one of my friends used to do this job. when they lost the "bold and the beautiful" contract, they had to do porn. she said the boys quickly quit, as they got sick of having unwanted boners all day. the girls just got to recognise the porn stars, and fought over the ones that just moaned, so they could type "moaning" and be done. the talkers were left on the shelf for the latecomers.

I'm surprised by the guys reaction. I would have thought you'd get desensitised to it pretty quickly.

Indeed
most porn doesn't even stir up a semi these days. Over exposure.

I guess you find a dirty book a bigger hit these days?

actually come to think of it, this would have been about 1999, as she'd just left uni
so there wasn't the same degree of saturation, i'd have thought

i think it was a fairly transient job and people didn't stick around for too long anyway
