To do phone sex job

[Sexysausage668]

Hi all, I'm really struggling with a decision and wonder what people thought.
I work full-time for a big care provider and whilst I don't earn terrible money I am starting to struggle to make ends meet
I've looked at a second job but as a single mum with small kids I couldn't commit to anything else on a contractual basis.
A good friend recently told me she was working on an ad-hoc basis for a chatline operator where you pick your own hours.
The money is ok and it helps her financially.
I've started giving this line of work serious thought.
I have every other weekend free where I could do this without my children present and it would mean I wouldn't have to commit to shifts etc.
I'm worried my main job would find out and I would be in trouble due to the nature of the work,which is the main thing making me hesitant.
Should I give it a go? Thoughts please.

Why not. Providing it is just a chatline and they don't want "extras". I guess your existing employer would find out through tax code changes but they wouldn't know what you were doing. I guess they might ask you though. I'm sure other posters will be along with some moral reasons but if it fits your free hours, you need the money and your kids aren't around then give it a go. I assume your friend hasn't raised any red flags about it?

I used to be amused by the idea of getting paid to talk filth to some bloke while I was cutting my toenails or doing the ironing. Now I'm older I'm not so sure. Imagine having to pretend to be aroused when a man is telling you how hot it is to strangle you.

I'd get more detail about the permitted content of the calls from your friend and the organisation first.

No harm giving it a bash, you've not nothing to lose.

For context I had looked at doing tutoring so work were aware I was possibly going to have h a second income,sadly it didn't come off but I'm guessing they would only see my tax code change and not the company etc. I believe the company is listed as a media company anyway.
I have asked her about content and the rules are no rape, violence , incest or beastiality or calls are terminated.

I remember going to a job interview for a sex line call centre?! Like I get doing it from home but there were booths with them all eating and drinking and making all these weird slurpy noises! It was chaotic.

I think I'd find it kinda embarrassing as I wouldn't know what to say, but no harm in trying it.

I'd imagine some of the men are pretty grim and they might wanna talk about stuff that's way beyond your boundaries. So in that respect it could be a bit yuck.

But it's not like they'll know who you are and you can hang up and bar people presumably if they overstep.

Lol @BillieWiper that sounds grim! The work is from home so luckily no other sound effects 😆

This thread is a blast from past, Mumsnet was full of them when I joined 15 years ago!

Do phone sex lines still exist?

I thought it was all webcam now?

Do not do this, especially not from a place of desperation. Its a horrible line of work the people who call you are horrible and it will suck your soul out. It will also potentially desensitise you and then you end you doing more than you initially intended. It will also mess your head up about men for a long time, maybe forever in a way that could affect your relationships in future.

I'm amazed these things still exist. It's very 1970s and outdated. Like pp I'd assumed it was all OnlyFans now. Why would anyone pay for a voice on a phone?

You do get sound effects over the phone. I used to be a Samaritan and had to deal regularly with 'inappropriate' calls. "Tell me about your feelings" I'd be trying to steer them away from detail and soon start detecting a quickening rhythmic moist noise in the background. Ahhhhh. End call.

Ugh, that would give me the right ick. I wouldn’t be able to act well enough to not slam down the phone with a dirty old man on the other end maybe having a wank talking to me. Gross! Are you really ok with men maybe saying vile things they want to do to you down the phone??

I suppose for me they don't know me or know who I am so I'm not worried.
The job I'm in you have to be fairly tough as it's medical so I've seen and heard it all to be fair.

@Whatifitallgoesright thats made me chuckle but not fair for people who generally need you guys at the Samaritans.Absolutely amazing you have done that by the way.

I just can't see you earning that much to be honest.

It makes no sense that blokes would rather spend money on not being able to see the woman he's chatting to, rather than see her remove her clothes etc whilst they chat.

Same I assumed it was only fans now

My concern would be if a relative or someone you knew phoned up 😬 I like to think the chances are low but always a chance.

Apparently my friend is really busy, I'm guessing calling for some people is easier ? I suppose I won't know how busy or not until I decided to try it.

Nah I still can't see it OP, it just doesn't make sense.

Even if someone doesn't have a laptop they'll likely have a smart phone.

You need to check there's a basic wage because if you have to sit around all week waiting for the phone to ring, you'll earn nothing.

No don't do it. A lot of the men won't want vanilla stuff. There will be some vile 'kinks' and desires that push boundaries and men that will be abusive. It's highly likely you will regret it.

I would have thought this too!

@DeskGnome is correct. This is pointless. You won’t make money & it’s a waste of your time.

I do also think it’s completely vile 🤮

I sometimes wonder if these threads are started by ex phoneline users, who want to reminisce and hear stories from ex workers from back in the day.

Well if you fancy helping some sad desperate pathetic little man wank off then go for it…personally I would do anything other than that but it’s your choice.

I worked on one 20 years ago. I used to do cross words with them . There was some of the sexual talk but I had regular callers talking general stuff for hours.

I doubt there's much money to be made. Cam work is probably more lucrative, because not as many people would want the risks of doing it.

I remember being in a very desperate place financially some years ago and told a friend I was considering escorting. She said one of her other friends had done it, and quit after a few months. She was never able to look at men in the same way again. It disturbed her so much.
