Audio erotica is all the rage right now, and for good reason.
During lockdown, we’ve seen a massive increase in erotic media consumption across the board as people adapt to the sudden intimacy deficit caused by pandemic restrictions. From sex toys to ethical porn options, they’ve been looking for new and better ways to connect with themselves and their partners. This is also where erotic audio really took off.
We’re certainly not here to bash other forms of erotic entertainment. As long as it’s ethical, we’re all for it! And by now, you all know that we want you to explore and own your pleasure in whatever way feels best for you. That said, we know that not all erotic media options are enjoyed equally.
For many people, porn videos are their default choice, while others prefer to read a steamy read and flirt between the lines of the page. But what if you could have all the fun of a sensual fantasy on offer AND keep both hands free for some edgy play?
Especially if you already have a penchant for podcasts or audiobooks, audio erotica seems to be your next wild and sexy frontier in erotic entertainment. With this surge in popularity has come a huge influx of websites and apps dedicated specifically to the art and science of auditory sex. From guided erotic masturbation and intimate audio entertainment stories to masturbation recordings and sensual ASMR, there’s something for everyone.
What is audio erotica?
Audio erotica refers to any adult content in audio format that is created with the intention of arousing the listener. It can be stories told in a very steamy manner, ranging from sensual to sexually explicit, sometimes enhanced with sound effects and even, uh, suggestive noises.
The common thread here is that all you need are speakers or headphones and a little privacy to immerse yourself in the fantasy that’s playing out intimately between your ears. Just sit back, press play, and let your imagination—and your free hands—wander into the pleasure zone.
Here are some of the top reasons why we love it.
Leave something to the imagination
Without the visual cues, audio erotica is inherently less prescriptive than porn. Like reading a story, the listener has more opportunity to fill in the blanks: What do the characters look like? Are you one of them, or do you take them for a silent voyeur? It’s up to you. And there’s power in that freedom.
Stories are magical: they have the power to transport us in ways other media can’t. They help us escape the harshness of reality and encourage our imaginations to play. In erotic stories especially, there’s something special and important about being able to be so vulnerable and safe while exploring what feels good in our own bodies.
Improved accessibility
Anyone who has ever had to listen to a screen reader try to make porn knows that this bot is not sexy. Giving it that intimate touch of a real human voice telling the story enhances the experience for everyoneThe hands-free nature increases accessibility to erotica for a range of particular needs.
Take it with you wherever you go
For anyone who wants to live a little more daring life, why not take your O with you?
Getting in the mood doesn’t have to be a rush. You can take your time, sweetheart! You deserve it. And with audio stories, you don’t even have to wait until you’re home to start. On your commute, while you’re running errands… And no one needs to know how spicy things are getting between your ears.
Eliminate screen time, especially before bed
These days, too many of us spend our entire days in front of a screen. We take breaks by looking at other screens, and we relax by looking at one screen (often while at least one other is playing elsewhere in the room).
It’s good to give our poor fried retinas a little rest. Especially just before going to bed. Blue light from these screens can suppress melatonin production You need to relax your mind and prepare for sleep. And you know what else is great for relaxing and sleeping? That’s right: orgasms. Audio erotica will heat things up while your eyeballs cool down, which is a winning combo to send you off to dreamland.
And let’s be honest: who doesn’t like to be read a bedtime story?
