Phil Toledano’s “Phone Sex: The Book” is a graphical exploration into the men and women behind the phone sex industry. Toledano interviewed and photographed thirty phone sex operators, peering into their lives and capturing the innocence behind something perceived as little more than smut. Toledano explains, “the caller agrees to pretend that he (or she) is calling a young, beautiful girl, and the phonesex operator willingly plays the part. Phonesex reveals the truth. It pulls back the veil to reveal the expected, and the unexpected, all at once.” Visit the Phone Sex website (safe for work) for vivid images and passages from the lives of the hidden phone sex operator.
