Phone sex is an impulsive purchase in my opinion. It’s not something you plan out before you call. It’s usually not a purchase you make after months of deep thought. But I do want callers to sometimes stop and think a bit before they jump too.
I know my naughty callers occasionally try out other phone sex services. They always find their way back to me eventually, but there are so many options out there now — who wouldn’t shop around? There are many many services on the net — most are great businesses — and some are not. The phone sex industry really has no one regulating it that keeps us from “lying” or “falsely” advertising. So how can you be sure? Any special things you should do to be a smart phone sex shopper? Of course there are!
1. If you go to a site and write a phone number down — make sure you jot down the billing company name as well as the url. If a billing issue occurs you want to know exactly where you got that number from! Always contact the company immediately as most will fix mistakes quite easily. But you need to know where you got that number from to avoid a problem.
2. Look over the whole site carefully and make sure ALL your questions are either answered on it — or that they offer contact info for the owner. Do not just rely on the phone sex operator for answers. Operators can come along and disappear quickly — it’s always best that you know how to contact the actual owner in case of a problem. That’s not to say that there aren’t really good operators either…. It just means that you need to make sure you have all options available to you!
3. Pay close attention to the time you spend on the phone. It’s pretty easy to let your time over without even realizing it! Especially with your dick in your hand. Ask the operator at the end of the call what amount you have spent … especially if you pay per minute. Those minutes can stack up quickly, and you do not want a shock when you get your bill! Just remember that most billing occurs AFTER your call… just because you request 10 minutes of time doesn’t mean that is all that is used. It’s your responsibility as the customer to watch what you spend (after all it is your money)… but a good phone sex operator will be honest and keep you informed too.
4. Never forget that you are paying for the operators TIME… not just the dirty talk. This means if you talk about sex for 10 minutes and then the weather for 5 minutes that you may be charged for it. Don’t assume the operator’s time is ever free unless she tells you it is.
5. With the explosion of phone sex sites out there — try to stick with one that appears professional in what they SAY - and has been around awhile. New sites mean new owners/operators … that means the company MAY lack experience which may mean more errors. This is not a golden rule, but often the case.
6. Get a feel for the entire website. A good reliable business puts a great deal of effort into its website. It has good spelling, a decent design, is easy to navigate, has content and so forth. A cookie cutter type of site may indicate a lady or business is looking for “fast money”. There is no such thing as fast money — and a good business knows it! Hopefully you know that might be a risk to give your personally identifiable information to a person who is out to make fast bucks.
7. Find out HOW your info is stored! This is IMPORTANT. Is it inside a database and if so — is that database online somewhere? How many people SEE your info before it is billed? Is it shared among all the operators, even those you have never spoken to? Is your personally identifiable info EMAILED to anyone? Does the company employ safety precautions such as password protected databases, firewalls, and virus protection? Remember that if your info is on an operators computer — without protection, and her PC is hacked … your info is available for use from someone else. The “company” itself may be quite secure but the operator MAY not be. Question it!
8. Here is a good one. Ask yourself when reviewing a site — “what is the code of ethics here”. Look for some moral code, mission type statements, and simple business ethics. Look for a morality on the site in the way they do business. Having a dirty call is great… but the business side is important too. While it may not be overly obvious or stated in the way I mentioned it — there is usually a FEEL of it.
9. How open is the site? How inviting is the business? How much do you SEE about them? Hey, you are giving out your personal information — make sure they give YOU theirs too! You should know HOW they do business without having to ask. That also means that YOU as the customer needs to stop and read the each site carefully. Calling and asking an operator how they do things is important too but it should be done to verify what the site said.
10. While I understand the need and desire for online payment services in the phone sex industry … I’d like you to think them over before using them. 3rd party payment systems are often used and pay close attention… its means a 3rd party has your info. The danger with these online payment systems is that any lady can make a webpage and use an online payment service. It may NOT be a REAL registered business and that means they can be shut down easily. The likelihood of unethical practices are increased … meaning your info may not be safe etc etc. A genuine merchant account means a company has been clearly investigated by a bank. It means they must follow rules and they have a business plan etc.
11. Beware of operators who ASK for a tip or a gift. A tip or a gift should be completely optional as well as YOUR choice, and think of it like a restaurant or a hair salon– never going above 15-20% of what you have spent. Just use common sense. Whatever your fantasy may be — you are ultimately paying for the service already, if you are asked for more money or to buy gifts by the operator it really is an additional PAYMENT. A good business offers quality service with no hidden agenda or fees…. And if the operator is ASKING for more, or even implying you should pay more… then you have to ask yourself what YOU get for it. If you are the type of guy that WANTS to do it because you are generous – then great, go for it…. Just make sure it is your choice. I’ve received all sorts of gifts during my time in the industry from lingerie to DVDs, CDs, Books, and yes lots of monetary “tips”. But I always let the person decide if they want to, I don’t ask for it or hint at it. Maybe it’s just my personal opinion on the topic… but I never allow greed to interfere with my morals. If I was a waitress I wouldn’t ask either lol.
In summary, I have heard all sorts of horror stories about phone sex services, one girl services, and etc. Being on this side of the industry I’ve seen bad behavior take place often from operators and even owners. I could tell you all stories I’ve even witnessed and it would make you cringe! You as the customer also have to make sure you keep yourself in check too by being a smart phone sex shopper! Be cautious who you do business with, and always spend your money wisely.
