Has anyone done this and what was it like? I'm a single mum with lots of time in the evenings. I'm quite open minded and not a prude. My wage just about covers everything and I don't qualify for any top ups but could really do with extra cash and this pays weekly.

If I could do something like this just over webchat rather than actually having to speak I'd totally do it!

Butterymuffin · 08/10/2019 20:48

I was going to also say I didn't think you actually earn that much from it, but if you say anything would help and it fits into your evenings, then sure, give it a go.

HoneyandSpice · 08/10/2019 20:54

I thought about selling my knickers online because apparently you can get at least £15 a pair. But when my friend told me she earned £8 an hour speaking filth to pervs, I decided to get try and get a job in a supermarket.
Because that's less than minimum wage.
For selling your soul to someone.
I also have a 44 year old mate who's mother does sex chat. While she's knitting. Again, she gets less than minimum wage. While the owner of the site charges £££££ per minute.
Couldn't do it. And I've struggled badly to find a job. Today I got a job working on the tills at Sainsbury's for £9.20 an hour.

How much money could you potentially make from it? No judgment from me. But I'd just be cautious that it doesn't turn into anything physical, for your safety. The money in that industry could be appealing.

Lots of websites listed. Look at Cloudworkers.

pinkstripeycat · 08/10/2019 21:08

I looked in to it about 8 yrs ago. The money is in the webcams now but you can mask your face. Nothing wrong with it in my opinion

SlothRunner · 08/10/2019 21:10

Even if it was £8 an hour, if you do a couple of hours 5 nights a week thats over £300 a month. Go for it i say

FiddlesticksAkimbo · 08/10/2019 21:10

It's bound to be low paid - isolated women, often restricted by childcare requirements, working "flexibly" from home, it's pretty much the modern-day equivalent of stitching gloves.

WorraLiberty · 08/10/2019 21:11

I thought phone sex went out with the ark and it was all webcams now?

Andysbestadventure · 08/10/2019 21:12

You have to declare the income through self assessment and pay tax on it like you would the rest of your earnings. Unless you're excellent at it you wont get many callers. I do it sometimes for shits and giggles and because. You have to treat it like work and run roughly from a script you create yourself - the easiest way. Matched betting pays far more but you have to have money in the first place to do that.

SexChatHelp · 08/10/2019 21:13

@WorraLiberty still a market for it apparently and it's not all pervs - some are lonely men who just want to chat to a woman! @SlothRunner that's what I was thinking - I think it pays 9p a minute but I won't have any child care costs and I'm sat at home anyway so might as well answer the phone and talk dirty!

Advanced search 'sex work' on here or the linked threads, there's some helpful advice.

Igotthemheavyboobs · 08/10/2019 21:22

I've tried to get into it but the actual money offered wasn't worth it.

I have also tried to sell old knickers / shoes haha, always got my listing deleted from ebay 🤣 apparently I have too sexualised feet for them!

There's no money in this as a low level - - female-- worker, it's the men owning the websites and phonelines that make the money. You would be better trying to get a normal work from home role like debt collection cals etc.

Good luck though OP, if you go for it I wish you more success than I had

Bloke23 · 08/10/2019 21:26

When you have a bit of money £10 or £25, look into team profit( its free) its matched betting, ive been doing it 2 months now, last month i made £547 and the previous month i made £213!
So far this month i have madd £320

RedSuitcase · 08/10/2019 21:27

9p a minute?!

How long is the average call? Are they back to back calls?

Sounds like depressing work for extremely little and inconsistent pay

WorraLiberty · 08/10/2019 21:29

I didn't say it was all pervs Confused

This thread has been done to death (normally around this time of year because of Christmas) and the one thing I thought I learnt, was that phone sex is pretty much a thing of the past now.

Happy to be corrected.

ExhaustedGrinch · 08/10/2019 21:30

I've done it in the past. It was fucking awful. I wrongly assumed it would be average kind of sex talk - wrong!! Most of it was really weird, like beyond any kind of weird I could have imagined in my head. On top of the weird (and not so wonderful) I'd say around 50% of men asked me to act a lot younger - I mean around 6 or 7 years old, I never did it but there were clearly women who must have been doing it. I lasted a month because I was so upset at the number asking me to basically pretend to be a child.

Weird ones include someone asking me to pretend to be their mother and that I'd just caught him wanking into my (his mothers) underwear. Another man wanted me to verbally abuse him (racially), one man used to call me regularly and have me go online (a website of his choosing) to view underwear and describe said underwear to him (even though he was also viewing it) - he got off on me using the word 'panties'.

I had to pretend to be 5 different women - 4 different age groups and a dominatrix. I knew NOTHING about domination so spent a long time Googling.

I found the domination stuff to actually be more interesting and ended up doing financial domination online for quite a while. I was my own boss, made good money (and gifts), never revealed any flesh etc and as a dominatrix I was in control and the men were 100 times more respectful towards me. I only stopped doing financial domination when I became a mum because I felt it was possibly too risky ie someone might find out where I live and come to my home.
I did actually bump into someone who recognised me from my online persona on a night out. He was with a group of friends and he started kneeling at my feet calling me Mistress, his friends looked gobsmacked, my friends were in stitches!! Grin

Loz90333 · 08/10/2019 21:32

OP. if you have a driving license why don't you consider doing Amazon Flex? You basically deliver parcels for Amazon. Coming up to Christmas there will be loads of deliveries available. You get £13ph, I've been doing it at the weekend. Delivery blocks range from 1 hour to 4 hours. If you were interested all you need to do is download the Amazon Flex app from the app store and follow the instructions.

Andysbestadventure · 08/10/2019 21:37

I get £46 an hr on Adultwork phone chat after fees. But I may only get two 20 minute calls a day when I bother to log on 🤷

Other companies pay about £11.80 an hr at peak times (late night)

You are my hero, Grinch.

Ohyesiam · 08/10/2019 21:43

Is anyone else going
“ financial domination????”

FeeLock28 · 08/10/2019 21:43

I have a friend who runs one of these set-ups (is involved in a number of sex/fetish/women's pornography & literature, etc). It doesn't pay anyone very much, so is really only pin money, but providing you follow simple and basic rules - mentioned above - it's probably no different from any kind of work you do in the home. You do need to keep a clear head and not take any of it too seriously, though.

hidinginthenightgarden · 08/10/2019 21:43

@HoneyandSpice thats all well and good if you have someone to look after your kids whilst you go to work. OP has a day job and childcare responsibilities in the evenings. A supermarket job isn't what she needs.

Greywalls12 · 08/10/2019 21:52

For 9p a minute? Fuck that.
I used to be a webcam model a good 5 years ago. Paid £1 a minute. Made a pretty decent amount but stopped for my mental health.
I think you can cover your face in the cam? Although I never did. Got mostly regulars who wanted the same sort of stuff. I had one guy who i spoke to every week and he actually requested me to cover up and we just had normal conversations for about an hour! Easiest £60 I've ever made.
I would never go back to it now because of DH and DS and i have a professional job, but damn the money was good!
