To want a job on a sex chat line?

[takingiteasy]

Ok I don't think I really do, I think I'd feel a bit grubby but I was speaking to a mum at school who was telling me this is what she does during the day and can make about £200 a week!

I have visions of Big Mo in Easties being Miss Whiplash whilst doing the ironing. I could well do with an extra £200 a week though - who couldn't?

Anyone done this?

I did it a lot years ago when DCs were younger. It supplemented other part-time income, worked with their school hours and suited me just fine. I needed to supplement my income as a single mother

I still do it now sometimes all these years later. Its a good way of saving up for a holiday, for instance. I don't intend to do a 9-5 ever again. This supplements my self-employment + the 16 hours p.w. work I do outside the home.

I got into it after reading an article in a women's magazine about it. Im not prudish at all and thought it would be easy money. It isn't...it can get to your mind talking smutty to mostly men all day, for instance....you feel burnt out. Then again on other days its fine. I just balance as necessary, I know when Im feeling up to it and when Im not.

But, I won't lie - when you can sit on the settee in your oldest pyjamas, hair in a mess, barely move a muscle, MN'ing or watching tv whilst waiting for calls, or you can't sleep one night and think eff it, if Im going to be up for a couple of hours I may as well take some calls - and make good money then do the same tomorrow - it really does motivate you to continue.

No, it isn't brilliant money but if you put in the time its a good earner + you don't have travel costs to think about

I didnt think about it too deeply, and I had short-term goals with it..ie, ok earn this today, that'll pay for haircut & treatment. Earn this tomorrow, thats the DCs school lunches covered, earn this amount per week during the 6 week summer hols so the DCs assault on your pockets won't feel so painful...!

I still don't quite believe it when I hear of women who do this full-time. I simply don't think you can, unless you are single no other responsibilities..you'd have to be near your 'phone all day, up for talking all day thinking up varied scenarios etc . My brain would sizzle.

But yeah, I could do 10 hours weekly, on a week I wasn't so much feeling to hear all the "phone talk". & on another week when I knew I needed more money to get stuff done could very easily do 30 hours..especially "graveyard shifts" when you earn more...you're working from home structuring your own hour so you work when everyone's in bed if you like

I know it wouldn't be for everybody and quite understand that. But it suits me 100%...its guys on the end of the phone (a few women call too) I cant see them, don't know them so I don't feel that involved. & itsnot always sex talk either


inoutshakeitallabout interesting posts & spot on

Can anyone here recommend the best agency to sign up with? Or ones to avoid! Thanks x

I've done it to pay off a hefty store card I ran up. It was ok at first but then it got pretty tedious tbh and a LOT of people want to talk scat and other horrid things. Personally, I made about £500 in about three weeks or so then quit. This was with adult work. Good luck.

Ruthiemummy67, You're supposed to declare it and fill in self employed tax forms if you earn over £2K a year . Oh an dont go for the Manchester based line that insists you do a Fri night til 6am. Deathly, and no calls after 3am. I switched to other line instead.

[Sazzle41]

I've done it on an off when contracting was scarce and i needed somethinhg to tide me over between contracts, usually 20hrs a week was £100. I couldnt do more personally as that was my limit for being patient with some very socially challenged men who were to be frank hard work and would probably be described as rather odd if you met them in real life.

Yes its hard not to laugh, there are some strange fetishes out there. Though some really interested me. My 'wedding dress guy' who put the wedding dress on paraded about then took it off and set it on fire (go figure) was a lovely man, we had really nice chats. A lot of them were lonely older guys who wanted a normal chat tho not the sexy character stuff. Ive me a lot of women who did it on the quiet to top up a low paid job. Don't see any shame in it.

Zzzzzzzzzzombie

[Ruthiemummy67]

Taking the plunge soon into adult chat. How on earth do you sort out paying for tax on this type of work. Secondly is there any chance my employer could find out what I do? Sure it would warrant dismissal otherwise. Thoughts please asap from people who have or are doing this type of work currently. Thanks ??

