What is Audio Porn, Why Is It So Great & Where Do I Find It?

The used panty marketplace

“How does that feel against your pussy, baby?” 

I take my headphones off and set them on the table. I can feel the redness in my cheeks and the butterflies in my stomach...my heart is definitely pounding a lot faster than it was 2 minutes and 29 seconds ago. I take a breath and can’t help but let out a little chuckle. 

That was insanely hot. 

As I hit the “bookmark” button on what is now my go-to audio porn website, I can’t help but think - why aren’t more people talking about this!? When you’re in the mood and it comes time to browse, most people click on the first visually appealing thing that catches their eye on their favorite porn website. 

But whatever you’re into, there’s likely an audio file for it somewhere on the internet. The thing is - not many people think to search “audio porn.”

In fact, I was shocked at how little information is available about audio-only porn - especially when 2019 has been such a great year for the audio porn industry. Just this year, audio erotica startup companies have collectively raised over $8 million dollars for their businesses. Many of the websites we’re going to talk about in this post have actually launched (or relaunched) within the last few years.

I’m telling you - this is a great time for erotic audio, and after listening to a few steamy clips...I totally understand why.

What is Audio Porn & Why Is It So Great? 

Audio porn can mean a variety of different things - but mostly it’s what it sounds like: porn that you listen to but don’t look at. Audio porn can be anything: an audio clip of a couple having sex, a voice clip of someone dirty talking or masturbating, it can be longer erotic narratives...it can even be ASMR. 

Porn without video that relies solely on your sense of hearing (and your imagination) can be great for a few reasons.

Maybe you’re someone who loves dirty talk. 

Maybe you get that sensual kind of tingle when you listen to certain ASMR channels or you find the sexiest part of visual porn to be the sensual moaning and the sound of someone reaching their climax

If any of this sounds like you, audio porn might be something worth listening to.

What are some of the other reasons people listen to audio porn instead of watching porn videos? 

You Can Create Your Own Fantasy

Audio porn is particularly useful if you’re someone who has a very particular taste in what turns them on (like me). I’ve struggled for a long time to find a genre of porn that really works for me. What I like isn’t anything super crazy (well, I guess that depends on your definition of crazy…) - but when it comes to porn, I find that my desires are a little too specific.

Even if you’re someone who has found what they want - maybe it doesn’t quite fit your fantasies the way you’d hoped. I know there’s a lot of porn out there - but finding something that is exactly what you’re looking for can be difficult! 

This is why I’ve found audio porn to be so great - because the sounds are there to guide my imagination into creating the perfect scenario that arouses me in ways visual porn hasn’t been able to. 

With audio porn, you can create any kind of fantasy you want. 

There is Some Context Given, So You’re Not Searching in The Dark

While porn clips usually have names like “fitness model gets tied up and f*cked by her trainer” - audio porn leaves a bit more to the imagination, while still giving you a bit of a hint of what’s going on in the clip. 

Some popular titles you might find on an audio porn site would include things like: “please don’t stop”, “french guy moaning” or “masturbating cutie”. These types of titles leave a little something up to the imagination but are descriptive enough that you know what you’re getting into before you hit play. 

It Can Be More Intimate Than Visual Porn

The beauty of audio-only porn is that you’re not watching some fitness trainer having raunchy, hardcore, extremely unrealistic sex with a model in a gym that is conveniently not full of sweaty people. While there are plenty of amateur porn videos for those who are looking for a more realistic and personal touch, nothing is quite as intimate as audio porn. 

You can retreat into your own little world, having the privacy and space to go wherever your mind takes you. There’s something really intimate and personal about putting on some headphones, closing your eyes and letting your hands go wherever they want on your body. 

Women Love Erotic Audio

While many women love visual porn, and many men love listening to audio porn - the audio porn industry is being largely headed by women. Why? Because women are great at creating fantasy and bringing it to life. Audio porn website Dipsea (which we will talk about in more detail later) was inspired by a study done by PubMed that showed up to 90% of women use their imagination to get into the mood. 

