Book Description:
My name is Cat and I am one sexy, stylin’ lady who just so happens to be a phone sex operator, or as I like to say, conversation specialist. LOL! Now don’t go dissing me until you hear my story, because it’s a good one. I have been an operator for years, and feel it’s my job to make my clients comfortable when talking to me about their fetishes; and trust me, they can get weird. Most clients have your typical fascination with role-play and bondage, but some are really out there. Regardless of the scenario I have to maintain my professionalism. Don’t worry, I won’t get into all the nitty gritty, but I gotta do my job to make ends meet.
Especially after my sister Landa, the ho, disappears and dumps her four multicolored kids on me, indefinitely. Ronny is the oldest and he is afraid of his own shadow half the time. Michelle, or as I like to call her, Miss Thang, is a sassy, chubby, pre-teen who is always in the pantry. Zoe, falls somewhere in between and half the time you wouldn’t know she was there. Then there is the baby, Jesse, who is sort of caramel colored. He is a cutie pie but he has a dairy problem and it is rank. I didn’t sign up for this, but I admit the kids are growing on me.
In the meantime, I admit, I get lonely without a man. One of my clients, Dale, has been with me for four years. He is your basic nerdy type who has probably never been laid, but there is something about him I like. Most of the time we just talk during our conversations, but he is ready to meet in person and take things to the next level. I am confident in who I am, given my larger than average size, but I am still not sure I am up for a face-to-face with Dale. Then there is Ed, now he is HOT. Alright so he is married and has kids, big whoop, he stirs something in me and we have crossed the line from associates to lovers.
Suddenly I have gone from being a lonely operator to a woman with two men knocking at my door, literally.
Excerpt:
My name is Cat.
No, it isn’t short for Catherine or Catrina. It’s just plain old Cat, as in
meow. Don’t ask me what my mother was thinking when she named me. Apparently
during her labor she lost her mind. What I can tell you is that I took some
serious hazing for my name growing up; you can only imagine the pussy
references I endured. Good Lord. The other thing I will share is that I am a
natural red head. Not that bright Ronald McDonald fresh-from-the-box shade of
red, but a nice deep red bordering on auburn. Also, my hair is nice and thick,
just like the rest of me. I am a plus size, juicy, stylin’ woman with a deep,
sexy voice and get this folks; I get paid to have phone sex with your man. You
heard me right, but in case it went in one ear and out the other the first
time, I will repeat it. I am a phone sex operator, or as I like to think, a
conversation specialist. Men, and occasionally women, from all over the world
pay the big bucks to listen to me purr and moan. It’s a tough life, but
somebody’s got to do it. I’m not being coy when I say that. Well, maybe I am a
teeny bit.
I refer to the
individuals who pay to listen to my sexy voice as my ‘clients’, although
sometimes I think of them as my secret lovers. To call them my clients sounds
more sophisticated and reminds me that what we have is a business relationship.
It’s a given that the majority of my clients have crazy sexual fetishes,
however, with me they have the opportunity to live out their fantasies in a
judgment-free zone. I ain’t gonna lie, it can get weird, I mean you can only
imagine my clientele, right? I roll with it though, and think of it like being
an actress. I got a role to play and hell, I don’t actually meet the men in
real life. Don’t get me wrong, we have a personal relationship. We get to know
each other as we chat, but we do it all on the phone or online. The World Wide
Web has changed my life. It has allowed me to create a business plan that I can
execute right from the comfort of my kitchen. This byatch right here is on
fire, so look out.
Let me explain
the details of my job. I have a website called “Listen to the Kitty Purr”. I am
an excellent graphic designer and I am all over social media. I have a Facebook
page, Twitter account, Instagram, and even an old MySpace account that I keep
active. I am up to fourteen thousand likes on my website for crying out loud. You’d
be surprised how many followers I have on my blog and how many questions I get
from other women who want to go into business for themselves and make money
doing what I do. I have an image of a kitten on my home page, but when you
scroll over her with your cursor, my image shows up in its place. I don’t show
too much, just my cleavage and the tattoo of a red rose on my right shoulder. I
leave the rest up to the client’s imagination, I am not a prostitute for Christ
sakes. And for crying out loud I am NOT a lesbian. (Not that there’s anything
wrong with that.) But geeze Louise, let it go already.
I have paid
advertisements in all the usual places. My phone number and website information
can be found on porn site ads as well as the back of magazines. I pay hefty
advertising fees for these, but it’s always worth it. So is having a land line
so I don’t drop calls or get interrupted.
On my website I
have an outline explaining how my program works. If a person reads, and then
agrees to both my terms and prices, they can contact me. I work by appointment
only and get paid up front (I learned that the hard way), and find PayPal is
the best and easiest service out there. My clients range from the anxious nerdy
types to the overachievers. I have had government officials, schoolteachers,
counselors, firemen, and even stay-at-home moms contact me.
Once I have been
contacted, I do a quick background check on my client. Safety first. If they
don’t have any arrests, I get started. You are probably wondering what sets me
apart from other phone sex operators. In other words, why would your average
Joe call me and bother with terms, when he can pick up the phone and dial Dolly
from Lusty Lines without any bologna? The bottom line is that what I offer is
more than just a one time rodeo. I am always available to my caller, so as we
get to know one another, over time, our conversations become even more
satisfactory.
