Is it ok to do porn if I'm a psychologist?

It depends.

I’m sorry to say that if you’re a woman there’s a good chance it could hurt your career if you’re easy to find by your real name. The exception to that is if you’re going to specialize in a more modern area of psychology, like sex, gender identity, etc.. in that case it’s pretty likely you’ll be fine even if your employer knows. This also goes for more modern mental health firms (though they usually also specialize in modern forms of psychology so it fits into the above category).

On the flip side, if you’re a guy it could hurt your chances but less likely unless you work with kids. In general just apply anything your most conservative family/friend would scoff at could end up hurting your chances at a more traditional place.

In general I wouldn’t call it a career killer, but if you end up working for a more traditional clinic or one that has an “image” to maintain you might find yourself held up at some point or another.