Take Caroline Spiegel, for example. Caroline launched Quinn (an audio porn platform) after struggling for years with sexual dysfunction that stemmed from an eating disorder. She wanted to find resources beyond mainstream visual porn and vibrators. 

And she isn’t the only one…

Gina Gutierrez and Faye Keegan geared up to launch Dipsea in this past year (2019), which includes all kinds of audio porn content that are categorized for easy browsing - queer, hetero, group sex - along with different “heat” levels. 

This kind of category system can be found on visual porn sites like XHamster, but when you’re just trying something on, listening to an audio track can feel more comfortable than watching a graphic video. 

Self-Exploration in a Safe Space

The goal of popular erotic audio site Dipsea (and many other audio porn websites) was to provide a safe space for people to explore the things they like, without being confronted with graphic images that are often thumbnails for mainstream visual porn. 

Diving into a new kink or exploring your sexuality in a way you have never experienced before can be really overwhelming, and approaching these things with discretion and care is important in allowing people to safely express who they really are and what they really want.

Audio porn is also really great for transgender individuals or people who feel that their gender doesn’t match who they are because there is a lot left up to the imagination and gender roles are more fluid when things are left up to the imagination. 

Erotic Audio Isn’t Just About Porn

The world of erotic audio isn’t just limited to porn - you can also enjoy erotic podcasts

Some are designed to turn you on and help you get you where you need to go - and others (like our very own Sofia Gray Show Podcast) are meant to inform and educate you on the world of kinks and fetishes. This kind of open, real and intimate talk about sexuality is so beneficial in accepting who we are and what we like. 

Where Do I Find Audio Porn? 

When it comes to audio-only porn, it may not be as readily available as mainstream visual porn is (yet) - but it’s not that difficult to find, either! 

While you are able to search for audio clips on ordinary porn sites like PornHub, there are plenty of sites dedicated to audio-only porn.

Sofia Sins

Okay, we’re a little biased here, but hear us out! Sofia Gray has launched its own audio porn platform - Sofia Sins. All of our stories are professionally recorded by our amazingly talented voice artists, and written by the most erotic minds in the business. We like to say our audio sex stories will transport you to a world of sin.

Sofia Sins has a number of steamy categories, with stories voiced from artists of all ages, genders and accents. If all of that wasn’t enough, we have new stories being uploaded each week.

The Upside…

Sofia Sins has added a unique twist to the world of audio erotica, it allows you to listen to each perspective in the sexual encounter. You get to delve into the sensations of both people involved, experiencing both the giving and receiving of the most forbidden pleasures

The Downside…

Unfortunately, Sofia Sins isn’t a completely free platform. To ensure we can keep putting out fresh and unique audio porn for our listeners, we charge a small subscription of $4.99 a month (which you can cancel at any time). But if you can’t commit to that just yet, don’t fret, you can take advantage of our 7 day free trial and listen to as much of our content as you like!

Quinn 

Quinn is a platform for erotic recordings of intimate moments...think Spotify, but for audio erotica. As with any platform, the content on Quinn varies quite a bit. 

Some of the audio clips are made by amateurs who just want to submit their clips anonymously - which I personally think is a great alternative for those not ready to dive into the mainstream amateur porn business

Others, though, are people who create erotic content for a living. Anyone (and everyone) can upload to the site, as long as the content follows Quinn guidelines. With so much content that can range from naughty schoolgirl roleplay to intimate couples having sex in their home - Quinn has a little something for everyone.

The Upside...

I love sites like this that allow real people to upload. While listening to a porn actress get herself off can be crazy hot, there is something different about listening to a guy talking to you like a normal person. 

I also love how you can bookmark favorites for later and many of the users on the platform offer a comments section where you can request certain scenarios or clips for them to do. This kind of “interactive” audio porn, where you can tell them what you want to hear is insanely hot.

The Downside…

The search bar for this site is a bit limited, meaning if you’re wanting to search for something specific, you can’t. Quinn seems to work best with more broad terms such as “bad boy”, “male voice”, “dirty talk”...things like that. While this is great for perusing and finding new things, sometimes you’re just in the mood to find a specific thing that you know is going to get you off.

This guy is really good at this audio porn thing...you’re immediately put into this steamy scenario and you love every minute of it. 

