The Top Sexual Audio, Erotica Apps, and Platforms for Your Listening Pleasure
What is sexual audio or audio erotica?
Audio erotica or audio porn is exactly what it sounds like, and it typically weaves in sensual storytelling that you listen to rather than watch or read. It’s made for those who are sexually aroused by sound—or what is known as auralism—and is “a legitimate sexual fetish,” Tatyannah King, a sex educator and sex coach, previously told Well+Good.
What are the benefits of listening to sexual audio erotica?
The pleasure potential of simply listening to risqué stories delivers, and it’s inclusive for folks of all genders and sexual orientations. While there are people who are enraptured by visuals, it can put a damper on your mood when who you see on the screen doesn’t reflect your own body and identity. Fortunately, a great strength of audio erotica apps and platforms is that they allow the user to gloriously fill in the blank spaces as they see fit, making for a fantasy in your ears.
Audio erotica can also make an ideal companion for moments of self-pleasure—which is, unto itself, an act of self-care—and while you might be keen on enjoying the sensual audio stories on your own (and the benefits of masturbation), erotic storytelling can also be a shared experience. Listening to audio erotica with a partner can spice up your sex life by sparking new ideas for sexual play and learning more about what turns your partner on, and vice-versa.
How to select an audio erotica app
There are many audio erotic apps and platforms online, but not all are made equal. Your ideal app will depend on what turns you on and whether you’re looking for narrative-driven erotica or ASMR sound clips that’ll help get you in the zone. While many focus around sexy auditory stimulus, you can also find options that take a more holistic approach to sexual health and include how-to tutorials and expert-driven advice baked into the app. Just keep in mind that these pleasurable add-ons will usually come at an additional cost.
Regardless of your preference, many of the best audio erotica apps, platforms, and podcasts available right now are helmed by folks with a vagina who center inclusive pleasure and sexual well-being as the crux of their goals. The scenarios and stories feature content by creators of all backgrounds and identities, making pleasure both inclusive and accessible. And, to be frank, the sexy voices featured certainly help.
Since so many different providers have gloriously been popping up in the space of audio erotica apps, check out the following suggestions that will make you want to press play immediately.
Top sexual audio or erotica apps and platforms for your listening pleasure
1. Dipsea
Dispea is an erotic storytelling platform that lets people pick their pleasure. With pairings like Her + Him, Her + Her, Them + Them, all identities are welcomed and celebrated, to titillating effect. It also offers a dedicated wellness section, complete with helpful how-to information, like how to orgasm without sex and ideas of — and guided fantasies.
2. Ferly
Ferly is a sexual-education platform that promotes more mindful and relaxed sexual experiences. Intimacy journaling is encouraged, an “explore” page offers a bevy of sexual wellness lessons, and overall, it asks that you slow down and enjoy the ride, with a quick-and-dirty stories section to warm you up. I consider Ferly a solid starter app if you’re still getting used to owning your sexuality.
3. &Jane
If you're someone who values authenticity in and out of (but especially in) the bedroom, you’re going to love &Jane. The just-launched audio erotica platform features a variety of storytellers sharing their personal experiences on a week-to-week basis. Furthermore, every subscription to &Jane includes a donation to the Woodhull Freedom Foundation, which is dedicated to affirming and protecting sexual freedom as a fundamental human right.
4. Kampsite
Kampsite is a companion to &Jane; it follows the same storytelling format relaying authentic experiences, but the focal point is on the experiences of gay men. Both platforms welcome listeners of all gender identities and sexual orientations.
5. Quinn
If dirty talk is a turn-on for you, I cannot recommend Quinn strongly enough. Most of the stories have a very concrete role-play feel. But, a word of warning on the user-experience front: The clips don’t always instantly play when you hit play, so perhaps try a different option if you’re feeling super-urgent in your quest for pleasure.
6. Emjoy
Emjoy is an audio-guided sexual-wellness app, with multi-session lessons focused on things like partner play and asking for what you want. And, yep, it offers a side dish of audio erotica for when you want to give yourself a gold star on a through-the-roof orgasm.
