Photo Essay: Phone Sex Operators: Scheherazade. Photo 3 of 10

I'm 60 years old, I have a BA in cultural anthropology from Columbia University, and I've been married for 25 years.

I make twice the money I made in the corporate world.

I work from home; the money transfers into my bank account daily.

I'm Scheherazade: If I don't tell stories that fascinate the pasha, he will kill me in the morning.

There's something very erotic about this picture. She looks like a very sensual person. This sensuality is not affected by her age and in fact may be added to by her maturity.

This photo essay and book is such a load of crock. When is someone going to write a book exposing the ugly truths of this industry. They pay these people peanuts---literally pennies per minue to take call after call of weirdos and people who want to degrade women. They get paid according to how long they keep the wankers on the phone. And most guys want to jerk off in like one minute flat and say the most disguting things. There is nothing noble about phone sex industry.

She 48 and you 15? She is and was a pedophile and should be in jail. [deleted]

Former pso, at my job this summer I got paid $7.50 an hour, which translates into roughly 13 cents a minute. Unless you are working in a high level, selective, professional job, being paid "pennies per minute" is standard. That's not saying that there are some differences between working as a landscaper and as a phone sex operator, but your payment argument is weak.

The photograph reminds me of Ivan Albright's painting:
INTO THIS WORLD CAME A SOUL NAMED IDA.
