My god, I only wish it was this wasy for men to get such an awesome job! I wouldn't be a poor, struggling student any longer.
-
I bet there are companies that want male operaters. I bet they're mostly for male callers too though.
-
Also, I don't know where you live, but where I live it would be rough to live off of $9 an hour, and a rough way to spend 40 hours a week.
-
Now I have "Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith stuck in my head. Interesting article, Sullivan. I think I've read something similar before, possibly this one.
-
The portly phone sex woman from Beavis and Butthead remains indelibly etched in my brain.

Hey, I'm a student. I have countless hours, especially at night where I do little or nothing. If I could not leave the house, and instead be compenstated with $9/hr that wouldn't be too damn bad for me. But you're right about the male callers though. It would be a tad creepy I think. I wouldn't even know where to begin.
-
bah: You could always read gay porn. After all, the callers are just after a "choose your own adventure" version of porn.
-
so, what are you wearing?
-
> It would be a tad creepy I think. Actually, I think it would be easier. Unlike a heterosexual woman, after 8 hours of this work you don't have to find a way to still be attracted to men.
-
Dizzy : What would you like me to be wearing?
-
Apu: "Are you a beautiful woman?" Krusty: "Do I *sound* like a beautiful woman??" Apu: "This is not as hot a party as I had anticipated" Diz: is that a banana in your pocket?
-
rogerd: I guess I could do a lot of things. But many of them involving homosexuals are really of no direct interest to me. I don't know how easily it could be 'faked' anyway.... Armitage Shanks: point taken.
-
While I was a starving student I worked as a phone psychic ($10/hr) and it was overwhelmingly sad. People would call for advice on their financial troubles, and of course I couldn't say that the cards said they should stop calling me at $5.99 a minute for starters. Then there were the people who were just lonely, which became VERY hard to take, especially when the phone system would automatically terminate the calls after an hour and I was left feeling like I had hung up on a pathetic, lonely person. I would imagine that the phone sex would be a variation on the same theme.

One of my former roommates was an internet porn girl. It was a little better because there was another woman who was doing all the web cam work and she was doing all the typing. However, it was very hard for her not to be incredibly squicked out by guys in general after that.
-
Oh, don't be shy, bah... "well, I'm not sure, but I've been having these feelings... I've only just moved to the big city, and I've never been with a man before... I need someone to... *take me in hand*..." ...easy.
-
bah doth protest too much?
-
< perks up > Huh? Internet porn girl? Reeeeaallly? Why wasn't I informed of this? Hmm? HMMM?
-
I my mid to late twenties I was running a lesbian softball league. I was the voice everyone heard for the information line and when I made call-backs. One of the girls that showed up for a meeting came specifically to meet me. She said she had to know who had *that* voice. Years later I found out this was fairly common, lots of women came out for the voice and stuck around for the action. The softball action, pervs!
-
Seems like it'd be a lot like telemarketing. You need a voice people trust, not to be bothered overmuch about the where the truth lies, and the ability to shut your emotions off while you work. Decent pay if you can hack it though, for both jobs.
-
Wow, Kimberly, you've had some, uhh, interesting roommates, eh? Me too. *Shudders*
-
I, for one, am ready for my close up.
-
Someone should really tell these guys about this new invetion....the internet.
-
Cripes, I knew I'd come back here and find you guys with the fishnets streched over your heads and the silky knickers laid out on the night-table.
-
"stretched". Feck it.
-
Ambrosia, if you're referring to the one who slept with my boyfriend that I mentioned in an earlier post... one in the same. She was the internet porn girl too. Probably should have saw it coming, no?
-
You would've, from the sound of it, on www.imastupidbfstealingwhore.com ;) (sorry)
-
Haaa!!! Thanks dave. I needed that.
-
My pleasure... :) I'm here all week.. try the veal!
-
And, because I'm contractually obligated, "so to SPEAK!" Ahem. Carry on.
