Photographic master Phillip Toledano has just dropped his latest project, titled Phone Sex. The project is actually a book (with previews available on its website) that chronicles an unsung class of sex-work heroes (wait, are there any sex workers that are sung?), the phone sex operators. Possibly one of the strangest of all human occupations is the person whom is called upon to help suspend belief for a fleeting fantastical flirtation (ALLITERATION FREAKOUT!). Each incredible photograph is accompanied by some glimpse into the world that each operator inhabits, from scat fetish to the deeper psychology of why their business even exists. I actually considered this as a job when I was broke in college, but then I realized that I hate talking on the phone. If there was a service that did sext-messaging, I could be their top earner in no time. “sext-messaging” is copyrighted, don’t go using that shit without asking me. Nah, it’s ok. I can’t contain that kind of genius anyway.
