hello. i'm 20 and finding it hard to make ends meet with just my regular job. a friend told me that it's possible to do chat line work from home (talking dirty on the phone) and i wondered weather anybody else has got any experience with this or knows where i can find a job like this?

i'm very broad minded and it seems ok to me when there isnt any proper contact with the men and if i could fit this around my other job it would be really great.

thank you for the link but did u read it? its all about what men can get from phone sex and how much it will cost them and things. it doesnt tell me anything about how i can get a job or what i'd need to do.

is there really no one else out there who has worked on a chat line? there are so many of them that somebody must do this sort of work or did it before? you can be a guest here (like me) and then nobody will know who you are so you dont have to think about being ashamed of your job or anything. i dont think its something to be ashamed of anyway but people judge others.

Hi Ginger Patty!

I wrote a really long message for you yesterday but I though this thread had been deleted (it had been moved) so it didn't get posted. Uff... guess I have to start all over again.

First of all, as somebody who worked on chat lines for 8 years, let me tell you that it IS NOT easy money, no matter what people try to tell you. You'll have to work very long hours and for several companies if you're going to have any chance of making ends meet.

Which brings me onto the next point. Don't just sign up with one company. None of them like you to work for more than just their company but that's their tough titty because the truth is, you can't make a living otherwise. Just don't tell them how many you work for - it's none of their business really because they aren't going to employ you, they'll just be paying you on a self-employed basis. I'd say you need to work for about 5-6 companies if you're serious about making this your full-time business.

To start with, work will come in slowly. You'll find yourself waiting around for calls that come in few and far between but once you start building up your own group of clients (those who specifically ask to speak to you when they book a call), you'll soon be getting more work. The companies will want to see that you can bring back the clients first. Once they know you can do that, they'll put more work your way.

As mentioned, you'll be self employed. You'll need to do all your taxes and NIC yourself. It's important you keep a record of earnings and outgoings (anything you spend in connection with your job - magazines to get fantasy ideas, creams for making noises (use your imagination there), stamps and stationary for sending your time sheets etc to the companies you work for, and anything else relevant). If you make a full-time career out of it, I'd suggest using an accountant. You'll probably also want to sort out some kind of health insurance (you won't get sick pay, remember) and put away money to cover the loss of income while you're away on holiday etc.

Where to find work? My first suggestion is to buy a copy of the Sunday Sport. Look at the ads for "Live Call Back" and phone the companies. Introduce yourself and ask if they're looking for any operators at the moment. If they aren't, ask them if they could put you on their list for future use. Always tell them that you have experience even if you haven't. Very few companies will take on anybody without experience (the old chicken and egg syndrome). Try doing a search on the net, although I have to admit that I just tried and didn't come up with anything. Mind you, I only did a couple of searches.

Like I said, I did the job for a long time and made it my business. I worked every day and the only time I ever had off was Wednesday evenings and Sunday daytimes. Otherwise I worked 7am-3pm and 6pm-11pm every day. I took three weeks holiday and my birthday and Christmas day off. I made a decent living but I had to keep myself very organised because I was working for at least half a dozen companies at any given time. I was lucky because I'd built up a reputation and the companies didn't mind me working for others because they knew I was good. They didn't want to lose me by saying I couldn't work for others. You can also do that but it takes time and dedication (just like with any other business).

If you have any other questions, I'm happy to answer. I'll pop in now and then to see if there are any replies on this post.

Good luck

Iona

What income can you expect from such a business ?
How many people call ?
Is it mentally sterssing.

Me personally I never called, never had the urge but I am sure other man find it exciting.

There's lots of jobs like this over in Germany or Europe I have read in this forum. It's people like this here that are causing such horrible things to happen. Look at the type of an outcome here.

Is this legal?

Is some man gonna come knocking on your door or calling you once he finds out who you are, and I don't mean to pay you?

What if someone beats you up?

Making noises to stir up interest in men, what a lie.

What are ya doing, damaging the men? Look at the trouble this could cause someone who joins and pays you:

Money out of their charge card.
Imaginary ideas thata don't go no where.
Possible police/legal action as if you get them all stirred up and they go and hurt someone or try to molest someone that is real in their area, thinking "all" women are like that, they could end up having to go to Prison, Jail, at least have to go to sexual offender treatment or sexual counseling.

What if some stupid man falls in love with you and finds you in the shower?

What if some stupid woman falls in love with you that is gay?

Do you not have any pride in yourself?

Do you not have any pride in your family?

What about your image?

If after you read the above and still want to do this sort of thing, then leave the USA and go over to Germany where they appreciate this sort of a career.

I can't help thinking from reading some of the posts made here that the "antis" are just as healthy fantasists as the callers to the chat lines.

I've known some chat line girls and they are just doing a job and like all jobs, there are always some people who find certain aspects of it distasteful. I couldn't work in an abbattoir for instance or for that matter, an A & E ward (Emergency Room) and I've never met any girls who thought that they weren't providing a service. More often than not they're totally disinterested in the caller's sexual bent. To be honest, I'd rather men got their kicks from a disembodied voice than from a real person.

Violent movies and video games are probably an even bigger threat to society than chatlines; they deal with an even more profound suspension of reality and more often than not, present directly to children. Most operators working from home are discreet when children are around and it would be extremely difficult to be "found" by a caller as calls are usually routed through a premium number/third party.

Having said that, I couldn't do it and I'd feel a certain amount of jealousy if my partner was talking to another man in that manner, especially if I was "on rations".
