I think, like me, you're from the UK? Most HN readers are American and different cultures usually have different senses of humor and taboos.

Doing sex phone work is a bit "ooh, naughty" here but as a topic for general conversation is far less offensive than in the US. We even get light hearted documentaries about sex phone operators on TV (http://steverogerson.suite101.com/my-phone-sex-secrets-chann...) featuring students and grannies who've decided to give it a crack to earn a few quid, but when set amongst US norms your suggestion is barely better than suggesting she walk the streets.

tl;dr - When in Rome..

While I appreciate cultural differences, especially with our brothers across the pond, on HN it's just noise, not signal, no matter where you're from. Plenty of lad mags and subreddits for that stuff, but it just clogs up the bitstream here.
