Phone Sex (for pay)

[sweetnpetite]

I've been thinking about the possibility of a job working as a phone sex opperator (erotic "voice actor"). Anyway, I was wondering if anyone here has ever worked as a pso and has any experience or advice on the business.

This is second hand, coming from an internet model that had tried the whole 1-900 thing before a work from home solution existed for nudie chat:

The money is lousy. I can't remember the exact figures, but you need to be on the phone almost 24/7 to make even a decent "extra pair of shoes" allowance from it.

Think about how difficult it is to understand people that you know on the phone sometimes. Now imagine that you have to try to create a personal, intimate connection with someone while dealing with that from a complete stranger -- often one who has a thick accent, or who is drunk, or is a complete jackass...

You get the picture.

The internet has also marginalized this particular area of adult entertainment. That means that the surviving companies are struggling, and the pay is probably even lower now.

If you can get a boost out of it, then it might be worth your time. You're going to have to enjoy making strange men quiver more than thinking about how much money you're going to make out of it. If it is in any way a necessary part of even discretionary income, then you're probably better off just skipping it.

here is a link to an interview a friend did with someone working in the industry.

You could pretty much swap that interview with a nudie chat model, too. There are a lot of similarities.

The key to any adult entertainment where just you and the client are involved with no actual physical contact is that you have to get off on doing it. The money just has to be gravy, or you're going to burn out fast.

Last year I made a little over $4,000 the whole year! I was doing something infinatly less interesting and more stressful than getting strangers off on the phone. (although I did use my voice a lot)

I do think that phone sex the kind of thing I could enjoy. I'm sure I could make at least four thousand dollars a year right?

Thanks for posting that interview, the woman being interviewed said she is a psychology major. I am a huge psychology buff and am very interested in what makes people tick. Also, I've been in costomer service for many years and have experience dealing with idiots, assholes and drunks and even find myself amused by them quite often. I'm pretty easygoing and in general can put up with a lot from people. I'm plenty kinky and enjoy going "outside of the box" and pushing limits.

So far it looks like it could be a good match.

I could really identify with this:

S: What are your biggest turn ons both emotionally and psychologically? What are your turns offs?

PSO: Creativity… is the biggest turn on for me. Poets, musicians, painters, just the way they think and move, it’s like watching emotions take physical form. Emotionally, I like men who aren’t afraid to tell me what they are thinking right at the moment of thought. No holding back on words and expression.

My turn offs would be people who are scared to try new things, talk about new things, and are almost scared to look into the mirror because they might see something in their own eyes that they want to repress. It’s the same for people who pass my site or blog, they have the yearning, the itch, but societal views and opinions and what they “think” they should do stops them from finding out what they like and what they don’t. They watch TV and read books and do what people tell them is ok to do. I don’t like those people, at all. I need someone who is not afraid to explore and that is all what phone sex is about…exploration into the unknown without having someone there to judge you. I might not like what you like, but I will let you have your fantasy to your utmost pleasure.

As long as you're enjoying it, and the money is a secondary concern, you'll probably be okay.

You do need to keep your defenses up, though. In order to get the repeat callers, you're going to have to create a personal connection. While you're doing that, you're going to have to make sure that it doesn't become too personal.

It doesn't take much for someone to piece together enough information to track down the real you. Most of the people that can do that are also not the sort of people that you'd want to find you. Even something as simple as mentioning a sick aunt can be a critical, dangerous piece of information.

One of the most dangerous things about any form of adult entertainment is that the most obsessive of stalker personalities are attracted to it.

Just stay safe, if you decide to give it a shot. It's generally the last person you would suspect of being obsessed who is.

I'd like to second here what Darkniciad is saying. I posted previously on another thread my story about a friend who did this and a cop from the other side of the country became quite obsessed with her. While she felt she hadn't given too much personal information and still to this day thinks he was able to, through police connections trace her phone, she probably gave too much up and he did find her! While nothing happened, it really scared her and ended her dalliance in this medium.

Be careful.

We never had any close calls after we got together, but she'd had a problem with one before that. That's why I made sure that we had a special PO box in another town that only I went to and never came straight home from, a special cell in my name from another state, etc.

She did get recognized at a food stand at a Green Day concert, but he was too nervous and tongue-tied to do much more than babble, drool, and look warily in my direction on occasion.

Another one recognized her at an airport when I was dropping her off for a flight home for the holidays. He was too nervous to even approach us until after her flight had already taken off. He got his nerve up when he saw me having a smoke before I left, and asked me if we were who he thought we were. We actually hung out and chatted about chat for about an hour at the airport when I recognized his screen name. It was just dumb luck of a layover that he was even there. Ended up sending him a full-frontal pic with his screen name written across her tummy in body paint because he'd missed the opportunity to actually meet her, and he'd paid for lunch *laugh*
