The major reasons people frown upon the adult industry is because of exploitation or religious bias; therefore you're subject to the same scrutinization by association. You can't really get away from it. A lot of the criticism stems from the assumption that females are degraded, but what's ironic is that the adult industry is filled with female executives running the show. Nevertheless, I can visit almost any major porn site and see banner ads and videos with people that LOOK under age. This is a problem for a lot of people.

So IMO, it really comes down to you. Would I do it? No, I don't really feel like photoshoping a bunch of male parts all day because our job roles would likely be different. And furthermore, it's not something I could showcase in a portfolio. If my head was buried in code all day and driven by analytics, that would be a slightly different story.
