The Fantasy Factory explores the world of women on the other end of
the phone sex lines advertised in magazines like Playboy and
Hustler. The author's interviews with these women, as well as her
own first-hand experiences as an operator, reveal the complex ways
operators and callers negotiate the shifting borders between desire
and disgust, fantasy and reality, deception and belief. The Fantasy
Factory raises provocative questions about the manufacture of
artificial intimacy and the technological mediation of intimacy, as
well as about the social construction of sexuality and gender.
Flowers discovers that operators-who assume names like Tiffany and
Corvette-create a virtual reality in which callers can act out
fantasies that operators may find boring, disgusting, or even
frightening. She also discovers that even those women who are
skilled at keeping their "true self" and their phone sex persona
separate find that they have to struggle to protect that self and
to maintain the ability to experience real intimacy.
