The Best Audio Porn to Listen to Tonight

While the mainstream porn industry certainly has its flaws, that's not to say there aren't plenty of ethical porn sites you can turn to in order to elevate your solo sexy time. But if watching porn isn't exactly your thing, you're not alone. If looking for something a little bit different to accompany your masturbation sessions, allow me to introduce you to the wonders of audio porn.

Audio porn is a lot like regular porn, only without the visuals and with more emphasis on the sounds that come with sex. Depending on the type of audio porn you're listening to, it can include ASMR sex, a sexy storyline, erotic sounds, and even guided masturbation. Not only is it a great, hands-free way to get aroused, but a lot of the audio porn options out there are designed specifically by women for women.

One major benefit to listening to audio porn is it allows you to "imagine yourself as part of the narrative," says psychosexual therapist Jodie Slee. "The brain is the biggest erogenous zone, so by tapping into your fantasy and imagination, you can find the whole experience more arousing."

Whether you're a first timer or already well acquainted with the genre of audio porn, trust me when I say, it's a porn category worth venturing into. To get you started, here are the best audio porn apps and sites to try out right now.

Dipsea: For only $13 per month or $70 a year, Dipsea boasts short and sexy stories, wellness sessions, and plenty of other content to get you off. The women-founded app was created to prioritize female sexuality while providing a way to stimulate your mind and clit at the same time. Download Dipsea here.

Quinn: This audio erotica app has something for everyone, with categories including bondage, anal sex, degradation, you name it.

Lush Stories: Lush Stories is basically a social media site for people that love erotica. So while it might be a bit more R-rated than Facebook, the platform serves a similar purpose.

Literotica: While the site may be better known for its written stories, which are contributed by users themselves, there's a massive library of hot and steamy audios for free, too.

Audible: ICYMI, the Audible library has more than just the latest Colleen Hoover novels — though, to be fair, those are pretty sexy already.
