Yes, Phone Sex Operators Still Exist
I am a phone sex operator (PSO). It is no longer my main paycheck, but it is a quick and convenient fallback when money is a little tight.
The first question that I often get when I say that I have phone sex for money is: “Wow, people still do that?”
My response is usually, “What? Have phone sex or pay for it?”
In a world of free internet porn, it may seem strange that someone would pay per minute for something that many of us associate with long distance relationships or being young and sneaky.
However, for many callers, phone sex is a sexual experience that provides intimacy, companionship, honesty, anonymity, and customization that you don’t necessarily get from a sexy Google search.
My experience as a PSO began in 2016, after 3 months of unemployment and a dwindling savings account. After a semi-desperate Facebook post asking if anyone had ideas for how I could make some quick cash, a friend of mine revealed to me that she had been paying her bills selling her art AND… being a phone sex operator.
I’ve always been sexually open and adventurous. I dabbled in professional dominatrix work in college, and was no stranger to kink and the politics around sex work. She gave me some information on how the process works and some quick tips on how to add some variety to my repertoire, and sent me off into the world.
I dislike talking on the phone, but dislike being evicted even more, so one day soon after, I bought a selection of pictures of an adult model to use as the face of my ad*, and posted.
I don’t remember my first call or my 100th, but I do remember some of the interesting ones, for example:
- Callers who just want someone to talk to about anything;
- Some that wanted to talk dirty and then talk about dogs for an hour;
- One who sent pictures of himself in lingerie, along with email addresses of his close family members, because the fear of blackmail excited him;
- A really creepy call that suddenly ended with the caller saying, “thanks for playing” *click*;
My personal favorites are the generous callers who are interested in financial domination or just like to send gifts (If you decide to do this, PLEASE get a P.O. box, for your safety)
I didn’t expect phone sex operating to be so interesting or lucrative. This is not to say it is an easy job. There are calls that cross personal boundaries often, and you have to be willing to invest time and a little money into your ads.
Being a PSO has increased my confidence and helped me gain ownership over my sexuality. It has improved how I communicate my interests and desires to my partners, and it’s a fun fact to share during awkward work icebreaker activities (maybe).
In the near future, Permission Slip will be offering courses on how to have dynamic phone sex for folks interested in becoming PSOs and for anyone that is just interested in adding another sexy skill to their love life.
*Not using your real picture or having multiple ads with different models is common practice in PSO-ing, and I encourage PSO’s who do not want to use their own pictures to support other sex workers by purchasing photos and the rights to use them.
