Did you ever see John Water’s film, Serial Mom? It’s one of our favorites, here at blurbberry. In it, Kathleen Turner plays this psycho crazy b***h mom, who kills people if they get in the way of her family’s well-being. It’s truly inspiring. Anyway, in the film, Turner gets immense enjoyment from pranking her neighbour. Watch the clip:

Turner’s character is not alone. While she does not seem to get off sexually from these phone calls, numerous people do attain great sexual pleasure from making prank calls.

Known as Telephone Scatalogia, this fetish involves obtaining sexual arousal and gratification by making obscene calls. Individuals don’t actually need to make the phone call, it seems; the fetish is also characterized by a recurrent, intense sexual urge or fantasy to make the obscene call.

Telephone scatalogia, or telephonicophilia, is theorized as a form of exhibitionism in some circles and an impulse control problem in others. Recipients of obscene calls may feel revolted, victimized, manipulated, or violated… which is what the caller is looking for, really. The scatalogist is usually aroused if the recipient expresses his or her feelings of fright, shock, or anger. If the caller does not think that the recipient is annoyed, then he or she may not call again. 

There are three types of obscene telephone calls. In the most common type, the caller may breathe heavily or describe sexual activities, particularly his masturbatory action, in explicit detail.

The second type of obscene call is one in which the caller threatens the listener and instructs him or her to undress, masturbate, or engage in some form of sexual behavior. One such case involved a Philadelphia-area man who was convicted of making hundreds of threatening obscene calls to women. He told each woman that he was holding her husband hostage, and to guarantee her husband’s safety, she must engage in sex with her children so the caller could listen.

In the third type of obscene call, the caller tries to convince the listener to reveal intimate details of his or her sexual behaviors, often stating that he is conducting a survey of sexual practices for an institute or university.

Often, regardless of the type of call, the caller may sound friendly or recognizable (as Turner does in Serial Mom), manipulating the recipient into responding or carrying on a conversation, before unleashing the sexually-inspired language. 

But, while the clip above and the idea of making prank calls might seem hilarious and kind of exciting, it is considered a criminal offense pretty much everywhere. Recipients of obscene calls are advised to simply hang up on obscene callers, and to report the incident to the telephone company and/or the police. Modern living has certainly cut into the practice, of course. As more households have Caller ID, the telephone scatalogist is limited to telephone booths, and prepaid cell phones.

A healthier form of telephone scatalogia, and one that will most probably not get anyone in trouble, is phone sex. Talking dirty and nasty to an obliging person on the other end can be an extremely great turn-on. You can have phone sex with your partner, meet someone online by specifying that you are looking to have phone sex, or, call up a phone sex service. Either way, phone sex can be HOT HOT HOT!!