Most of my
competitors work for companies that employ dozens of people who answer phones
and entertain their clients. If a client has a really good time with a
particular operator and wants to get them again for a future call, chances are
slim to none. Operators with made up names like Candy and Mindy are
incentivized with bonuses to engage up to twenty clients per hour. I know, it’s
crazy, right? I guess they work under the premise that the caller is already
worked up and rarin’ to go when they phone in; so the average call is only
three to six minutes long. I, however, stretch out my calls and enthrall the
client to ensure he calls back, and he always does. I charge twenty dollars for
the first two minutes and two dollars a minute after that. If I do things
right, I can earn up to seventy-six dollars per half hour. That’s on the high
end, but still it’s not too shabby especially when you compare it to the
minimum wage my competitors are collecting.
I don’t
negotiate my price. I do, however, negotiate what topics we can discuss and
what type of play is allowed. I have to be very firm about this at the
beginning of our call so that future calls go well. I am a businesswoman first
and foremost. The raunchier and more outlandish the client’s tastes, the higher
the rate. For instance, if a client is into listening to me tinkle, then I
maintain my sense of humor and professional status while I engage their fantasy
and charge them double. If I can’t laugh at this then I am in the wrong
business. I draw the line at bestiality, satanism, or anything involving kids
or incest. I am not into that stuff and don’t want to pretend to be. Most
clients have the basic foot fetish, bondage fetish, or shower fetish that are
pretty run of the mill. I have studied up on all the possible topics by reading
erotica and doing web searches so I am pretty well versed in all areas. I even
have a client that prefers I speak in an English accent. I am happy to oblige
him as it’s a fairly easy accent to mimic. Once a client asked me to speak
Chinese, well let’s just say that was a debacle because I laughed the whole
time.
I divide my
callers into three categories, four if you count the newbies or one timers.
First, I have “clean” callers that prefer I don’t use foul language or talk
dirty. They like a sweeter more wholesome experience and I give it to them.
Second, I have “dirty” callers that like profanity and hot sex, usually
involving toys or bondage. Third are the “dangerous” callers. These are the
clients that want to know all about me. They want to know everything from my
favorite foods, to how I dress, where I live, and what my family is like. Sometimes
they ask if I have kids or pets, which are indicators of a clientele I probably
don’t want to be talking to. If I ever have to cut anyone off, it’s usually
from this list.
My busiest days
of the year are Christmas and Valentine’s day when guys are feeling lonely and
vulnerable and in need of company. My slowest day is Super-bowl Sunday.
Otherwise I maintain a fairly steady stream of callers from ten a.m. to
midnight. Anyone that calls after hours without an appointment and wakes me up
gets charged double.
I keep a
thesaurus on my counter at all times in case I run out of words for “baby” or
to describe certain parts of the anatomy, believe me there are only so many
times you can use the same word over and over again in a fifteen minute
appointment. I usually dress up for my appointments as well. It’s true I could
talk to my clients while wearing sweat pants and they would never know the
difference, but I feel sexier if I am dressed to the nines and that comes
across in the call.
I also keep
lozenges on hand at all times, that and water bottles or hot tea with honey. I
do A LOT of talking and my throat gets dry fast.
Another way to
make bank is through merchandising. I have an extensive list of items that are
for sale, including stockings, garter belts, perfumes, and undergarments among
other things. You would not believe how many people ask for these items. I
should buy stock at Victoria’s Secret! I stock up on the sales, which are
usually five pairs of undies for twenty dollars, and then I double the cost for
a client, plus shipping.
I earn every
penny the hard way, get it? The “hard” way, God, I crack myself up. I build
relationships with my clients and strive to keep it real. Not all our
conversations are about sex, sometimes the men are lonely or just need to vent
about their wives. That’s where the professional conversationalist part comes
in handy. Sometimes I am more therapist than phone operator, and I take this
role very seriously. I always want to help my clients if they are struggling. I
also want to provide a safe haven for them, a place that they can share secret
thoughts without feeling ashamed.
The work is
interesting and I learn as I go. I don’t Skype with clients, but I do instant
message in real time. I used to record myself moaning and groaning and just
press play when a client needed a quick release, but one time a client shared
the feed and I had to threaten the bastard with breach of contract and a court
date. I like real time interactions better anyway because we can hear each
other and really connect. I know when someone is engaged or distracted based on
his or her voice. This makes it better for business.fe
Some of the men
get excited before I even start talking dirty. I talk to them about everyday
things while we chat and ‘get to know each other’. I tell them I am making
waffles with whipped cream and strawberries to give them a visual, and let them
picture me however they want. They might ask what I look like, and my classic
response is, “what do you want me to look like?” I take his or her response and
build it up. I start out pretty perky and ask all kinds of questions. I praise
a man at every turn and build his ego, priming him for future phone calls. At
this point of the phone call, or online chat, he thinks he is the one in control.
I let him go on thinking that, it’s all part of my plan.
