It's not like you are obligated to show people your work. It's usually enough to have some decoy stuff lying around for the nosy pests that won't quit asking.
Admittedly it's been a while since i've worked with the adult entertainment industry but i think it's safe to say that they generally aren't broke af. It's one of the safest industries there is. Of course there is small and huge operations like everywhere else and you'd likely have to climb up the ladder little by little. Just saying that it would be stupid to decline their money as you don't have to tell anyone about it.
