I pride myself on my work and I think I can really bring a character alive, in most cases. You want to be dominated by a fiery red head in 5 inch heels? I am on it! Looking for that housewife who's secretly cheating on you and you wanna stroke to the tormenting ideas of all the nasty things she's doing and how much more she's enjoying it with the neighbor than with you? Bring it! Babysitter? Corporate slut? Dirty older sister? I can make it happen. But one character I regularly struggle with - Moms.
I get about 2 calls a month where the whisper message ( I answer the phone and hear a 1 sentence summary of what the caller is looking for. "you are an eager young college student with a tight teen pussy" or 'you have gigantic boobs. No smaller than FF's") saying "you are a stay at home mom in this, you are a MILF" and I tense up. What does that mean? If you wanted me to be your mom I could do that. Sweet - I give you some spankings for being a bad boy, you get turned on, I laugh at you and end up seducing you bla bla bla. But when the caller just wants A mom, what do they really want? So much of the opening of a call goes into saying what you were just doing. It sets your character. If I'm a college student I just got out of class. I'm a horny housewife I just did the laundry or got back from grocery shopping. It's obvious I'm filling that role you requested. No one wants to start talking for 10 minutes to some random girl who was just back from the gym and you thought she was the hot young college student and she later mentions that she just bought this house and got a great interest rate on it, or she just seduced her corporate boss. So lay it out early. Make it obvious what you are. But what does that mean for a stay at home mom?
My mom didn't stay at home and I don't have kids, so sadly all of my concepts about stay at home moms are from stereotypes in my mind. I stay at home, kids are running all over the house, I clean up messes non stop, I'm tired, I'm frustrated, I listen to kids shows all day long....where does the sexy phone sex image work into this? This is one area that I don't have any idea of any of the sexy stereotypes might go. Needless to say, my callers are usually quick to end the conversation.
On a side note- I also sometimes struggle with the giant boob calls. They are really rare to get, but when I imagine having amazingly large boobs all I catch myself thinking of is how many things in life would be different. Bra buying would be a struggle and everything would be specialty. I'd never want to lay on my stomach and I'm not even sure if I could wear a bikini or tank top. What are the rest of my proportions? If I'm 5'2, do my boobs go down to my knees? How far back do I have to have the seat of the car to fit them behind the steering wheel, but can my legs reach the pedals then? None of these thoughts help me bring a woman with state fair winning pumpkin sized breasts to life in a sexy manner either.
I just got done reading your article, and really enjoyed it, thank you. Here is a really fun book and audio that just came out about a real full time phone sex operator that wrote a book called: “Pillow Talk: A Glimpse Into the Calls to a Phone Sex Operator”.
