Stop me if one of these doesn’t sound familiar:
You’re in the mood to masturbate and you found really great visual porn to watch, but you want to use both your hands and the idea of propping your phone up sounds like a buzzkill.
Or how about this? It’s the middle of the night and you’re in the mood for some heavy breathing and dirty talk, but the idea of looking at a screen makes your eyes hurt?
What about when you just don’t feel like grabbing your glasses, or are visually impaired and want to consume some really great porn?
If any of those sound familiar—or if you just like erotica—allow me to introduce you to audio porn. Essentially, audio erotica is porn that you listen to. A narrator tells you an erotic story, leaving the rest up to your wildest imagination.
Hands-free porn that lets you visualize the bodies you want to see? Count me in!
Why Audio Erotica Is Great
Personally, I found it easier to find explicit audio content that I had an interest in and felt good about consuming. Here's why:
Erotic Audio Feels Authentic
The content did not rely on the exaggeration of sexual fantasies but rather, they felt authentic. Realistic audio sex stories provided an experience that made it easier for me to be aroused.The Brain is a Sex Organ...and Audio Porn Uses It!
Erotic audio porn also leaves a lot of room for the imagination … like A LOT. There is this sense of collaboration while listening to erotic stories because you get to visualize whatever you want while they provide the audio in order to maximize your arousal.
Audio Porn Platforms Aim for Inclusivity
It’s also easier to find inclusive and ethical audio erotica apps and sites than it is visual porn. I struggle so much finding porn that I find arousing or that I don’t feel bad watching since a lot of it is unethical. Trying different erotic audio platforms didn’t give me that sense of guilt and I was able to focus on myself instead.
A lot of mainstream porn only caters to the male gaze. Erotic audio sites are much more inclusive by sharing content that is appealing to people of all identities.
These sites make it a goal to have a wide variety of creators with different identities that all listeners can connect to.
Erotic Audio Porn is Ethical
The wonderful world of audio erotica apps brings with it varying subscription fees, but this isn't something to be deterred by.
According to the terms and conditions of multiple erotic audio sites, the monthly subscription structure ensures that content creators are being paid fair wages and consent to share their work. This minimizes many concerns about the unethical practices of traditional porn sites.

Dipsea
“Sexy audio stories that spark your imagination and get you in the mood”
Dipsea is an erotic audio platform founded by women and has gained recent popularity. On their website, they emphasize feminist, celebratory, and relatable stories.
They promote sexual wellness and inclusivity by having options for different identities. In fact, you can choose erotic stories using pronoun tags, such as her + them, them + you, her + her + him, and more.
Dipsea breaks away from cis-het male-centered porn and enables listeners to connect to their content on their own terms.
Cost: 12.99 per month or 59.99 per year
Quinn
“Quinn girls finish first”
One thing I noticed about Quinn is that most of their erotica stories are told by men.
If that's what you're into, this site also has a wide variety of categories ranging from accents to spanking, but are best known for their dirty talk category. So for all the dirty talk lovers… Quinn is the erotic audio site for you.
Cost: 4.99 per month
&Jane
“Experience the diverse voices of modern erotica. Authentically told by women, to be enjoyed by all. Follow their stimulating stories week after week.”
&Jane offers narrated erotica told by women, for women. Not only are the erotic stories arousing, but you can rest assured your privacy is prioritized. &Jane promises to never sell user data; what users listen to on & Jane is (and remains) totally anonymous.
Cost: 4.99 per month or 39.99 per year
Aural Honey
“The naughty side of Honey Audio”
For kink-lovers or kink-explorers, Aural Honey is the audio porn site for you.
There is really a category for everyone, with kink categories ranging from sub-dom to supernatural. I really encourage this site for people who want to explore more. It’s also free, so exploring comes at no cost. This is a perfect way to ease into kinks that you might be interested in but might not know if you would enjoy with a partner.
Cost: Free!
Kampsite
“Experience the diverse voices of modern erotica"
Authentically told by men, to be enjoyed by all. Follow their stimulating stories week after week.”
Kampsite differs from these other erotica audio sites because its focal point is gay, bi, and curious men. All stories are told by men, but Kampsite is open to all regardless of identity and/or gender.
Kampsite also has a feature to follow men that listeners find more audibly appealing. This allows listeners to follow content creators and explore different genres of erotica the creator creates instead of searching through genres.
Cost: 6.99 per month or 39.99 per year
Ferly
“Discover who you are sexually”
Ferly takes a sex-ed stance and is based on science and research. (Sound familiar?)
Ferly is great for people who want to understand their bodies. This is achieved by not only providing audio erotica but having exercises and guided self-touch. There are also sessions you can sign up for to cultivate your sexual desire.
Ferly focuses on the physical component of erotic stories, but also mindfulness.
Cost: 12.99 per month, 35.99 per year
Blushh
“Sensual stories for women in Asia”
Blushh was founded by five female high school friends. They describe Blushh as “wellness for women in Asia made HOT.”
Here you can find short sensual audio catered to Asian women and the female perspective. Currently, this erotic audio platform is only available in Korean but the app creators are working to add more languages.
Cost: 1.99 -89.99 per item
So grab your headphones or play it out loud! There is a whole host of audio porn out there waiting for you to tune in and turn on.
