyone, Linkedin is for "professionals"

This site is controversial, though it's toned down alot since the early 2000's

If a partner doesn't like something it doesn't mean you can't like it.

It would be difficult, since a large part of my interaction with friends is on here.

I've seen lots of people leave because their significant other hates them being on here. Six months or so later, they're back because they've realized their now-ex is a controlling asshole.

I agree with Anna here. My hubby is a site member and he loves the community!

People should be able to define the terms of the relationships they'd like to have without people's scrutiny an judgment, as long as it's doesn't include abuse.

I'm waiting until the CEO of Chik-fil-A weighs in on this matter to form an opinion.

He's too busy counting profits from yesterday's "Chickens for Jesus".

from my experience, it sucks and it hurts. having someone you care about tell you that they don't want to be with you because you are on the site (initially - back when I was a member) then again after you have submitted a set (different guy).
Yes, both guys were asshats. It doesn't change that it is a hard decision to make when put in that situation. I understand why girls leave because their SO asked them to.
Neither of my ex's wanted anything to do with the site, as they had made up their mind about the site.

A long time ago the gal I was with asked me if I'd be jealous if she started stripping. My gut reaction was that if I were being honest, yes I probably would feel at least a little jealous. Maybe insecure would have been more accurate to say? Anyway I don't think she was serious about it, because it never came up again. And although I like to think I could have handled it just fine if that had been something she had really wanted to do, it's a lot easier to imagine you'd be cool with something when it's not a situation you're actually in.

i have a few friends on here who have left because of this, its sad, mainly because their other halves just did not understand exactly what it is, they see porn and that's it, and one of those wasn't even a model she just had an insecure bf assuming she was chatting with guys on here all the time and felt butthurt over her admitting things in the sex groups.

This.
I've made so many friends on here, that if my SO couldn't understand that, it wouldn't work out anyway. It would be like telling me not to interact with my real life friends. I wouldn't stand for such a thing.

Luckily everyone I've been with has either been a member themselves or been cool with me being on here, knowing full well that there is nudity (mine and other people's).

If someone is uncomfortable with the site, the best thing is to express those concerns in a logical, non-controlling way. I would be more than willing to show them around, let them watch my normal activities on the site, even read my messages if they wanted - even the unsolicited cock shots (see honey, this is what the "ignore" button is for). tongue

SO glad that both my husband and girlfriend are so supportive. I was in a 5-year relationship a while back and wanted SO HARD to try out for SG, so I put in an application, but he slut-shamed me with his religious beliefs and I gave in. That was a huge mistake. Ladies, if you want to try for an opportunity as awesome as SG I would seriously hope that your partner supports it. I wasted too much time letting that asshole keeping me from trying.
Stand up for yourselves, ladies! Like Anna and Toxic said, just SHOW them what the site is all about. It could really make them excited for you, even! wink

I met my husband here on SG, so this site is a big part of our lives.

That being said, I can't really say I've ever had a negative reaction by a significant other over SG, but if I did, I would probably end the relationship. I mean, it's a small thing, sure, but I shouldn't have to change who I am for someone to love me. Plus, it's controlling.

I told Patty the day I got the membership. Given that I've always been upfront about my love of looking, she's confident enough to know I'd never be touching (not without her permission of course wink ). We both also know that a little flirting not only keeps your spark alive, but is also a nice ego boost.

As for someone being asked to quit by a significant other, it could be jealousy, control or a little of each. Sometimes jealousy is rightly there, I've seen that with friends of mine. Control is never rightly placed, so if that were the reason it would suck and (were it me) I'd seriously have to reconsider the relationship.

No matter which way you slice it, I'm thankful every day that she doesn't have a jealous or controlling bone in her body. I also know I have to walk that line (to steal some Cash, as it were) if I want it to stay that way.

My husband was a member before I was. I don't know where I'd be without SG. This is where I found support and information about everything from make up to being pregnant.


.....and a relationship without trust will fail.

I guess a bit jealoucy from time to time is part of life. YES it's about oneself being insecure but well I am sometimes insecure and so is my oartner. The important part is being aware of these facts. It's okay to be jealous as long as your partner does not have to suffer from that. If you are aware of the fact that this is your own problem and most definitely not your partners fault I don't see no problem with being jealous. I used to think that it's super possessive and guys are just incapable of a trusting relationship but as I got older I changed my mind about this. I now am not that frightened anymore. It's okay to have bad feelings from time to time and it's okay to express those as long as you stay communacative.

I've had this issue as long as I've had relationships adn found just one guy (the one who will be my child's father) who is capable of this candidness. It does take a lot and it was hard for me too.

I guess if someone gets to know you at the point were you already made the deciision to be an Adult Model there's no room for discussion anymore. It now is a part of you and he/she will haev to accept it in order to be with you. Just as one has to accept ex-partners or just the other things you may not understand.

Same here. Damn near impossible. SG is so convenient for interacting with people and planning so many aspects of my life that were I to no longer be a part of it, my entire life would change dramatically. That certainly wasn't intentional, it just kindo slowly evolved that way, but I've somehow been ok with it. Even tough SG could call it quits and shut the site down at any time.

As far as how I'd react to anyone telling me I couldn't be a part of SG anymore, short of losing my kids, I can't think of anything that could ever make me wanna stop using it and I can't say I'd ever accept anyone's telling me I couldn't. biggrin
