Phone Sex Is on the Rise Amid the Pandemic

Today is a beautiful day to talk about the fact that I was right about phone sex. In the early days of the pandemic, back when we thought it would just be a few weeks, maybe a a two-month affair, I predicted a great phone sex renaissance was upon us.

Despite the skeptics who dismiss it as a dated relic of a bygone era of remote sex long since replaced by modern innovations like sexting and video sex, it turns out I was right. The demand for phone sex is on the rise, with phone-sex platform Niteflirt seeing a 10-percent increase in calls amid the pandemic, per The Cut.

Meanwhile, if demand is up, so is supply. Various forms of remote sex work have been on the rise in recent months as club closures and social-distancing guidelines have forced pros to take their work online, and out-of-work amateurs to flock to platforms like OnlyFans to make ends meet amid a time of financial strife. But online subscription platforms aren’t the only place seeing an uptick in new talent. According to The Cut, Niteflirt’s team of phone-sex operators has increased nearly 50 percent since mid-March.

The practice may provide a simpler alternative for sex workers than producing erotic content online, which can require a lot more time, energy, money and equipment than people sometimes assume. But phone-sex operators maintain there’s more to the gig than meets the eye.

“People think all you need is a nice voice and good moan, but that’s why the turnover rate is so high,” operator Cidney Green told The Cut. “If you don’t know the art of keeping a man on the phone, you’re gonna get hung up on all the time.”

Whether you’re seeking out the services of a professional trained in the fine art of audio-only sex or just giving your long-distance partner a ring, the great phone sex renaissance I foretold is upon us. Go forth and masturbate on the phone.
