Book Description

March 1997
A rare, completely honest look behind the provocative advertisements and 970 prefixes that have come to symbolize an American obsession. Kathleen K. ran a phone sex company in the late '80s, and she opens up her diary for a very thought-provoking peek at the life of a phone sex operator and reveals a number of secrets and surprises. Because far from being a sleazy, underground scam, the service Kathleen provides goes straight to the heart of the American sexual zeitgeist. Transcripts of actual conversations are included.

Editorial Reviews

From Scientific American

If you enjoy eavesdropping on explicit conversations about sex...this book is for you.

From The New Yorker

This is definitely one of those rarefied sex-books that somehow blurs the line between fiction and fact and creates its own small genre.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, frank, and sexy!, April 1, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Sweet Talkers (Paperback)
A frank look at the phone sex industry, the author reveals the inner workings of the company she works for, and discusses why men call her service and what they talk about. She chronicles her phone conversations with her callers -- a lot of them are funny, but many more are sexy. A very interesting book about an industry that many are curious about.

5.0 out of 5 stars Words from the Mouth of a Pay-to-Say Girl, May 29, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
A note from the author:

Sweet Talkers is the true chronicle of a phone sex business, with training tips, verbatim dialogs (and monologs) of the fantasy world of tele-erotic talking. Crisp prose, sassy attitude, appreciation for the yearning of her callers to be HEARD.

Available as an on-line collectible, Sweet Talkers is a great bedside reader.
