Surge in Moms Turning to Phone Sex Jobs By Christine Durst & Michael Haaren, Dallas Morning News / Creators Syndicate Columnists Dec. 22, 2011 When Good Morning America interviewed Chris recently about moms working from home as phone sex actresses (the segment is online here), a tidal wave of visits swamped our RatRaceRebellion.com server. We were reporting on the surge in interest we ourselves had seen in phone sex jobs. The GMA segment triggered an even great surge. It’s not hard to understand why. The thousands of emails we received tell the story. Many are heartbreaking. The economy has been far more devastating than officials want to admit. Here is just a sampling of what viewers shared.
Not all the interest in phone sex jobs comes from desperation, of course. Many phone sex operators, or PSOs, as they’re known, report that they are happy in their jobs. They entered the field out of personal interest, curiosity or other reasons. Many PSOs simply consider themselves actresses. Others see themselves as informal therapists, meeting a critical social need. Some say that their calls often don’t even involve sex, but rather companionship and understanding. Phone sex operators earn an average of roughly $15 an hour, though they can earn much more as freelance professionals, running their own businesses. Some PSOs report earning as much as $1,000 per day or more. PSOs who specialize in fetishes or other interests charge as much as $50 per minute. They may also specialize in certain groups of clients, such as businesspeople on the road. Of course, as with any type of job, phone sex work is not for everyone. PSOs must be comfortable acting various roles and listening to a wide variety of comments, and must have a quiet place to talk. Children, if any, mustn’t be present, needless to say. And significant others must be part of the decision, too. For more information on PSO jobs, see our list of resources here. ---- Christine Durst and Michael Haaren are leaders in the work-at-home movement and advocates of de-rat-raced living.
