A few comments.  

1. Since I know what most phone sex girls do while their phone sexing, I would never pay for it. I used to date a girl who used to get paid to do phone sex, and I literally LOL watching her fold laundry while she's telling some guy how she was rubbing her pussy. Most of the time the only time any of her customers got lucky is when we would fuck her during calls. Then I would get on the phone and tell them how hard i was fucking her. I miss those days lol

2. With skype and vid cams I don't understand why someone would pay when they can't see the girl or what she's doing...so if I was going to pay for anything it would have to be something with a vid cam.

3. There are plenty of younger dudes that will probably still pay for this, but anyone who's been laid enough or hobbies I doubt would pay. Plus let's face it, free porn is king now with the internet.

As for the conversational chat with providers it depends what you're talking about. 5 min call? 30 min call? I don't typically have conversational calls with providers but something about this makes me feel like I'm being milked a bit too much. If I have to pay for a regular conversation with a provider I'm really in a bad space in my life lol.

pay to talk to girls LOL hun most of us arent retarted .

a talk line lol .. how about someone makes an app for phones of a girl and it talks dirty to you. knda like the girlfriend that always says yes ...  

to a provider especially before a meeting. I prefer to email before meeting. As far as missing a fav, and wanting to speak to her, honestly I don't like to waste anyone's time, so when I call it's to make an appointment.  

I have no problem with a gal who wants to offer chat services but I simply have no interest in them. (But I bet a certain deranged member here might! LMAO!)

what started out as naughty and flirty messages and ended up being raunchy and very sexually explicit messages in anticipation of an impending fuck meet, a few years ago.

But I did not pay for it. I just paid for the session. It was with someone I had seen many times before and who ended up becoming a good friend.

I will stress though, that the communication has to be solid and if one decides to do this. One should pay the fees (although paying for something like this is lame in my opinion). One also has to make sure that there is trust between two parties and such texts and emails are not perceived as harassment.

I think it's great if you are into it...

and can make a little coin with it.

I don't think I'd ever pay for that, though. Honestly, I'd rather have a sexting or sexy email/PM exchange. There is no shortage of that available for free; there are entire websites devoted to it.

Since I have spent time with him I am very open to accommodate......but if I had a choice I would rather spend my time one on one......

The most successful PSOs are dommes, and the men that call in the most tend to be disabled, or have fantasies they want to explore but wouldn't act out, i.e. rape fantasies, extreme domination, scat, etc. It's not just talking about sucking your dick most of the time.

My best friend makes tons of money from nite flirt.
She also does videos.
So either everyone here is lying to try to keep their man card or you're getting PMs from the ones who don't feel the need to impress he other people on TER.

With a couple of my regular friends, we will occasionally text, email, or even have a real live phone call from time to time--often just to set up our next date, or general "Hi, howya doing," kinds of things.

One of my regular friends once suggested some naughty Skype-ing, and the idea creeped me out for some reason.  Y'know, just like how some providers run into boundary issues with clingly clients; this seemed like a boundary issue thing also--now the provider would be seeing me in my home, with my business in one hand, and lube in the other--it seemed like I'd be the one "revealing too much" in that scenario (besides, I already had been engaging in a fair amount of ongoing OTC texting, emailing and phone conversations with this friend--no reason to stir the pot by figuring out which portions of our phone time would be "billable").

Yes, I have called phone sex services on rare occasion.  But I'd rather just stay in total fantasyland there and believe that the sexy girl I'm talking to is the one whose picture I see on the website, so I generally do audio only--besides, every time I think maybe I'll take the plunge and try NiteFlirt, I get so frustrated with the process of "opening an account" (or whatever they call it), that I can't be bothered to follow through.

So there you go:  My vote is for keeping (how's this for an oxymoron?) "real-life fantasy", where I actually meet and have fun with a lady in person, separate and distinct from "fantasy fantasy" where some girl I've never met and never will and I spin some fantasies together.

For a bonus question:  Has any guy on here ever managed to actually meet a phone sex girl IRL, after first "meeting" on a phone sex service?  There's one really charming and sexy lady I speak with once every six months or so, and I always put it out there, that I wouldn't mind meeting her IRL--no dice, unfortunately.  But that would be a story I'd love to hear about...
