Odd Jobs Part Deux: Sexin' On The Phone.

Now as you may already know, the economy is fucked. Yes, I said it. It's no surprise that people are doing various different things to make ends meet and those are what I like to call "Odd Jobs". There's nothing wrong with doing odd jobs, it's just all in what you do and how you do it. The variety is endless and if you're smart about it, you can not only stimulate your bank account, but your resume' as well!

This is where I am going to tell you about a short-lived odd job of mine that really gave me a decent form of income as well as some confidence to speak in the real world- PLUS, I also gained some creative skill which to me is always awesome to have! In case the title wasn't obvious enough...I was a "Phone Sex Operator".

Now back before the movie: "For a Good Time Call..." was released, not many people had thought about how stimulating being a phone sex operator could be and ever since this movie's release, more women (some men, even) have gone out of their boxes and jumped into the phone sex business. To be honest, if you haven't seen the movie, I suggest it highly because it depicts just about as real as it gets for that business.

In fact, there's many great benefits to being a phone sex operator that it almost outweighs the cons.

Pros:

• You get to be your own boss
• You set the rates you want
• You work whenever you want
• You get to express your sexual side without revealing your identity
• Lastly, you can make really good money if you keep up with it.

Cons:

• Massive amounts of perverts
• Sometimes you're asked to do things outside of your comfort zone (IE: letting them hear you take a dump, etc)
• Cheap two pump chumps (and I only say this because that's the majority of your callers, but like it the movie and explained...if you set a minimum rate, you can avoid that and the real deals will come in)
• Phone bill costs (Which you can make discrete by getting an "800" number or going through a service)

It's harmless if you really think about it and as I have stated, no one needs to know who you are and plus, from my perspective....I'd rather have a man call me to get off than go to a prostitute or submitting to actual cheating. If you look at it that way, then you'll see that it really isn't all that bad. Plus, Ladies, if your man gets off on that and comes back to you to get it on...you'd totally see it in another light.

The way I see it...people are more open to doing shit that was/used to be taboo. Think back around 20 years ago when an actual career was all business oriented and you did the whole 9-5 deal, but sexual oriented jobs weren't ever mentioned and just shoved under the rug. In conclusion, running a phone sex line is very business oriented and it's a unique way to expand your options. This business entails a lot of work and sometimes, if not done right, can take a while to build a significant amount.

So look at this however you will, but personally, this is an out of the norm job for people with that have a certain special skill with their voice. A job is a job.

Sincerely,

Josie
