Summary: The industry would collapse if all men read this book
Review: Hey fellas, how would you feel if you knew that hot phone-sex operator you wasted $40 on last night was really a GUY? This memoir of life in the highly profitable adult entertainment industry can be funny, but overall it is very disturbing to read about all the horrible things callers make the "girls" say and do. Lots of mysogyny, horrible cursing, sadistic and pedophilic fantasies...but I guess it's better these losers pay some girl (or guy) to take their abuse over the phone than inflict it upon their loved ones or strangers. A very surreal read, not for the faint of heart.
Rating: 
Summary: Wonderful book
Review: If anyone could possibly appreciate this book, it would be me. I too, am a phone sex operator just like the author of this book (except I really AM a woman and don't just pose as one). I didn't realize this book would be written from a man's perspective when it was purchased for me, but I opened the book with an open mind. The author talks about his occupation as a male phone sex operator (well he actually played two people - a male and a shemale) I can relate to many points made in this book, yes men really say those ridiculous lines (the author made an actual list of those lines - and I can raise my hand and vouch for him). Yes, we have to be ready for every single line thrown at us. He gets into some of the redundancy we hear, the constant "yes I am always horny" lines - which made me laugh because there is no way in the world that people are horny 24 hours a day/7 days a week, yet people choose to believe it. I think this book was heart felt and a very honest, realistic view from his perspective and a very enjoyable read. I would like to say though - one thing I didn't like was that he was very cynical about many points that I did not agree with. He laughed at these callers behind their backs (ok sometimes I do, depending on the content) but... he made a habit of doing this to even average nice callers who had off-the-wall fetishes. I think his unhappiness in his job showed as he wrote the book. He even admitted that he would write how he felt at the end of the call and actually type his comments into the book, which shows... because he uses a lot of sarcasm. This book is not an upbeat one. He is not excited about phone sex. Most of the time he is just waiting for the call to end so he can hang up the phone. Although his view on the industry does not necessarily reflect mine, I at least admire his honesty. I am sad to hear this author has passed away, I read the introduction about his tragic death. I recommend this book... not really sure who to recommend it to. Callers may not want to read it, because it may make them never want to call phone sex again. And fellow phone sex operators may not want to read it because it's almost a slightly depressing book. But I DO recommend it because - it is funny, it's realistic, it adds humor in the most off-the-wall topics... and simply because I never read a version of phone sex from the male's perspective. I give it five stars.
