I never thought this would happen.

True story:  I went on a date with a former porn star.

Please allow me to explain.

Seth and I had been exchanging messages for a while, so we finally agreed to meet at a pub in Venice.  I knew he was a little older because his plentyoffish profile says that he is 39, but I wasn't too worried about that.  After all, I have dated a couple of guys who are in their 40s.  Don't get me wrong, I do not actively seek out older men, it just worked out that way a few times.  But when I met Seth, he said that he is actually 43.  I thought it was a little weird that he lied about his age on the website, but at least he was honest when we met.  He even showed me his drivers license.  He also told me that he was married for 12 years and he has a 14-year-old daughter.  Yikes.  I am too young to be her mother.

Anyway, during the course of our conversation Seth casually mentioned that he used to work in the adult entertainment industry.  I laughed because I assumed it was a joke, but it turns out that he was being serious.  Apparently he did that for a while when he was younger because he was living in Vegas and needed the money.  I'm pretty sure my jaw hit the floor when he told me this.  How would you react if you went on a date with a guy and he told you that he used to do porn?  Fortunately it didn't get too awkward, so we kept chatting for a while.  And he was a really nice guy, so I may or may not agree to see him again.  It's still up in the air. 

Also, I totally did some internet research to see if I could find some of his "acting work."  Didn't find any of that, though.  But I did find some videos of him playing the guitar.  He is a recording artist now, so it makes sense that he would have videos of his music.  He's actually quite talented.  But I still want to find some of his other films so I can tell whether he's into anything particularly depraved.  That might be a deal breaker.
