Aural Pleasure with Audio Porn
Audio porn may just be the most underrated way of consuming your smut… but it won’t stay that way for long! With the rise in popularity of podcasts and ASMR and a greater focus on sexual wellness, the demand for sexy audio content is increasing. Get ready for a new wave of aural pleasure.
What is Audio Porn?
Audio porn is nothing new (hello, phone sex hotlines of the ‘80s), but – for the uninitiated – audio porn is exactly what it sounds like: adult content that you listen to, rather than watch. It offers a sexually explicit listening experience, usually involving steamy storytelling or guided masturbation tutorials, and comes complete with all the sexy sound effects you’d hear in porn, minus the visuals.
While conventional porn usually comes with graphic photos or videos, audio porn – or audio erotica – does away with visual stimulation completely. Instead, sultry voices lure users into a sensual aural experience where they’re free to fill in visual gaps with their own fantasies.
Why Explore Audio Porn?
Audio erotica leaves a little more to the imagination. It’s a similar experience to reading an erotic novel, but without the pages to turn so your hands are free for other things. And for those who have long been mesmerised by the therapeutic charm of ASMR, audio porn may be love at first sound.
Descriptive, imaginative, and sexy, audio porn targets your brain’s pleasure centre through voices. And those voices can be incredibly arousing.
Audio Porn Versus Visual Porn
There’s an obvious difference between audio and visual porn, and an increasing number of consumers – particularly women – are making the switch. So why is audio porn booming?
First off, audio porn is all about imagination. Rather than watching performers on a set as in visual porn, audio porn allows you to use your imagination to cast your scene — choosing the actors, outfits, and setting. That means every audio story you listen to will be your version of it because your own imagination designs it.
Listening, rather than watching, gives you creative control. That means you get to fill in the visuals and craft your own fantasy to go along with the words and sounds you’re hearing. You have the ability to picture the details in your mind, and change or embellish them as you wish according to your unique fantasies.
Second, many audio erotica fans suggest that listening to porn may help you feel more in the moment. Rather than watching video porn or reading erotica, audio porn lets you invest in the storyline without needing to hold or prop up a phone or computer or book.
Last, but no least, audio porn is being praised for its refreshing inclusivity when it comes to gender and body types. Unlike visual porn, there is no comparing your body with those of the actors on screen. And – because you’re not viewing images or potentially-triggering scenes – audio erotica lets you explore different desires or kinks safely and comfortably in a low-pressure way.
