As I said before, it appears the more blatant fantasists exist on here. At least the chat line gentlemen keep theirs private.

What makes you think that chat line workers are lazy? It's acting; ad-libbing as well. Even stand-up comedy. And all on demand, not when you feel like it.

I have particular views on religious zealots, now rather more concrete after this past week, but I wouldn't dream of imposing them on the members here. Please learn to live and let live and try and stick to the remit of the forum which is to ask for and offer advice and not to proselytise.

Aha! Strange as this may seem, sitting in front of me is the world's best research tool. I've also met several ladies and gents who've done the job. They are all extremely normal down-to-earth people; with the exception of one who was definitely off her rocker. But there's always one and she was beyond redemption. Very sad case. She developed a terrible doner kebab habit through boredom, put on 8 stones and now sells time-share property in Turkey - successfully as it happens! She puts this down to the telephone skills she learned while on the chat lines so there's always a silver lining!!

Hi i actually work for myself doing chat line work and before that person starts im in the UK not dirtying up your beloved country.

I love my job , i think it is very funny. i tell my mum about some of the calls i get im not ashamed of my job.

NO ONE can find u through a chat line!! as richard said they are redirected through a preium number.

NOONE is forced to call chat lines they do so on there own accord.

we are not aloud to talk about such things as rape (forcing if it gets stared out) children , school girls, drugs or anything iligal so we are no winding these men up to go out and commit a crime and even if they were to go out and commit a crime after calling us the police could listen to our calls (all calls are recorded) and see what we talked about and seeing as we dont talk about anything illigal there is no link , its like going out and buying a pasty then mugging an old lady afterwards no link and ppl do what they want does this mean the pasty shop is responsible for this mugging? no.

Pride in my self hmm thats not a tough one. i have a daughter to provide for want me to go on benifits and live off state?? i respect my self for erning the money i do. and providing for my family!

i found a site advertising my job just do a search for chat line jobs. you do not have to pay anything up front if they say that walk away! yes u need to do your own tax and NI but its easy to get set up and the inland revenue are a great help. if u need any more info PM me , but its 100% safe, and most of the callers are the same talk anyway!

oh they way i work is i log on to the system with my pc and them my calls get redirected to me. when a call comes through i pick the phone up and theres a long beep .. and i know its work. the callers profile will then come up on my screen. and i can use that to my advantage!

i would put u in tuch with my company but i know for a fact theres no jobs going atm .

Good luck and happy searching

That was such an interesting post!

I had no idea how this worked but like most people, I'm curious Wink

One thing I'm wondering about is whether you have to have access to the Internet to be able to do this job? Being as your customers info is sent to you via your computer, I mean.

Not that I'm considering doing this job, I'm happy enough where I am, but it's that old curiosity again. And there may be others who want to know, too.

I certainly agree that you've no reason to be ashamed of what you do. It's a job like any other and as you said, you're keeping yourself and your daughter instead of taking state hand-outs. Surely nobody can complain about that?

Take care
Carole

Hi

I have been reading the various comments on the forum about chat-line operators - the good the bad and the ugly.

The thing is, I have worked as a chatline operator for nearly two years now and would like to make the following observations:

If a person it prepared to put in the hours it can make you a good living but do not think of it as an 'easy' way to make money as this can be a lot of work sometimes.

Although we all imagine we are amazingly sexy and know it all, there are still callers who come on and shock on a regular basis and teach me things I never knew.

You need to be flexible and put in very long and unsociable hours sometimes but when you get your weekly paycheck all the sacrifice seems worth it.

You wll be expected to keep your callers online as long as possible as you are paid by the second. Some companies expect a minimum call time for each call (on averge over the week) this is usualy not less than 5 mins and can be very difficult to achieve if you get the wrong type of caller.

So, contrary to what some people have written you cannot be lazy and must make sure your home environment is conducive. For example, no noise in the background, being in a quiet place on your own, etc.

But if you are bright, chatty, have a sexy voice and a good imagination - don't let anyone put you off because it can be fun and not all of the callers want to talk about sex.

I have made a good living out of this (and yes that includes paying tax and ni) and have to say that with the flexibility of working from home and steady income, I think my job is great.

There are some people who have values and morals and some who do not. Anyone can rationalize what they do for a living.

Better to make a phone call than do it in person? That is a very short-sighted statement and it is inaccurate and illogical.

No, you don't make the men call you. Agreed. But you provide the service.
Whether you realize it or not you contribute to the demise of marriages, the proliferation of adultery and sexual misconduct.

No, you aren't the cause of the problem. Agreed. But you are available to see that it continues and it wreaks havoc on lives.

If you want to understand how much damage this does to the people who are struggling to live with it, not fully understanding the depth of the attraction, but faced with the reality of distrust and emotional pain, ask someone who has lost faith in their spouse.

With the greatest respect, any obsession can have the same disruptive effect on families. Gambling, drink even work has destroyed many a family. Anything with sexual overtones is just viewed disproportionately. I still believe the industry serves an existing market, not creates it, and would rather the few people who use it had an outlet for their vices than none at all.

Anyway, this board is not for moralising on so let's try and keep the discussion on work related matters.
