Audio Erotica: The Elite Listening Experience
Alongside the rise of spicy audiobooks, audio erotica is all of a sudden all the rage. Audio erotica, or audio porn, is exactly what it sounds like: adult content, or erotica, delivered through a sexually explicit listening experience. Audio erotica or audio porn is often told through spicy storytelling, similar to an erotic novel, without the pages, and with the addition of sexy sound effects that you would hear in traditional visual pornography, without the video accompaniment.
However, how exactly is it different from traditional porn? The main difference between audio porn and traditional porn is that audio erotica does not have any visuals, it is solely audio content. However, this can actually be better for the consumer because the lack of blue light in audio porn is actually better for the brain than the constant blue light stimulation required for traditional video pornography.
Despite the biological benefit, audio erotica has a multitude of other reasons it has become so popular. The primary reason is the destigmatization of the exploration of erotica. Audio erotica embraces spiciness and creates the space for us to explore, identify, and give a voice and label to all kinds of desires, without the barriers and limitations of traditional video pornography. Similarly, audio erotica is a significantly more inclusive and accessible form of pleasure exploration. Not only does it create a significantly more inclusive space for women, nonbinary, an queer people to search and explore erotica, but it also create a significantly more body-positive environment due to the non-visual aspect of audio erotica. Therefore, it makes it much easier to fantasize or envision yourself in the story if you are not someone who looks like the average porn actress. Similarly, audio erotica is significantly less heteronormative than traditional video pornography due to the diversity in stories and audio erotica experiences an individual can partake in. Finally, it is also significantly more accessible due to the lack of visuals, those who may be visually impaired or have a difficult time with screens can still enjoy audio erotica just as much as an able-bodied person.
Similarly, audio erotica can also be more enjoyable for people who have a hard time relaxing and enjoying traditional video forms of pornography. Similarly, for those who may have a lowered sex drive or have a difficult time relaxing and pleasuring themselves or having sex, audio erotica can be a great way to ease back into it. External stressors and lifestyles can often negatively impact your sex drive and make it more difficult to get yourself in the mood to masturbate or have sex. Audio erotica can often be a very low pressure, low commitment way or getting yourself in the mood and finding what works for you to satisfy your needs and desires. It does not always need to be used to reach an orgasm, sometimes it can be fun to just listen and enjoy without the expectation of needing to cum.
Audio erotica is also often a much more intimate experience for the listener because the intimacy achieved through audio erotica can often not be reached through traditional forms of pornography or erotica. Audio erotica can often be equated to the experience of a lover whispering, moaning, or seducing you in your ear and often feel like a more personal and individual experience than traditional forms of pornography, therefore making it easier to relax and enjoy the experience in comparison to video pornography or an erotic novel. Finally, because it is significantly more ethically produced, through the limited depictions of bodies, dubious sexual acts depicted, and the oversexualization of women, many people find audio erotica much more pleasureable and easy to relax and enjoy.
Now, that you know all about audio erotica, here is how to enjoy it. One of the major benefits of audio erotica is the wide range of types and experiences to be explored. It is imperative to be willing to explore and try new things when experiencing audio erotica to truly find what is best for your needs and desires. Similarly, it does not have to be a solo experience. Audio erotica is a fantastic way to spice up date night and other sexual experiences with your partner (s) that can bring a whole new flavor and side to your sex lives. Similarly, while you or your partner may feel satisfied with your own bodies, a great addition to bring along with audio erotica is sex toys. Sex toys can elevate the sexual experience and potentially create greater and more powerful orgasms when paired with audio erotica, especially for masturbation. Overall, audio erotica is an excellent way to reignite your sex drive or spice up things in your self-pleasure or sex lives and is definitely worth the listen!
