Believe it or not, phone sex has been around for a really long time! It started way back in the 80s, pretty much when calling people on the phone became a regular thing. But only in the last 10 years or so, it has become super popular among the younger generations. In the 80s, phone sex was primarily reserved for phone sex phone numbers. Those numbers are still around today and they offer an amazing avenue to have phone sex with professionals. Some of these lines are also known as erotic chat lines, and they usually come with a free trial! People used to poke fun at folks who used those lines. You pictured a slimy older guy who lives in his mom’s basement using them when he was feeling lonely. And, like many other sexual taboos, phone sex has now become the norm – and even a preference for some people. I am here to explain why phone sex is now so popular, and why you should give it a go if you haven’t already!
Safety
Phone sex is one of the safest ways to engage another person in a sexual act. There was a whole sexual liberation in the 60s and 70s that lead to folks taking risks when it came to sex. Then, people started to get a little more cautious. Phone sex poses no threat of illness, so it’s one of the safest ways to have sex. Additionally, unlike messaging or using online platforms, phone sex with an operator is anonymous and you aren’t required to send revealing photos. It’s having sex, but in your imagination, with the person you are speaking with. Because of how safe it is, people are using it more frequently to get off!
Convenience
Phone sex started rapidly rising in popularity after people began to start owning cell phones. Now, phones are pretty much attached to us wherever we go. We don’t have to use a landline when dialing a phone sex number or calling our partner for phone sex. We can use our little handheld devices! In that way, phone sex is extremely convenient. Not to mention that phone sex numbers operate 24/7, so you really are putting very little effort into getting your rocks off. Additionally, you can do it from the comfort of your bed or couch! You don’t have to get all dressed up for a date or pay the expenses that come along with one. You can have phone sex safely in the comfort of your own bedroom in ratty pajamas if that is what you want to do!
Autonomy
Sex comes with a ton of pressures, and most of us have sexual insecurities. Phone sex helps you gain confidence around the subject of sex and teaches you how to have control over your sex life. Not sure if a kink is right for you? Test the waters through the art of phone sex! It’s a near-zero pressure way to explore your fantasies. It also gives you a language in which to discuss sex and desires with potential partners, increasing your sexual confidence overall!
