A lot of people watch porn if they want to add excitement to their solo (or partnered) sex lives. But not all arousal aids are visual. Written erotica used to be the main alternative to videos, but now, there’s another option: audio erotica.
Several erotic audio apps and sites now let you listen to erotic stories whenever (and wherever) you want. One major advantage to audio porn over visual porn or written erotica? No more balancing your computer on your lap, constantly scrolling down, or reading to take you out of the moment. Your whole body is free to do its thing.
1. Quinn
This newly launched site created by Caroline Spiegel, the sister of Snap CEO Evan Spiegel, provides not only audio erotica but also written erotic stories, so there’s literally something for every mood.
And if you want to get creative, you can also submit your own writing and voice recordings. The content is designed for women, providing an alternative to the patriarchal conventions of mainstream porn, which often only focus on the male gaze.
2. Dipsea
“For far too long, sexuality has been defined by men, as physical, rather than mental,” Dipsea’s creators, Gina Gutierrez and Faye Keegan, previously told East news. “And we’ve heard so many women question whether something is wrong with them because they don’t get spontaneously horny, or because things need to feel really right for them to access their sexual feelings.”
Enter Dipsea, an audio erotica app that helps you find the perfect story for each occasion and theme. You can select when you’re listening (“in bed,” “with your partner,” “before a date,” etc.) and what you want to get out of it (“get inspired for later,” “treat yourself”), and it will show you different options that match what you’re looking for.
3. Vibease Chat
The Vibease Chat app not only provides over 500 erotic audio stories, but also lets you and your partner engage in NSFW chats, and even allows your partner to control your sex toys remotely.
Vibease also creates a vibrator that buzzes in sync with the audiobooks, though you can also control it yourself if you prefer to be in the driver’s seat.
4. The Orgasm Sound Library
Ever wonder what other people sound like when they orgasm? Or just wanted to hear it for your own pleasure? The Orgasm Sound Library will fulfill both needs with snippets of sound recorded by people during their moments of bliss.
Whatever you hear on the site is “100% real” and “totally anonymous.” You can also upload your own orgasm audio if that strikes your fancy.
