Anyone watching this?
Can't help but think these women are slightly deluded. To me it seems like the show is trying to show them as empowered women because they are taking advantage of men's weaknesses for financial gain, when to me phone sex work is still sex work. You're still degraded for a man who you have no emotional connection with's sexual gratification.
Agree? Disagree?

if men are stupid enough to pay for dirty chat let them. its not like these women are putting themselves at risk in anyway. apart from maybe losing your voice.

I did this for a living between 2001 and 2003. I was on New Deal at the time. They had ALREADY made me work 3 months for my JSA. One month in a charity shop. Two months at local council.
There was no job at the end so i was referred back to the Job Centre,signed on normally for one month and then those bastard providers at Reed/Pelcombe wanted me to work for ANOTHER 3 months at Campbells soup factory for my JSA.
Theres your back story.
I saw a job in a sex chatline office advertised in local classifieds. It paid £12.000 a year and it was night work but it was a choice between that or workfare. Ive done workfare and ive done chatline work and guess what. Out of those two choices which were the ONLY two choices i had at that time,it wasnt the chatline that i found degrading.

I think its more about boosting their self esteem for wrong/right reasons.
