Basically that. I'm not good looking, I'm fat but I've got good bants.

We earn minimum wage and rent so no prospects of owning our own home anytime soon even though that's our dream.

A friend of mine suggested to me that she's thinking about being a sex chat operator or a sex text operator. I've looked it up and it looks "easy money"

Has anyone thought of doing it or done it? I would be interested to know your experiences......

I've always thought this would be a piece of piss & easy money-there's most likely more to it though I expect.

JohnLapsleyParlabane · 14/01/2018 19:56

I got turned down for this very job about 20 years ago. Apparently I sounded too young.

Fatbadger · 14/01/2018 19:56

I can imagine you must get some awful callers - but surely the texting wouldn't be so bad?? I could text all day and it's easy to hide behind a computer screen and become the filthiest person know to man Grin

John what was it that made you decide to do it? The money?

I'd doubt they're very popular anymore.

riledandharrassed · 14/01/2018 19:57

I know someone who has done this . You can’t get turned down for some methods of doing it as you’re fully self employed . Message me for details if you’re interested .

2cats2many · 14/01/2018 19:58

Do they still exist? Surely it's all webcams these days.

NotTheFordType · 14/01/2018 19:59

It's pretty much minimum wage if that. You're better off on webcam.

AccidentallyRunToWindsor · 14/01/2018 20:00

Maybe older people still do it? Making a huge assumption they may not be technically savvy enough to find internet grot?

A friend at uni used to do it and she raked it in- that was nearly 20 years ago though!

Fatbadger · 14/01/2018 20:00

Apparently so. Abit like babestation I suppose but without the view lol

I can't do webcam, I'm not attractive and I'm fat 😕

I wanted to work nights but stay at home. I think it was an episode of Londons Burning that inspired me to apply!

VivienneWestwoodsKnickers · 14/01/2018 20:02

My friend and her mum (!) worked at the call centre HQ, where they answer the calls with a breathy "Welcome to the Pleasurecall" (name changed), took their credit card details, asked what kind of call they wanted (other woman, wife, foreign accent, dominance etc) - with the sole exception of schoolgirls, then put the call through to the lasses on the phones, who were mostly at home and none of whom were likely in any form of sexy lingerie! Lots of regulars asking for specific speakers.

More than minimum wage, but not exciting.

riledandharrassed · 14/01/2018 20:03

If you do it through adultwork you are your own boss , set your own rates . People make £90 an hour in some instances that way :) check the site out . Also there is plenty of calling for BBW cam girls I’m sure

riledandharrassed · 14/01/2018 20:04

There is also a Channel 4 documentary still on IPlayer called my phone sex secret . Lots of friends did this at uni 😂

Fatbadger · 14/01/2018 20:04

Sex sells as they say 🤔 Someone once told me that you can sell your used underwear too!!

People do NOT make £90 an hour on AW for non-visual chat! Prostitutes onAW are charging that for full sex.

HateIsNotGood · 14/01/2018 20:17

I have considered it, amongst many other jobs that I have considered, and decided prior to applying that i would be very unsuitable. If anyone thinks that they are suitable for doing that job then they should apply.

I couldn't do it only because I don't think that I have the 'skills' required eg: talking on the phone, a good 'knowledge-base' to talk about.

HateIsNotGood · 14/01/2018 20:18

However I think I could do the job Vivienne Westward describes...

riledandharrassed · 14/01/2018 20:19

Whatwouldflopdo - I know people who did it 4-5 years ago . They didn’t may that every hour obviously but sometimes got lengthy callers . Upto . People set their rates at 2.50 and that isn’t hard?

WhatWouldFlopDoToday · 14/01/2018 20:40

For non-visual though?! This was something I knew an awful lot about 10 years ago and even then if anyone wasn’t also doing web-cam work they might get 1-2 calls a fortnight. And even then it was mostly people attempting to access webcams and not realising they were non- visual only.

If you do webcam alongside then regulars will spend a fortune on phone chat as well. Once you’ve done a couple of webcam sessions and they’ve got to know you. Some girls would get a mate to take the calls if she was busy and mate had a similar voice, but you won’t make anything from Phone chat. Seriously.

I've done it. I started when I became a single mum and was desperate to earn more money. Id read about it in a magazine.

It's easy in that you don't have to go out to earn money, you're in the privacy of your own home you don't even have to get dressed if you dont want to, and you work in your own time.

But - you need a strong constitution for it. It's good money if you can sit there taking one call after another for ages. Most people can't, as your brain needs a break from role-switching into the myriad of fantasies that men have. Regular callers who get used to you and like you is what really brings in the money.

I saw that programme with the woman who claimed to have made £100s per week. I thought, no way - unless you were putting in say 12 hours 7 days a week. & that's without the times you can sit there 30+ minutes and not 1 call comes through.

If you're easily offended or yuk about men and their fantasies it won't be for you. If you can screen it all out and solely think about the cold hard cash (that's me) then it's fine

Phone sex is still popular enough, which surprises me in this day and age but then for various reasons people like a voice, someone to talk to I guess. Not all calls are sex related and done of the ones that are, don't end up that way. I've not done extreme lines where anything goes, only ones that have sensible rules re what you can and can't talk about.

I wanted to do webcam initially for more money but, I know I'm way too lazy to get dressed up and fully made up for it. Can't be asked. & I don't want to be seen either..flaps on the internet forever, clips passed around on mobile phones etc..no thanks

maddiemookins16mum · 14/01/2018 20:42

Nah, I'd be shite at it (and laugh).

Iminthetiredmumsclub · 14/01/2018 20:47

I've been considering selling my used underwear for some time now....

MistressDeeCee · 14/01/2018 21:02

Nah, I'd be shite at it (and laugh)

I hit the mute button on my phone when I can't hold my laugh Grin
