I completely understand the stigma around this interest and site. At the end of the day it really is up to you.. Nobody will think badly of you whatever you decide, most importantly do what's most comfortable for you.
The usual response to being found online here by family, friends or colleagues is.. Well they must have been on the site for a reason.. As in they must be into this sort of thing themselves to be able to stumble across your profile.
My personal experience of this site.. I have been on and off a few times, but basically been a member for over 10 years. Always had a picture and have never had anyone from different social circles discover me online.
Hope that helps!
