text: what happens when you call a 1-900 sex hotline? my boyfriend's sister told me he used to call them all the time and i am just curious as to what they say to you. i just don't get the excitement, why not just watch a porn? the appeal of these numbers over porn is you are interacting with a live person. now granted, you can't see the person and she may weigh 400 lbs. or may even be a man. yikes  but most men have a vivid imagination and to them they are speaking to a beautiful woman who is going to fullfill a fantasy.
