What It’s Like To Be A PSO During The Pandemic

2020, the year of the completely crazy unexpected. I consider myself really lucky as a phone sex operator because my job wasn’t compromised during this wild pandemic. Many people lost their jobs or were forced into dangerous work situations just so that they could pay their bills. So I am really grateful that my job is one I can do from home, in my little PJs or silk teddy. Being a phone sex operator has always been rewarding for me. I love to explore my own sexuality and get into the sexual sides of other people. My clients always seem really satisfied, which is fulfilling. A little shameless plug there! These days, sex is kind of compromised. People can’t go out and meet up for one-night-stands (something I admittedly used to love doing). They can’t call an ex for a night of ecstasy. People are relying on the phone and the internet more than ever now to find sexual gratification. In other words, phone sex is blowing the f*** up! Phone sex is a way to explore masturbation with the help of another live human being. And whether you do it with someone you know (like someone you are in a long-distance relationship with) or a phone sex operator, it seems to be a bit more fulfilling than doing it alone and to porn. That’s just my personal take, some people love porn. If you do – no judgment! If you’re curious what it’s like to be a phone sex operator during the pandemic, I am here (as always) to share with you the truth. Here are some things I have noticed, some things that have changed, and other things that have stayed the same.

 

There are more callers these days

Yes, business is booming. There has been an increase in callers. Before the pandemic, I got a lot of calls. What can I say? I am good at my job! I have repeat clients, clients who find this blog and call, and new callers all the time. But before the pandemic, there were certainly times of the day or night that were busier than others. But now people are trapped at home all the time. If they aren’t swamped with work, what else are they going to do? Plus, orgasms are providing a very necessary stress release which is helpful during the cloud of panic that has seemed to settle over the world. So yes. People are calling way more. There are still times which are busier than others (most of my money is made after the sun goes down), but I am seeing that I am getting more calls during the day too. I would venture to guess that the caller rate has increased by 25% – but that’s just a guess. Math isn’t my strong suit! Orgasms are!

 

More and more people are calling for the girlfriend experience

Men used to call and tell me about their fantasies. They love BDSM, exhibitionism, cuckolding, etc… Occasionally, I would get a request for the girlfriend experience. That term is thrown around a lot in sex work and can apply to escorts and phone sex operators. What it refers to is the fantasy that the guy isn’t talking to a stranger or an operator. They are instead talking to a girlfriend. It is a way for men to connect their sexuality with their emotional side. The pandemic has put a lot of people in a lonely space. It doesn’t surprise me that there are more requests now for the girlfriend experience than there was in the past. I am hearing more about people’s days and some calls even feel like a therapy session (for the client and me both!).

 

PSOs are getting more respect

Sex workers, unfortunately, aren’t always respected. From escorts to operators, sex workers have always had an iffy reputation. But the pandemic has shined a light on sex work. Times are also changing and people are becoming more accepting of sex work. Phone sex operators, in particular, are experiencing a larger amount of respect recently because many women are turning to phone sex to make a bit of extra money. How can they hate on it when they are trying to do it themselves? It’s good for operators as a whole and doesn’t really take away from our business. This is because not everyone can just become a phone sex operator. As normal girls try to get in the field, more people are realizing how tough and how much skill it actually takes to be a phone sex operator. You can’t just get on the phone and moan. You have to be engaged, be an actress, be excited, be imaginative… I mean the list goes on and on. It has taken me years to perfect the skills needed to be a great phone sex operator.

It’s a way for me to stay connected

Personally, phone sex has saved me during this pandemic. I am a social person and I love getting to know people. My job is really great in that it forces me to listen to the innermost thoughts and intimate moments of strangers across the country (and sometimes across the world). I need this connectedness right now. It has stopped me from going into a downward spiral like I have seen many people do during these crazy times. The short of it is that I really love my job, love my clients, and love phone sex in general!