Dipsea

Dipsea wants you to feel more alive, to understand yourself better, to unlock confidence you never knew you had and most importantly, to be able to tap into those feelings whenever you please. 

This isn’t just a platform - it’s also an app! If you’re a subscriber to Dipsea, you can get exclusive audio tracks that can’t be found anywhere else, completely ad-free listening time and a wider range of topics to choose from. 

The Upside…

I absolutely love the way this platform was created. 

More specifically, I love how user-friendly it is and how easy it is to find what you’re looking for. You can search for various stories under the categories of “her and her”, “her and him” or “her and them” - and then you can choose what intensity level you want. 

The Downside…

There’s a catch - it’s not free. 

While I have no problem paying for something that’s worth it (and this platform has been worth it!) - there are some people who find the cost to be a dealbreaker when it comes to porn. And that makes total sense - there are lots of other places you can listen to audio clips that don’t cost a penny. 

Voxxx

If the French language peaks more than just your interest, you might want to bookmark this website right now and thank me later. 

Voxxx is a newer platform that markets itself as an audio porn website that lets you explore your most intimate fantasies. While most of the content is in French, many of their popular audio clips have also been translated to English clips. 

The Upside…

Voxxx is a website that invites women to enjoy guided masturbation and erotic audio content. 

As a woman, I love this. As a woman who finds the French language extremely sexy, I really love this. Whether we like to admit it or not, so much of porn out there is geared towards men and what they want...it’s a breath of fresh air to find a platform that’s made by women for women and dedicated to helping you express your needs and desires. 

The Downside…

Most of the content is in French - so if you have no interest in the language and can’t understand it, this might not be the ideal site for you. Another “downside” if you’d call it that - is that this is a fairly new website (with the English section just being launched in July of 2019) - which means naturally, they have less content available right now than other sites that have been in operation longer.

Listen to Po

Listen to Po is short for “listen to porn”, which is exactly what you do on this super easy to use the website. Listen to Po is a fairly small-sized site that is run by a team of erotica enthusiasts who want to bring you unique listening experiences. 

Listen to Po accepts recordings from anyone, but there is a selection process (unlike some other submission sites), so there is a chance your recording won’t make the cut. 

The Upside…

The “real” vibe of these audio clips is astounding. While most other erotic audio sites focus on clean audio that is more descriptive in nature, the audio clips found on this site might as well be taken directly from your favorite porn video. 

If you’re interested in more than just talking...if you want to hear every thrust, every spank, every breath, every kiss...this is the site for you. 

The Downside…

The website is a bit outdated and not as user-friendly as it could be, which is unfortunate. However, they do have an email address listed where people can not only submit audio clips but can give suggestions on how to improve their experience on the site - so at least they are open to constructive feedback about it.

Another downside to this site - there is an overwhelming amount of female voices and couple/threesome audio clips but there are hardly any male-only audio clips, which can be disappointing if that’s what you’re looking for. 

r/Gone Wild Audio and r/Pillow Talk 

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Reddit because you can find practically anything on Reddit these days...including some very interesting audio porn. 

With obscure titles like “Tipsy Elf Maid in a Tavern” to more run-of-the-mill audio clips about roadside sex and edging...the Gone Wild Audio Reddit has a lot to offer. 

You may have to sift through quite a few things before you find what you’re looking for - but Reddit always has the answers, so it won’t be long before you find something that suits your taste. I mean, there is a full 20-minute audio clip of what is described in the tags as witchcraft, virgin sacrifice, demon summoning sex...where else can you find that!? 

Over on the Pillow Talk Reddit, we have the polar opposite...the goal of this space is to promote relaxation and happiness through relationship roleplaying and comforting words. From soft-spoken lullabies to words of encouragement - this Reddit forum is all about making you feel appreciated, which can get you into the mood real fast. 

The Upside…

Reddit is a place where you can find practically anything if you look long enough. This can be a great thing because chances are someone with your same kinks and fetishes has been on that site - so you’re bound to stumble across things you like that you haven’t been able to find anywhere else. 

