Some good ol’ fashioned fun. And it’s still big business. Just ask dad.

You may not know it because you’ve been using tinder to get laid and it’s working like magic, but before you got your jollies via image, people used to get turned on just by THE SOUND OF THE HUMAN VOICE. Here’s the thing – this is still a multi-million dollar business, just no ones talking about it. So, before you embarrass your mom and dad with questions about how they masturbate, catch up on the facts and figures here.

Why Phone Dating?

Connecting with people over the phone is a timeless, tried and true way to reinvigorate your ogre porn-fueled sex life. In the age of HD video and interactive text chat, we can easily lose the intimacy associated with speaking to another person about your innermost desires and deepest passions. For real. If you’ve ever tugged while talking to your lady while on vacation, you know that the right idea firmly planted in your head can be a very intimate experience. Now, take this to the next level with some friends (or pros) who do this all the time. Better yet, if they are a stranger, which they always are, the shame factor goes to zero.

How Does It Work?

Phone chat comes in a couple different shapes and sizes, so it’s good to be aware of your options so that you can get exactly what you’re looking for. There are generally two types of chat lines. The first, adult chat, works by connecting callers in one-on-one conversations with the type of person they seek. Some chat lines give callers the option to select a partner from a series of pre-recorded ‘audio profiles’. Once two people select each other’s profiles, they will be connected and can get to know each other over the phone. There are lines for all kinds of experiences depending on what you are into. You can speak to women and men of all ethnicities, gender and sexual orientations. You can also call based on fantasies and desires.

The Many Benefits of Phone Dating

Chatting over the phone emphasizes talking over other forms of expression, improving verbal communication, which is crucial to connecting to people on a deep level. For people in relationships, developing your communication skills in romantic settings is central to being a good lover and partner. For singles, phone chat lines are a great way to learn to talk to other singles, which is often the first step in dating and getting into a new relationship. Furthermore, phone chat teaches listening, which is the most important element of effective communication.

A phone call is a great way to meet new people and start new relationships. Phone calls place us on equal footing. There are no physical characteristics by which to judge each other. Phone chat removes a layer of superficiality. We focus on the sound of each other’s voice, on what we’re saying. Even older relationships benefit from phone calls. People who have been in long distance relationships often have better communication skills and a deeper sense of each other’s inner thoughts.

Lastly, phone chat helps develop, and improves, sexual creativity. Honesty and exploration are key to delving into your innermost passions and desires. The anonymity and privacy of phone chat is the perfect medium through which to explore your innermost thoughts and desires. It’s through this topic that true character and chemistry is revealed.
