I suspect it's mostly because any association with pornography is considered to taint one's professional reputation outside that business, and at least somewhat because mentioning, without shame, any personal involvement in erotica or pornography -- be it tangential and innocuous as it may -- tends to provoke Internet feminists into hurling overheated accusations of being the next thing to a slave factor.
The former reason suffices quite well on its own, but the latter is not entirely inconsiderable, much as one tends to choose among the sturdiest of one's footwear when dressing for a visit to one's friend the chihuahua breeder.
(The sheer, blinding gall of flinging vitriol at a declared and justified sockpuppet, under the guise of an undeclared sockpuppet, I shall leave uncommented save briefly noting the fact of it; while I know your ilk of old and thus suspected your hypocrisy on the instant, readers lucky enough to lack such experience probably wouldn't be so likely to spot it on their own.)

If it ever actually became a problem, I'd point the women I work with at them. One of them is a gender studies major and perfectly willing to systematically dismantle "think of the poor defenseless women" arguments about the adult industry.
