To take a job on a phone sex line?

[myphonesexdrama]

Name changer.

I'm skint, on my own with dd who is at school but has a lot of health issues, misses school sometimes and has a lot of appointments to go to.

Finding work to fit in with this is proving bloody hard, I'm not highly qualified!

So I've been browsing work at home things after realising Avon and all that guff isn't for me I came across a company looking for female phone sex chat line operators. Big company, done a lot of googling research and they are legit.

So called them, filled out my application and was offered a start. So logged on last night at 10pm for 3 hours. It was fine. Most of the guys were really nice, some shy, some not, none were creepy! I am an open minded person anyway, and very chatty. I found it very easy to be honest and in those 3 hours I made £12.80 which isn't mega bucks but considering I was sitting in my lounge watching a movie between calls I don't think it's too bad.

I'm thinking I can log on whilst dd is at school and bring in some extra cash.

Will need to register as self employed etc which I will do.

I need to get in touch with them today to let them know what I want to do.

I don't think I could tell anyone though!!

Oh I can definitely see the appeal of having your landline busy all the time... no more cold callers trying to sell you stuff for a start...

To an earlier poster... some of us (or perhaps just me?) DO wear stockings and suspenders all the time...

I say go for it! Its not something I would do, mainly cos I would pee myself laughing :o But earning money while watching TV/doing your housework etc etc... whats not to like? :)

Sounds really convenient! I have a few friends that do that sort of thing, none of them are damaged, all of them are in healthy relationships. They occasionally get some weird clients, but they just make themselves perfectly clear that if they carry on, they'll hang up, or stop listening until the person hangs up. Go for it :)

OP - could you PM the name of your company, i tried to do this a while back (after the program) and they were full - can't think why . Do you do this on your landline or home phone?

errr, landline or mobile

Littlemissspooky I worked for a helpline too and same thing happened to me. We weren't allowed to hang up. Grim.

OP I used to work for a sex text thing. It didn't really affect me, not sure I'd do it now, but it did really make me think a LOT less of men in general. It all just seemed so pathetic, they were clueless, the really were.

That's gross on helpline can't believe you weren't allowed to hang up!

Extreme pain and poo? . Sounds like a normal thread on AIBU. They should just come on here and read a poo troll thread for pooey jollies!

Can I ask you a cheeky question, please? Would you mind telling me which company you are using? If you'd rather not, could you tell me how you found a reputable one? Thank you! I tried pming you but it wouldn't let me!

I agree that so long as you feel comfortable, why not? It might not be a huge amount per hour, but you don't have the "normal" work expenses - petrol, parking, work clothes, lunches, social events, birthday collections etc. They all eat into a higher per-hour sum

Oooh sounds good!

Could anyone pm mr details of who to contact? Lol

Text and phone stuff, sounds perfect

I think it's fine in a way but I know someone who did it and she ended up feeling yukky because she got callers who wanted her to pretend to be their daughter and things. Very sick stuff.

did two shifts and found the work perfectly acceptable. didn't stay because it gave me childcare problems (office based, not at home). learned that i am no way nasty enough to do domination, but can talk to anyone for hours.

the men who rang mostly wanted to talk, about their lives, why they were alone etc.

My friends mum is in her 60's, 5ft with grey hair and she's on babe station as a 22 year old leggy blonde

She's told me though that most of them really just want to chat away with her, she's sort of become more of a councillor to quite a few now.

Laughing so much at SolidGold putting together bookcases while on the phone to someone who's wanking.

MrsC: Then either she was working for a very disreputable company or she hadn't been paying attention to the training she was given: all UK phone line companies are regulated by a national organisation and talking about incest is one of the things that are not allowed, so an operator getting a caller who says 'Call me Daddy' is required by the company to give the caller one warning to pack it in, and if the caller carries on talking incest/child abuse, to hang up on the little shit.

yes, solidgold, is right. even in my limited experience, i was told to talk 'no family, no under sixteen. no schoolgirl.' and every call is recorded and kept, just in case investigation is needed.

I was just going to start a thread asking for ideas about jobs.
I have 2 dn (22 and 24) just came over from abroad and need jobs asap.

SolidGold and others:
Do you think they can do the job, what do they need? They dont have internet and landline yet.
How much money roughly per week if working every day/night?
Is the text one the same? Same money?

Can you recomend companies?

Thanks

AIBU to snigger when I read that this thread has 69 messages? :o

Seriously though, if you are ok with doing it and it makes you the extra money you need then I would go for it. The men wont stop calling if you dont, it will just be someone else that makes the money.

Yes absolutely to hang up on any family talk. Even in laws!

Done another few hours last night was a lot busier and obvious when the pubs emptied!

Laquitar, tried to PM you but it wouldn't let me, do you have a blocker on? ANyway, PM me and I will give you the company names (I think it's a bit frowned on to post them on here.)

Same for anyone else who wants to know.

I can see why it is tempting, but I'd rather not do this, indeed I wouldn't.

There are other low paid-jobs which I have done/would rather do, including cleaning, care work (which is very hard work), waitressing, bar staff, proof-reading, tutoring from home.

I wouldn't want my husband or son to ring these lines, I think it's a sad thing they exist and I wouldn't want my children to come downstairs or hear me pretending ridiculous sex acts to please some tragic guy, all for £4 an hour.

Obviously lots of people don't feel like this, and want the company's number! But I bet the turnover of staff is high, very high, because it's a crap way to spend your life and I don't think you will feel better about yourself, indeed I imagine it to be a very depressing life which you then have to hide from those around you.

I don't go with the: any way to make money is just fine. I think it's ok to set a standard and not do some things unless your children are literally starving to death before your eyes (in which case, being a phone sex-line operator would be just fine). That's what the benefit system is there for, and I would rather sit on the full complement of benefits (and get some free education) than do this for a few months- and then what?

Solid gold I'd like to know re text companies please

Mumsyblouse: No one is going to force you to do a job you do not want to do. SOme people would rather do phone sex than scrub floors. THat's their business. Your frankly ignorant and smug opinion is not particularly necessary on this thread.

Oh and those who want to know (for some reason I can't send PMs, only reply to them):

Excel for phonelines (they do text as well but the traffic is low)#
Evoke/Revernet for texting. THey do expect you to work set hours, though.
