Phone Sex

Phone sex is a phenomena that was developed in the 80's and 90's and phone sex was the precursor to internet porn when it came to convenient, accessible pornography. Phone sex operators are self describe fantasy makers that draw callers into a fantasy world as an escape from their reality. Whether it is a prerecorded message or a live operator, phone sex is a multi-million dollar industry that is just another form of pornography and therefore susceptible to being used compulsively by sex addicts. The use of phone sex can easily cause problems. Phone sex callers risk discovery and criticism from their employers, their spouses and run the risk of financial difficulties.

Phone sex is different from magazines or internet pictures in that it is creating the illusion of human contact through conversation. The sex object is brought to life in a sense and can be a strong reinforcement for some men that can lead to compulsive usage linked to sexual addiction. In the case of phone sex addiction, tension and anxiety is released by calling phone sex lines. Individuals with phone sex addiction are preoccupied with calling favorite operators or trying out new numbers. These obsessive thoughts often disrupt normal daily activities like work or family time. The behavior can become compulsive which means that phone sex users will continue to call despite increasing negative consequences to their relationships or financial security.

Sex addicts spend a lot of their time and resources looking for sexual gratification. Much like a drug user pursues his or her drug of choice, the sex addict is always looking for a fix. Common behaviors include sexualizing ordinary situations or conversations. Sex addiction has been compared to cocaine and amphetamine usage in that it triggers the same pleasure centers in the brain. Phone sex users seek the euphoria that comes with making the call and achieving gratification of any sort. When phone sex becomes an addiction, the users themselves are often the last to admit that there is a problem and tend to be in denial and rationalize their phone sex habit by making various excuses. These problems get worse, however, because like all addictions, phone sex addiction is progressive and can lead to other abuses and more punitive consequences.
