In my Power and Sexuality class, I sometimes assign articles from a book called Whores and Other Feminists. All of the essays are written by current and former sex workers who identify as feminist. It’s pretty fascinating.

So some of the phone sex operators talk about what they do while having “phone sex,” like chores and booking airline tickets and whathaveyou. It really demystifies the industry.

As do these photographs by Phillip Toledano, sent in by Phillip B. Below the jump (because NSFW), I intersperse screen shots from phone sex websites with his photographs of real sex phone operators.
