We’ve all heard the hackneyed phrase: the brain is our biggest sexual organ. Reluctantly, we have to admit, it’s true. We engage our imagination all the time in fantasies, sexting, even nocturnal orgasms. But what if our imagination could be used as porn? 

Enter: audio porn. 

If you’re unfamiliar with the concept, it’s pretty much as it sounds. Guided audio masturbation tracks, sexy stories, and ASMR sounds of sex all fall under its umbrella. 

Audio porn can be listened to with a partner, or partners, to help get you into ~the mood~ but it is most exciting when used to enhance self-pleasure. The tracks are designed to be immersive; headphones on, lights out, and you can be in your own little world. Following a voice and a story requires more focus than looking at a screen, so it’s easier to remain in the present moment and really enjoy your self-pleasure time. Engaging your senses in this way, especially if you experience ASMR, also leads to a more embodied self-pleasure practice. 

Audio porn is a growing subset of online erotica, and there is truly something for everyone out there. As a less confronting alternative to visual porn, it can be a wonderful way to explore and broaden your sexuality and fantasies. 

Interested, but don’t know where to start? We rounded up our six favourite places to get our audio porn fix.

1. LBDO

   Yep, that’s us. If you haven’t already, check out our Guided Self-Pleasure Sessions for Vulva-Owners or our Guided Self-Pleasure Sessions for Everybody. We currently share our audio resources for free, and will be expanding on our library and other resources in the near future. Sit back, unwind and sink into the depths of your pleasure with us. 
   
   

2. Dipsea

Dipsea is a subscription-based audio porn app that has hundreds of episodes

ready for your perusal. They do one-offs, multi-episode series, sleepcasts, and online sexual wellness workshops. They use experienced voice actors, have a high production value, and write seriously gripping narratives that are all consensual, feminist and sex-positive. If you don’t already have a Dipsea subscription, you’re coming in at the right time… they just produced their first ever Vampire series. Hot. 

3. Bellesa

You’ve probably already heard of the female-run porn website, Bellesa, but you may not have realised they also have an erotic podcast! Like the porn site, the content focuses on shifting the depiction of women in porn from “objects of conquest” to agents of desire. They’ve got 25 episodes so far available for free, wherever you get your podcasts. It may not be as extensive a library as Dipsea, but it’s a great way to get a taste of audio porn without having to buy a subscription. Each podcast episode is a different steamy story, read to you by a sensual narrator. 

4. Audio Desires 

Audio Desires is also subscription based, but you can access a limited number of episodes for free online. It has a fantastic selection of erotic ASMR tracks, as well as your more typical narrative-based erotic stories and guided masturbation tracks. Some episodes involve more than your imagination too, as narrators on Audio Desires address you directly, and guide you through an intimate evening. You can listen to stories on Audio Desires in English, Spanish or German, with more languages on their way. 

5. Sexy Stories with Chantelle Otten 

This is a (mostly) free podcast series available on Spotify. The episodes are all sexy stories, fact or fiction, submitted by sexologist Chantelle Otten’s followers and read out by her. We love this podcast because it’s Australian and because you can get involved yourself by submitting your own story. Creating erotic content can be just as fun as consuming it. 

6. Cum With Us 

Cum With Us is a small-scale ethical audio porn site. They’ve got hundreds of erotic narrative episodes available for free on their website. The stories are designed to help you explore your fantasies in a safe space. Cum With Us is another great free introduction to the world of audio porn. 

Listening to these and others, you’ll quickly realise that when you take the visual cues away from porn, your imagination has to fill in the gaps. As such, you become involved in the creation of the erotic content, and the consumption of porn becomes an active experience. The result? Porn, just the way you like it. So… what are you waiting for?
