Jobs in Adult Chat Lines

SurferGal

Im interested in working at a adult chat line, part time to earn some extra money. Where and how do I go about applying for a job with one of them? all the ads in the papers are for callers only. How much do the earn per hour?
any advice would help hugely. Thanks.

It is actually quite difficult to get a job in this area in Ireland due to the controversial nature of the industry. There is strict regulation and you have to be a member of the Federation of Entertainment Chat and Adult Lines.

To be a member of this group means attending a 3 day intensive course run by the federation. The course is called "Matters", it includes how to rationalise a conversation, knowing when to terminate a call, identification of breathing rhythms so you can judge call "completion", first aid in case a caller has a medical emergency (quite common). The second day has a four hour long course on the special language that is used on these Adult Lines. The course is called the Alphabet and Neologisms of Adult Lines. This is where you use all the various phrases and "dirty" words to stimulate a caller. Remember at the end of the day you have to give the caller good service or they won't call back or hang up the call early.

The third day is all role playing (but not in the sex game type way though I guess it's close!) where each participant plays a caller with a specific need and the other person acts as the line operator or "taker" as the industry calls it. At the end of the day is a written test as well as oral. If your oral is good and what you put down on paper then you're certified can can join the industry. The Federation are the ones who'll put you in touch with employers.

Good luck with it all!

My girlfriend worked on one for a couple of months, none of the stuff damien.m's mentioned though was involved. The most training was a booklet with possible scenarios and other ways of talking etc to be read, thats was pretty much it.

Shouldn't this be in the work forum? Not really much to do with L/G/B.

Sorry, but thats quite funny in its own way. I'm sure it'd be less funny if I'd actually ever called one of those lines

Oh, dear, note the acronym.

It's my understanding that a significant proportion of those "make $$$£€Rouble at home in your spare time" things are of this nature.
