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!!

I'm broke but I wouldn't do it because I want to have faith in men. It would really turn me off them more

Interesting. If only I had a sexier voice.

"they're all just normal guys"

are they? is that a fact? if so that would depress me so much. I mgiht be naive but I would like to think that normal guys don't phone sex ilnes.

:-'(

Mumsyblouse, good post, well put, and I agree with you completely, all your reasons. You were only giving your own opinion same as everybody else.

Really interesting thread, i used to text, money wasn't great, but it's fairly easy money. Gave it up when i had my little one. Going to try and get back into it, think i'll start applying this weekend.

OP, yanbu. If i was on my own i would be doing it. DP won't let me.

for those who have similar childcare problems but don't fancy phone sex, mystery shopping might also be worth a go, some of the assignments are phone based. pay isn't brilliant either mind.

I found texting brought in next to no money. It was barely worth it for me in the end, or for any of the other women (and men) I was working with.

We did have a wee chat room that we could all go on though to snigger exchange notes.

Normal is in not all panty wearing, heavy breathing, call me daddy weirdos.

Mainly pleasant, some charming, many make me laugh, many just talk about normal stuff. Pretty normal.

Anyone know any decent texting companies (preferably non rota) that it's worth me applying to? Been 3 years since i last texted so i'm out of the loop.

Peppermint, as I said, Excel do texting (and Excel are totally non-rota) but apparently their traffic for text is not all that high. I don't know any others, sorry.

And, having done phone and text for over 10 years on and off, I found some callers sweet, some entertaining, some a bit icky, most just a bit boring and socially inept. I wouldn't recommend this sort of work at all to someone who is very romantic, or sexually inexperienced, or deeply monogamist. Those people will hate it and be, frankly, lousy at it. Nor would I recommend it to someone who has been abused and therefore finds it difficult to trust men.

Not every job is suitable for every individual. I hate housework so would never take on cleaning work, for instance. But phone/text sex is the safest form of sex work going, and if you have the right sort of personality/mindset, it's fairly easy and can be fun.

I'm afraid I'm with mumsyblouse on this one. I would rather know all struggling mothers were on the full range of possible benefits than doing this. I cleaned toilets for a living, and probably felt less dirty at the end of the day than I would have done doing this - but that's just me.

How stupid are these men by the way...I can't believe we share a planet with them.

Best of luck op with whatever you do.

they aren't so much stupid, as lonely. that's not so bad, is it? would men phone a number that advertised as 'hey, saddo, you have no friends, nobody loves you, why not call this number and an old lady will listen to your woes and say nice things?' no. tell them its a sex line, listen, give them someone to talk to and an encouraging word, and let them get on with having a wank at the end of the call.

If they invested as much time and money into their social life they might have a real friend.

These lines are addictive - so it is contributing to a bigger problem that will isolate them further...who wants to tell a potential girlfriend they are addicted to dirty phone sex? It is the secretive thrill they get that keeps them going back.

Anyway, not all of them are sad lonely men...a lot are married, or partnered and become addicted to the thrill too. Would any of you be happy to discover your boyfriends or husbands were wanking to other women's dirty talk??

I'd do the text lines. It seems like relatively easy money, and whilst not brilliantly paid, I could work easily around childcare and be more subtle than taking phone calls.

It never ceases to amaze me how stupid men are. You go for it. Have fun, make a bundle and laugh all the way to the bank.

Each to their own.

Personally I have enough of cleaning up piss and shit when im caring for my autistic child, so forgive me if id rather chat to a stranger than scrub loos.

Thanks for the info SGB, tried PMing but its broken.

Going to look into it.

Nowadays work is hard to find especially to fit around a family etc., I work double shifts and have another job as well as my fulltime job and the moneys rubbish. I say go for it. The money will help and as long as you can handle the work and it doesn't upset you in anyway then whats the problem.

Talking dirty and listening to a man wanking over a phone line is hardly having a 'chat'. I like to think that however skint someone is, they would consider themselves better than that. I'm sorry for you if it is the only way you could make money.

I have been absolutely on my arse financially - with a child too, but just couldn't have degraded myself. As has been said - 'each to their own'.

When you have a a child with disabilities your choices are somewhat limited as childcare is scant.

I was thinking more along the texting lines, but either way if I absolutely needed to do it[phonelines] I would.

Don't feel sorry for me and bully for you that you have more choices than I do.

My very closest friend has an autistic child, but she has access to an excellent range of benefits, and is actually better off not working, which means she can care for him at home...so if your child is autistic, how come you need to do this? Is it personal choice? In which case I definitely do not feel sorry for you.

amberleaf, if it fits in with your life and you want to do it, go ahead and don't let anyone make you feel bad about it.

seenenoughtoknow, if you tried it, you'd find it's not degrading. its 'different' but you don't feel defiled. i'd feel a heck of a lot worse about someone coming into my house and touching my stuff!

You are way ahead of yourself seenenoughtoknow

Where have I said I am a sex chat operator?

Thank you lovebunny and dont worry, im not the sort to be bothered by what others think!

seenenoughtoknow re excellent range of benefits, maybe you need to read a paper or something, the welfare state is being dismantled.

I have to think of other options.

I've never been 100% sure why doing sex work is degrading but wearing my body down cleaning or toiling in a factory isn't.

Except for the feminist angle, which I do understand and broadly agree with, I don't really get it.
