Don't do it.
 
Sure, it's an ego stroke and you might initially think it's a positive thing, but trust me... It's the kind of exposure you don't need or want. I've turned down multiple offers for tell-all books, interviews and reality shows, all because I know it would compromise a major part of my life.
 
Unless you get final edit approval (which is highly unlikely), this is a bad idea.
 
Never let anyone own your image or your story.
 
 
PS: Clearly, you've already made the right decision

You have kids -that changes a lot. Being gay is fine . My family has embraced it. But the escorting-legality and all- can cause problems. I am not open about my "hobby" nor would I want it broadcast all over the state where others see.
 
Now if you are open to everyone, that is fine-but people still get arrested in the bluest of states/cities for that. So just some caution-if you are planning on baring that portion.
 
I am not ashamed-I know plenty of people who married for money or looks or lust -but it is what it is. I wish more of us would organize and try and legalize it though-I just don't know how.

Yes, it does! My children are readers today because of Square Books! And thank you for the perspective. As much progress as has been made, we still try to fly under the radar as much as possible without purposefully bringing attention to ourselves or rubbing my fellow citizens’ noses in our happiness. I think the peace we’ve found is enough of a win in, and of, itself.

And frankly the producers are probably hoping for the series to cause drama in your lives because it's publicity for them. Hard pass.

Your livelihoods skirt the edge of legality and your local government is not exactly supportive. You have far more to lose than to gain. And this forced drag thing sounds ridiculous.

The bolded part already made me suspicious. Documentaries are supposed to be informative, not over-the-top or focus on being entertaining. Also given how you refused and the director is still pushing you both to be on the documentary as well as you both are having some misgivings are signs that you shouldn't do it.
 
Also, if you do the documentary, there is the chance that your family members will have exposure or be under more scrutiny. Sometimes anonymity or relative obscurity is the best gift you can have for a peaceful and content life, so personally, I wouldn't do it.
 
However, that's just my two cents. You sound like you both already made your decision.

Think about the privacy and safety of your children.

Love the bluntness

Thank you. That's kinda been our position at this point. I guess the reason to do it would be from an enlightenment perspective. That not all Mississippians are hate mongers and you can have a good life in a red state. I think your position is probably the correct one, though.

However, occasionally taking chances is the right choice. If they pass, it may be too late to have a second chance.

The concept is interesting minus the RuPaul brigade. But I say hell no. The world is too crazy right now.

The biggest negative may be the fact that you don't have real control over what is ultimately produced and shown (the RuPaul thing is an example), yet you will be held responsible for it by the viewers. It's the same advice that is given on this site: listen to your gut, and if it makes you uncomfortable, walk away.

Maybe you could recommend a few others that might be willing to do it. That way you could fulfill your, "That not all Mississippians are hate mongers and you can have a good life in a red state." goal.

lol...yeah, the drag is a little too much for me for some reason.

As a reverse, I ran into a client as a flight attendant the day after our appointment. Knowing glances and a brush or two during the flight was kinda exhilarating.

Two birds with one stone for me....uniform play and CMNM.

Not to diss Adam but I think you are more muscular.

Every child added to the mix is a challenge, but if this is your first, it's especially confusing and anxiety-inducing. With my first one, we were surrounded by family members (mother-in-law, particularly). That had good and bad sides to it. I dealt with the stress by working, but if the baby is less than a week, hopefully you're still home. If you really want to lay off the beer, maybe find something that feels normal from before the baby and do that. The gym is an excellent release. If you don't have that at your disposal and you're feeling edgy, I'd find a good counselor to talk to. Parenthood is no joke and adjusting all elements to the new normal is work. Very hard work sometimes. Hopefully you'll find the joy in it all very soon and can focus on the amazing little life you have created. It's a wonderful time of bonding that I would give anything to have again. In fact, I have three because I missed the baby stage so much when the first two were older. Hang in there...it gets better.

Just be you, man. And don't be afraid to be clear about what you want. It's way better for us to know your likes and dislikes so we can make sure the experience is what you want. We can't always intuit what you want and it's good practice for when you do find a serious partner. Sex is always better when there's communication. Oh, and don't be too self conscious about what you look like. We are all God's children.
