Lit saves the day

[velvet_crush]

About two years ago, I was fired, somewhat unexpectedly. I came home, hung out in a complete daze, logged on to Lit. What else is a girl without a job to do?

I came across this thread: http://forum.literotica.com/showthread.php?t=724069 which is related to phone sex. I thought, hey! I can ignore someone real real good.

I completely forgot about the site until one night, around 2 a.m., I got a call. I saw it was an 800 # and I couldn't figure out who it was. Funny, it was a guy who wanted me to bark like a dog. At first, I gave a lame woof. By the end of the twelve minute call, I was barking like a bulldog. I felt pretty lame but not so much after I realized I made about eight bucks barking. Overall, it came to about $45 an hour.

Fortunately, I'm back to work and haven't done the phone sex thing for a while. It was never as easy as setting the phone down and ignoring someone for two hours. But it was good $$ once I realized I was a pretty good listener and was willing to do and say some pretty interesting things.

So thanks, Lit, for keeping groceries in my fridge during a pretty tough time.

And here I thought Lit and skype pretty much put an end to the paid phone sex business. I think they have put a huge damper in it at least. I remember years ago when I had to work late I'd watch Oprah reruns from 1 to 2 a.m. and about half the adds seemed to be for 900 phone sex numbers. I don't believe that's the case anymore.

I'm not sure I'd be willing to bark like a dog but I would be willing to laugh like a hyena. That's probably why 99 percent of phone sex operators are women. It's always interesting to see Lit come through for people in unexpected ways!

Oh my god, was it you. I am going back several years, around 10 years ago could be longer. They used to advertise phone numbers in mens magazines, some where recordings, then later they introduced live girls. I turned into a phone sex addict, when I had finished at work and was supposed to be working over time, I would phone a few, and I admit I used to get off listening.

Then a phone bill cam its a good job it was my own company, but it was for a few thousand pounds, I relaised I just couldnt stop phoning these girl. I got an overdraft for he phone bill, and started being selective, i also got a tape recorder and taped the girls. I still have them, and occasionally when I cant cum I listen to one, and I can guarantee coming before its finished.

I now have this picture in my mind of a girl doing the ironing, or just putting the phone down and saying "OH OH OH YES MORE", "it feels so good" "fuck me harder" when they heard the right noises cumming from the phone.

Now a days I wait for somebody to answer an Im or give their Yahoo ID, Im still addicted to the mutual masturbation. Its all about having fun isnt it?

You can do and say some pretty interesting things...

There's a lot of subtle power in that.

It's an admirable quality in a person when it comes to being erotic. Worth more than 45 dollars.

At first, I thought I could hang out, do laundry, have phone sex. It doesn't really work like that. You really have to listen.

I'm getting paid to fulfill a fantasy and the paid part ends if they hang up. So I had to figure out what it is the caller wanted. Many times, they wouldn't tell you. Many times, they were super specific and didn't want you to deviate from the script they had in their head.

Sometimes, it was erotic. Most times, it was a job. A few times, I actually got to talking with a caller and found out a lot about a person. There are a lot of people out there with unfulfilled fantasies. All in all, though, it was about getting paid.

It sounds as though you actually put some energy into the job, which is great. I like that you understand how important people's fantasies can be to them.

 

[velvet_crush]

Well - it was a job. The more energy I put in to understanding someone's fantasy, the more time he'd spend with me and the more money I'd make.

For sure, it was an interesting look in to human behavior!! Why people get off on what they do. Although there were some common threads with many of the calls, there were just as many different fantasies.

I barked like a dog, quacked like a duck, spun around the room until I was ready to throw up, acted like I was breaking my nose, licked shitty ass, talked like a robot, pretended to be a girlfriend, a wife, a 50 foot woman, a sister, a mom, an inmate.

Where do you draw the line? I called myself a stupid fat ugly fuck because he wanted to hear me say it. That was hard. Pretending to hurt myself and cry was hard. How many ways can you make licking dirty shitty ass sounds? Try it. Pretend you're licking someone's ass but he tells you his ass is hot and dirty and shitty. What kind of noises do you make? Do you thank him for allowing you to do it?

I drew the line at incest and kids. At times, I'd try to get the caller to talk about where the desires started. Being a loving, nurturing mommy was a frequent request. I wondered at what point does a fantasy become so strong, you needed to spend $1.50 a minute to have it feel true?

Mostly, though, I realized there were a lot of guys who wanted to be heard. Feel cared for. Know someone was listening to and appreciating the thoughts and dreams and desires they had, even if they had to pay me to do it.

Jesus fuck woman! Do a soft fetish Domme character for the ones who need to talk it allll out - and charge 5.99 a minute to "lick shitty ass." I listen to people too - make them bark and pay you. Unless you like that kind of thing, in which case rock on. Do whatever doesn't make you want to do your laundry, you'll actually market the hell out of yourself and do well. Sure I have my eyerolling days, but overall, I love what I talk about. I market myself INTENSIVELY as someone who does X or Y and do another character if it doesn't fit. I have a pink and white page with cute girl pics for guys who are scared of black and purple and my actual photos of me.

If it's not for you it''s not for you. But if someone came to me with a "real job" to go to again, I'd probably cry!

I started out in the submissive category since that's the truest to me. I'm a horrible role-player, so being a naughty neighbor or even the robot taxed my imagining skills. The thought of being dominant - at first - actually seemed way outside my realm of skill.


The dominant category is so full! I toyed with creating a domme profile, especially when I had one sub caller who introduced me to raise the rate. At the end of the call, he'd be paying $10 a minute to "hear me pee" so he could cum.

My sub profile, as well as the mature profile were always in the top five so I left it at that.

I think about going back to it but after a while, it became draining. Could be true, I wasn't the one in control and had to spend a lot of time figuring out how to up the ante on licking dirty asses. Talking for an hour like a robot (my lubrication tanks are overflowing!) was numbing.

Any more draining than the 40 minute drive to work on a cold, snowy day??

No, I didn't mean to be like that - if sub is where your passions are, go for it. But you can avoid the stuff that makes you really wiped out or at least diffuse it with more listings. You can make bank and still not burn out on those things that make you exhausted. You could always do a wide eyes shades of gray "you want me to do what????" girl next door who THINKS she might be sub...kind of character.

I do hear what you're saying. It was a great job in many ways. Talking about sexual things, getting in to the heads of callers and mostly, not having answer to anyone but me was a good thing.

Question - do you have set hours? How did you avoid feeling tied to the phone 24/7?

1. Set hours? People do that?

2. BWAHAHAHAHAHHHA!

Both of these are purely self-inflicted at this point in time, because of personal financial decisions that are kind of stupid. I avoid feeling tied to the phone 24/7 because I've made about half of my business depend on prerecorded content. Doesn't mean I'm not tied to my computer, but at least I'm not dependent on the whims of the phone. I did this after a horrible august last year.

Sorry, this is turning into a total cafe thread and it's my fault.

 

[velvet_crush]

Interesting about the pre-recorded stuff - how lucrative that can be. I wrote some stories and was surprised anyone even wanted to pay me for them.

Ok - wrapping up the chit chat -- the info was useful, thanks!

I do want to reiterate that it was the Lit thread on that fateful day two years ago that allowed me to keep a roof over my head.

Phone sex struck a chord with me; it was a creative job that kept me from burrowing in to the "I got fired" depression.

I would far rather that this thread be moved to the cafe and kept going
