I have been requested to do a site for a high class private escort which I cant say Im not enjoying putting together.
My question is:
Would it be a put off to other (non-adult industry) clients if I included this site in my portfolio ?
I was considering making a seperate set of portfolio pages for adult related material, but this is the only one I have.
The site will not be offensive or tacky and will not contain any porn or links to porn but will be of an adult nature.
Thanks,
Dudester.

In general (and I'm not making a personal judgement here, but a business one), adult sites attract adult sites. If you add it to your portfolio, you may attract other clients of this nature, but you will almost 100% guaranteed polarize your clients by adding it, possibly to the point of losing others.
Ideally, you could maintain two portfolios -- a public one that appeals to a broad range of people, and a "full" one that you can customize when you are pitching jobs. In that full one, if the job you're pitching would be swayed positively by this job, then you bring it into your private pitching portfolio.
Similarly, I have a number of sub-contracting gigs that I can't put in a public portfolio. But I can on a case-by-case basis show these sites to potential clients, usually for other sub-contracting gigs.