I follow this blog and the lady did 3 entries on a guide to working on sex line, from money to whether the person can see your number. I was surprised to read you have to use a real picture on some

Some firms will insist you do certain shifts - obviously they prefer evenings, especially very late, and weekends. If you make it clear you refuse to work then they may well refuse to take you on. Others will let you clock on and off to suit you but they are usually the ones that pay less. You must not make or take any other calls while you are on duty. Once you have logged on you must be available. Either tell friends you will ring them or if they ring you to ring at certain times only or that you cannot chat if they ring at the wrong time. Be well organised. Likewise if someone rings the doorbell while you are on duty you must ignore it, you must be available to take that call. But you could wait hours and hours for that call.

Some of you seem to assume that if you are on duty you get a few calls each hour. Dream on. You can be on for four hours before you get just one two minute call. And then no more calls for another four hours or till the next time. Most calls last five minutes if you are good at keeping them talking. Many of them live in a fantasy world where they want you to say your details and where you live so that they can rush over, get undressed, jump on you and f* k you and then go back to the girlfriend or wife. In other words treating you like a prostitute - but a dozy one who does it all for free! Many of the callers have a fetish. You do not give your own number to any of the callers and you cannot use a mobile. The company you work for puts calls through to your landline. If you do not put an adventurous and broadminded intro tape on their message service you will get no calls or a lot less calls. If you are easily shocked or hate to hear or say filth do not do it. Most of the men will spout rubbish about how they have just been in an orgy or been raped by Miss World or been invited to go and meet Halle Berry for a night of passion, you must talk to them as if you believe them. Others are plain coarse and common and will go on about how they lust after their mother in law.

Ignore the so called sex chat workeres who go on about how they get £1.50 a minute. They are leaving out that most of that goes on vat, marketing, admin, the website, maybe a receptionist and an agency, as well as the big gaps when nobody calls. And most men will never bother to ring such expensive lines when there are so many that are much cheaper.

As for the internet having taken it's place. You will find that if you go into a chat room for private chats you will be swamped with guys asking you for free dirty chat because they do not want to pay to ring these lines. But of course all they end up with is gay men or old married men, because women either charge on chat lines or are not interested at all.

Most of the callers are men who are totally out of synch with women. They truly believe that YOU - even if you are beautiful sexy and young - have trouble getting sex and you are desperate for it same as him. That he is doing you a favour. That no other man wants you. They also forget that they are just one of your many callers.

If you cannot keep people on the line for long not only do you earn very little but you get the sack. These companies are not going to invest thousands of pounds a week in advertising and marketing just to waste the calls on staff who cannot make a profit for them.

This sounds like an ideal option as am finding it very difficult to get a full time job at the moment and can't survive on JSA. My one big reservation is the potential of the family listening at the door (and more than likely killing themselves laughing). I can handle talking dirty etc to an anonymous customer and the company listening in, but never for the family to hear.

[MrsKeithRichards]

You get a whisper telling you what category the caller is coming through on before you connect to the caller.

Same as call centres really, I've worked in one where you were dealing with a few different lines (banking, business banking, internet banking helpdesk) you would pick up the phone, the system would say which line you had, it would beep then you were with the call.

[HoHoHoNoYouDont]

How do you know what character you will have to be when the phone rings? How do you know if the guy has selected say Horny Housewife or Gagging Grannies?

[MammaTJ]

Eatingsquare, the person who resurrected the Zombie thread, is a journalist, clearly in need of a story!!

[MrsKeithRichards]

And have a look at this blog she seems to have a clue.

[MrsKeithRichards]

People can't win, if someone had posted a new thread I'm sure someone would say this has already been done, do a search.

Find a good company? Google.

[massagebliss]

hello , when you said about where to find good firms, what did you mean by thread

[BettySwollocksandaCrustyRack]

Zombi thread!!

How do people find threads that are soooooo old???

[Eatingsquare]

How do you find the best chat line to go with?

[Eatingsquare]

I guess if you want to do it, and I for one could do with the extra money, it would be good to know the best lines to go on. Any tips?

[TwllBach]

Are you allowed to specialise? As in, can I ask only to get calls from people who want to be dominant for example?

[inoutshakeitallabout]

100% self employed, hardly exploitation, none of them are forced to ring up and several of them are what you would consider normal delving into fetishes etc they wouldnt want to upset their gf/.wives with

most have partners, kids, work in an office or as a manager, to look at them, you wouldnt suspect, theyre just average men by and large but for those who are awkward, but then, it lets them have some resemblance to female conversation that in real life, females may not be wanting to offer for one reason or another