The Downside…

It’s Reddit. Reddit can be a confusing hot mess sometimes. Unlike a website dedicated to erotic audio, these are simply Reddit threads that contain audio porn. This means it can be difficult to find something you’re looking for and it’s not as organized as some of the other sites on this list. 

Writer’s Choice: Starting My Day With Play

Who doesn’t love a good morning orgasm? 

Aural Honey 

Aural Honey is unlike any other site on this list. Why? Because it’s more than just audio porn...it’s an audio porn experience. Every audio clip puts you into a scenario and you feel completely engulfed in the fantasy. 

There are essentially two sections of this site...or two types of honey if you will.

 “Tea and Harlotry” is where you’ll find BDSM audio, masturbation audio, and even supernatural erotica. “Sweet as Honey”, on the other hand, is where you’ll find sensual, intimate, relaxation-focused audio clips. 

The Upside…

Aural Honey is a no-nonsense kind of website that gives you very clear sections and subsections that can help you find exactly what you’re looking for in a hurry. The clarity and quality of the audio clips are incredible, and the “Sweet as Honey” section is geared towards making you feel comfortable, happy, safe and cared for. 

The Downside…

Again, I am having this problem: where are the men at!? While I have no problem getting off to a sexy and sensual woman’s voice, it seems particularly difficult to find men’s voices on sites like these. 

Writer’s Choice: Breathless

If you like being choked, this clip will have you feeling hot under the collar real fast.  

Orgasm Sound Library

The Orgasm Sound Library is unlike anything on this list, for all the right reasons. This isn’t just a platform where you can find audio porn...it’s a movement. Bijoux Indiscrets (the company running the Orgasm Sound Library project) believes that there is a unique kind of energy inside each one of us - and they celebrate that energy by breaking down barriers when it comes to sexuality. 

Bijoux Indiscrets has carried out a study that involves over 1400 participants, 30 hours of in-depth interviews and almost 500 hours of studying philia, phobias, and trends to help us better understand our sexual behaviors and desires. 

Part of this study is the Orgasm Sound Library - a place any woman can anonymously upload an audio clip of their orgasm in hopes of showing how diverse female pleasure really is. What an awesome project! 

The Upside…

This is such a one-of-a-kind project and a chance to become a part of something bigger than yourself (by having an orgasm!)...how great is that? 

Sharing your orgasm can help empower other women to embrace their sexuality, their desires, their needs and the energy they have inside them. 

The Downside…

Because it’s not so much a porn audio library as it is a collection of women’s orgasms - the content you’ll find here is quite limited. Females only, and most clips are between 15-90 seconds. Not the place to be if you’re looking for something intense - but still a really cool initiative. 

Slut Sounds Adult Podcast 

The perfect story of a girl with a microphone who just wanted to make people orgasm. As a sex phone operator, Slut Sounds Podcaster Lynnea knows what you want to hear, and she’s bringing that knowledge to a speaker set near you. 

These under 30-minute episodes are aimed at male listeners (which is great because many audio porn websites are geared towards female listeners) - and each episode can be something different. For example, along with assorted erotic audio clips, Lynnea gives sex advice, reads erotic fiction stories and often talks about the latest trends in porn. 

The Upside…

This is a total experience. It’s not just about getting off, it’s about exploring your sexuality, embracing what you want and learning more about things you’re curious about. 

As Lynnea explains it: sex is a pleasure that should be felt out loud. 

The Downside…

While many people love that this podcast isn’t just audio of orgasms, that is what many people want out of audio porn. So if you’re looking to get in, get off and get out - this podcast might not be for you. 

Conclusion…

Our sense of hearing is often underutilized while we’re having sex. 

Of course, there is dirty talk and the occasional moan or whisper in your ear - but audio porn takes things to a whole new level. And if you think about it, phone sex lines have been a thing for ages - so clearly this whole “mysterious voice leading you to climax” thing isn’t a new trend. 

What is new is how accessible audio has become. With the help of the internet and any sexually expressive person with a microphone, there are infinite sound bytes out there just waiting for you. 
Now - if you need me, I’ll be over here listening to that one Voxxx audio clip that gives me all kinds of feels...for research purposes. Obviously.
