This book chronicles the "adventures" of a woman who decides to earn extra money by doing phone sex. Having known a couple women who did this type of work at one time, it gave me a better idea of what kinds of clients they get along with their fantasies, which run the gamut from good old fashioned to BDSM to the unusual. The men the author deals with also range from "nice guys" to those trying to get away with a "free call" to those with disturbing fantasies, and even "first timer callers." Quite a fascinating cross-section of folk.

The author also has chapters on role playing for lovers wanting to try their own form of this play and if you want to try it, tips on what to do and what not to do. I liked how the author pointed out that phone sex is sex, even if it may not be the "traditional" form we all love. And as the author points out, it is the ultimate in safe play.

This book offers a fascinating look into this fascinating "world," and those who are "phone sex operators" and their clients.

All kinds of readers will be glad they've read *Phone Sex* by phone sex worker Miranda Austin. Want to try your own hand (voice?) at the job? This book will tell you how.

Always wanted some hot-and-kinky-and-twisted-and-downright-weird sex, but so far haven't had the nerve to try? This book will tell you how to take one safe, easy step by sharing your fantasy with a phone sex worker.

Want to use phone play to spice up the sexual life of you and your partner, whether long-distance or in the same house? This book will tell you how.

But in spite of the solid information, the happiest readers who will read *Phone Sex* will be those readers who enjoy funny, sexy, thoughtful writing. This book is a page-turning pleasure written by a woman with a pitch-perfect ear for both dialogue and absurdity. Of even more significance is Ms. Austin's blend of tolerance and self-knowledge, a blend that makes the book as thought-provoking as it is amusing and informative. A keeper, and an auspicious debut for a sexy new writer.

As a phone kitten - I definitely have to say that this book is right on!

I have to say I was nervous when I received this book - as most books make us girls look so freaking sad - this book seemed to celebrate phone girls, and the job!

And the part about the guy who fantasizes about the Author dumping him for a guy with monsterous biceps? I talk to him al the time! LMAO...

Way to go Miranda!

I wish I had this book when I was working for the Human Sexuality Studies Department at San Francisco State. It is rare for someone to be that likeable and amusing while conveying so much good information. If you've ever wondered about phone sex, you should read this book.

Do not, however, attempt to read this near someone who is trying to sleep. You will probably wake them up; either you will laugh too loud (and wake them up) or you will succumb to the desire to read them "just this little bit! Really!" and wake them on purpose.

You've never read anything quite like this before. Part insider's guide to being a "phone sex girl" and part "aural sex" guide for lovers - this book combines the two sensibilities. Ms. Austin's insights as an intelligent, witty woman observing herself as a phone sex girl are not only fascinating and funny - but are sure to inspire the next phone call you have with your partner.

This is phone sex as you've never thought of it before. It trashes the idea of a bored housewife doing her nails during calls - instead it shows a thoughtful observer developing her persona, her style and learning the ropes of phone sex. Her callers become real to her and to us, and you alternately sigh and giggle about how wide the world of sex really is. You'll hear about more unusual fantasies than you are able to imagine - but that is one of the books virtues: it can help you expand your definition of sexy. Maybe it will help you feel more comfortable talking about your own secret desires, either to your partner or your local phone sex girl. If many of them are offering Ms. Austin's sort of kind, sex-laced acceptance - I'm not surprised that the industry is growing (talk about the ultimate safe sex !)

The writing is funny, the topic is sexy and slightly taboo, the author's point of view is fascinating and definitely worth your while. I highly recommend it.

If you've ever wondered about the real world of phone sex operators and callers, this is a book for you.

Miranda Austin gives the reader a wonderful voyeuristic peek at a profession most of us know little about. And even better...she does so with intelligence, humor and a keen eye for details. Whether you'd like to be a phone sex operator, or are just curious about what they do, this book is a terrific read.

Ms. Austin shares the often peculiar details of human sexuality (her own as well as her callers'). I now have a good understanding of why someone would pay for phone sex and the mechanics of how the business works.

But the best part of the book is Ms. Austin's infectious enthusiasm for her profession and her amusing, sexy, compassionate and often bizzare view of her clients.

Rarely have I read something that turned me on, made me laugh and educated me at the same time. This book, in my opinion, is a wonderful and entertaining contribution to the knowledge of sexuality.

very helpful, gives you a head start on the the phone sex buisness, helps you come up with ideas on topics to talk about.

Ms. Austin is a delightful new voice in the realm of kink journalism. She opens the door to a world most of us haven't explored before and she does it with the skill of a real pro. Her book is both expose' and homage, as she shares personal anecdotes, hilarious accounts and even some scary and painful experiences. She writes in a chatty 'girl-talk' style that makes you feel right at home in her world, even if you are in unfamiliar territory. She has a wicked sense of humour, but also compassion for the clients whose stories she tells. It's a raw, no-frills, straightforward bit of reporting with a human angle you don't often find in books of this nature. She approaches her edgy subject matter with an unflinching and non-judgmental attitude and she never shies away from her material, no matter how non-PC it may be at times. Such frankness and brutal honesty is refreshing and I read the book in one sitting. My only complaint is that she ends it too abruptly. A final 'farewell' chapter would have been welcome, but hey - I guess she's earned the right to be the one to hang up without saying goodbye for a change. <eg> 'Phone Sex' is deliciously decadent and always engaging. I'd recommend it to anyone - kinky or vanilla. I might even recommend it to my mom...

I have always been curious about the phone sex industry and am considering doing it myself while trying to get through college. Thought I would read this book for an insight into the industry....Well that is just what I got. This book is Hilarious and gives some great tips! Only reason I left off one star was because I didn't like the way it ended....Could have been much better...Overall it is surely worth reading!

I've read loads of books on the sex industry and have to say this is one of the best I've read! Entertaining and informative, Austin also offers info on how to get yourself established and what to expect if you're interested in being a phone sex operator. If nothing else, I'd recommend this book just for the giggles she elicited when I read the stories about her callers!
